It is said that Wuhan is a city where you can find delicious food wherever you go. In recent years, I have been running around the world, but I have ignored many famous cities in China. Wuhan is such a noun that only exists in my impression. Because of my work, I stayed in Wuhan for two nights. I arrived late at night on the first day and left early in the morning on the third day, leaving only 24 hours to appreciate the flavor of the city.

Chinese style breakfast is too early

In Wuhan, whether you know the local dialect or not, there is a noun you must understand, that is: premature.

On the first night in Wuhan, a senior who had studied in France suddenly called to tell him that he had returned to work and live in Wuhan. When he met his old friends, he just let him show me this strange city. I still remember when he described the people of Wuhan as saying, "they are very leisure and love playing mahjong most. But if they choose between playing mahjong and eating, they must choose eating first." It can be seen that people in the Han Dynasty are all born eaters! Also, why only play mahjong and eat two choices? What about moving bricks? Back to the point, when you come to Wuhan, you must have a taste of the local breakfast. That is, it is too early for the population of Wuhan. Here, it has become the culture of Wuhan. Every morning, walking through the streets and eating some special snacks in the small shops in the neighborhood, you may find unusual surprises.

Have a breakfast with the local people in Liangdao Street

Every friend who goes to Wuhan for tourism strategy must see the recommendation of characteristic snacks such as overheated dry noodles and bean curd. Tourists begin to plunge into the online snack streets like "Hubu lane". No one knows that the real authentic snacks are hidden in those streets year after year.

When I asked my friend if he should go to Hubu lane to eat authentic snacks, he said with a smile, "we all go to the side of Liangdao street." Yes, it is this street that extends among the many old residential houses. Here, aunts and uncles can be seen everywhere, carrying big bags of breakfast and ingredients, visiting stores, which will be the early place for my one-day tour in Wuhan.

Liangdao street is not far from my residence. I have to go through a very shabby alley. Even such a alley has breakfast shops. It can be seen that the people of the Han Dynasty really love prematurity.

To explain why Wuhan snack culture is so popular, let's take a look at the prices in the figure below. In today's skyrocketing prices of the city, here still retains the flavor of the past, people's living habits can naturally be preserved for a long time.

In Wuhan, there are various restaurants on every street, and many famous local snack bars are gathered in Liangdao street. It's different from the common restaurants and restaurants. The shabby little restaurant full of market atmosphere reminds me of Shaxian snacks and Miaoxiang flat food. It seems that the street is not noisy in the early morning. Many small shops even have no signboards. Outsiders can't locate them. It's all up to the familiar people in the neighborhood to think about their taste.

1、 Master Zhao Hongyou's hot and dry noodles every day. I don't know how to describe that a snack bar can have a long line every day. This well-known wanghong shop is now full of people from 7:30 every day. Since the opening of the store in the morning, there has been a lot of shouting about fried bread and hot and dry noodles, which are also the shop's signboards.

==Hot and dry noodles = = every tourist who comes to Wuhan wants to taste the most delicious hot and dry noodles, and master Zhao has become the best choice for hot and dry noodles. For Wuhan people, they can eat hot and dry noodles three times from morning till night, but for me, it seems that it's just noodles with chili oil

Look at the crowd in line... The first one is just waiting to buy a meal ticket, and then they have to line up to get hot and dry noodles and other snacks... Dizzy... Give up the line decisively

Don't ask me how I didn't have to wait in line to eat master Zhao's hot and dry noodles. Take out boy, let me know

==Although hot and dry noodles feel ordinary, among master Zhao's snacks, fried wheat in oil cake is worth considering. Looking at the spread of good dough, Yila down into the past, until the salty golden, into the just steamed wheat, all at once, making the cake and wheat together to create a new delicious snack== Eggnog = = jiuniangyuanzi with eggs, so it has a name: eggnog, which can be served with hot and dry noodle soup when it's too early. It seems that the alcohol concentration is higher than jiuniangyuanzi. I don't know if it will be used as a drink driver... Second, national bean skin = = bean skin = = a snack that has been planting grass for a long time before I came to Wuhan. This small shop has a very small facade, It is said that the couple have been driving here for more than 20 years, which can be regarded as the most familiar flavor of children around.

The first time I saw it, I couldn't believe it. It's a golden egg skin, wrapped with glutinous rice fried in an iron pan, with spiced bean curd, mushrooms, minced meat, fried in an iron pan until fragrant, sprinkled with scallions, and the heat rolled up the fragrance. With the chewiness of crispy skin and glutinous rice, you want to have another bowl after eating.

3、 Three fat kidney powder = = kidney powder = = walk along the grain road street to the end, you can find another famous snack bar, and you can see by looking at the winning brands in front of the door. Look at the name. Are the shop owners three fat people?

The environment of the restaurant is relatively clean. It's a local traditional shop. I was the first customer. I ordered a kidney powder and watched the landlady put the kidney powder and the broad powder into the boiling water. After a little time, the kidney turned into an attractive purple brown, and the broad powder became smooth and transparent because of absorbing enough soup.

The kidney of this family is well processed, without any fishy smell, and the soup is particularly delicious. If you add a plate of meat to a big night, it will definitely be enough for a lunch.

In addition, there are many other famous snacks on this street, such as Guilin rice noodles, Chongqing cattle powder, Jiguan dumplings, paste soup powder, etc. However, after eating a few snacks, I was so full that I had to give up paste soup powder, which was full of pepper and fish noodles. This is definitely the favorite of pepper star people.

The new rhyme of Tanhualin ancient road

Tanhualin is not far from Hubu lane and Liangdao street. It is a tourist Street mixed with residential buildings and commercial streets. It not only retains the style of the Republic of China, but also has many old stores. Although it is not as crowded as the literary and artistic streets in other cities, it also has a kind of small jasper and quiet atmosphere.

Perhaps in the morning, many small shops have not opened yet. The snack bar in this street is different from that in Liangdao street, but with a bit of fashion.

I took a picture of Zhang primary school. I don't know if the Central Primary School in Wuhan is like that in Beijing and Shanghai, surrounded by "valuable" school district houses.

In Tanhualin, you can take photos and stroll around, then find a small shop and enjoy a coffee afternoon. There are many interesting creative shops selling handicrafts, tourist souvenirs and so on.

There are many cafes and creative shops, but there are still many locals in the street stalls, simple pastry, breakfast snacks, small gadgets, peddlers, although they play the main role in literature and art, they still maintain the local flavor.

Old Wuhan soda, I admit that I was attracted by the dragon which is a bit of a gun... It's OK to try different kinds of soda.

Attracted by the flower cat on the door of the store, I walked in and saw that there was a kitten squatting at the door of the store. People who love cats said they had to go and have a hand.

It looks like a fierce cat. There are words on the door: "don't suck the cat, it's easy to hurt". Well, it seems that the cat is very powerful.

Nowadays, no matter where you go, there are several places for domestic tourism. With the brand of literature and art, it has finally become a street that can only be described by literature and art. Then countless young people, who are popular or not, come here to punch in and take photos, but they also ignore the slow life they should have. Different from those cities I have been to, Tanhualin seems to have a different charm, because it also retains some old buildings. This is in today's trend of constantly following the trend of transformation, but also valuable to retain the past history, the traditional humanities, the feelings of the local people, and the concept of literature and art small fresh fusion, but let people feel closer.

The surrounding area of Tanhualin has a long history. During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, it was the seat of the governor's office and county government. At the end of the Qing Dynasty, a large number of missionaries preached and ran schools here, thus building a number of buildings with Western characteristics. There are more than 50 modern historical buildings here, including churches, hospitals, schools, city walls, etc. the information of these historical buildings can be found on the guide board at one end of the street.

Snacks in Hubu Lane

In every city, there is a snack commercial street for tourists, and Hubu Lane takes on this role. Under the banner of being a place name snack, such streets often sell popular snacks such as barbecue string, stinky tofu, grilled fish, fried chestnuts and so on, attracting groups of tourists to come here day after day and year after year. On the way to the Yellow Crane Tower, I happened to pass Hubu lane. It's not uncommon. I also plunge into this crowded "tourist" street, which is only 150 meters long.

Hubu Lane will definitely be mentioned in the strategy of searching Wuhan. It has been built into the most popular snack street in Wuhan, just like Jinli in Chengdu and Taiwan snack street in Xiamen. There are many cries, tourists waiting for snacks in line, and young ladies who take photos and live broadcast from time to time

A mural at the entrance, the scene of Wuhan Yellow Crane Tower and yingwuzhou bridge, is more interesting than the ordinary tourist snack bar opposite.

This kind of snack street is characterized by a large number of people

Roast duck sausage is a street snack you often see in Xiamen

This stinky tofu has a long queue. You can see that the staff are frying the stinky tofu in a huge oil pan. The taste is good. If you like, you can buy a small portion to satisfy your hunger.

A large piece of roast pig's feet, with some spices and sesame seeds, looks very attractive

When you come to Wuhan, duck neck may also be a must order snack bar. It's roasted, stewed and of all kinds of flavors. Anyway, since Zhou Hei duck and Jingwu duck neck came into being, duck neck has become a popular snack in the hands of Wuhan people. As an aside: you must try duck neck with spicy taste, because Hu Jianren, who can't eat spicy, says that after eating a whole duck neck, his mouth is swollen... It's really swollen

There are spicy crayfish and spicy shrimp

I like eating conch very much, but I don't know how it tastes

Hubei is a big lotus producing province in China. All kinds of lotus food that have never been eaten have been played to a new height in Wuhan. On the first night when I arrived in Wuhan, my friend invited me to eat lotus root balls and fried lotus root silk that I couldn't find anywhere else. At night, I was dragged to eat lotus root ribs soup. Now I can still see Lotus Root in snack street... No, I can't eat lotus root all day, otherwise ch Ou is ugly

There are many pickled fish and dried fish in the snack street. Sprinkled with a large amount of chili oil, it looks like it can arouse the appetite.

Walking towards the Yellow Crane Tower, you will arrive at another exit of Hubu lane. Take a picture of the characteristics of the door. As for the lower part of the door, unfortunately, only the head

Overlooking the Yellow Crane Tower in the afternoon

If you have enough to eat and drink, maybe you should take a look at the Yellow Crane Tower, a landmark building in Wuhan. Once upon a time, how many writers and poets wrote poems here, leaving a lot of eternal songs. Now, the Yellow Crane Tower, which has been renovated for several times, has lost its legend. Once upon a time, people had gone by the Yellow Crane, but there was no yellow crane tower left here. That's what I said

According to the schematic diagram of the Yellow Crane Tower Scenic Spot, the ticket price of the Yellow Crane Tower has risen to 80 yuan per person. Many local friends also say that there is nothing to play in the Yellow Crane Tower Park and they don't need to go in. However, as tourists, if they have leisure time and money, they can still go in and visit it.

The once famous Yellow Crane Tower, Qingchuan Pavilion and guqintai are among the three famous places of interest in Wuhan, and Yueyang Tower in Hunan and Tengwang Pavilion in Jiangxi are also known as the "three famous buildings in the south of the Yangtze River". There are too many ancient poems in my memory from here, but now I have lost the elegant style of that year, and I can't escape the fate of becoming a punch in scenic spot.

The Yellow Crane Tower was first built in the second year of Wu Huangwu (223 A.D.) in the Three Kingdoms period. After many twists and turns, it was damaged and rebuilt many times. The current building was rebuilt in 1985, with a total of five floors and a height of 50.4 meters. If the weather is fine, you can also overlook Hankou.

The weather in Wuhan is always gloomy. It is said that it is the same in winter.

The magic drama of hanxiu

Hanxiu is a world-class water show invested by Wanda Group with 2.6 billion yuan. It is directed by Frank Degong, a world-renowned stage artist, who is the director of the "water dance room" in Macao, the "O" show in Las Vegas and the "dream" show. The show combines stunts, high altitude extreme sports, stage play, jujitsu, dance and other forms of performance. Using high-tech stage equipment, world-class acousto-optic equipment and the world's first movable / lifting seat facilities, it is a perfect presentation of top technology and performing arts, and also a world-class water dance show to be seen in Wuhan. Christmas comes here at the fourth anniversary celebration of hanxiu. At the celebration, cool black technology show and live band performance are also displayed, which is full of praise.

Wuhan, as we often say, is actually very big. It is divided into Hankou, Wuchang and Hanyang. One district is equal to Xiamen. Local friends often say that those in Hankou do not go to Wuchang and those in Hanyang do not go to Hankou. Hanxiu theater is located in Wuchang District, adjacent to Wuhan University and chuhehan street, and in the same district with the Yellow Crane Tower, Hubu lane and other punch in attractions. If you only come to Wuhan for one day, it is worth considering to enjoy the Yellow Crane Tower every day and watch the chuhanxiu at night. The total construction area of the theater is about 86000 square meters. It has eight floors above the ground and four underground, with a height of 77 meters and a diameter of 110 meters. Its architectural concept originated from the traditional Chinese red lantern, and its design idea is extremely ingenious. Now it has become a major landmark in Wuchang District, and many photographers are competing to take photos here. At the same time, in addition to the weekly Han show performance, the theater also often has invited plays, such as Lisa Ono's concert, Hayao Miyazaki's concert, crosstalk performance, tour and so on（ The picture below is the official propaganda picture. Because the surrounding roads were being renovated when I went, I couldn't take a panoramic picture directly.)

At the entrance of the first floor, some costume props of hanxiu show are displayed. Among them, hanxiu's costumes are designed by Ye Jintian, who won the best costume guidance award and the best costume design award at the Oscar. Each set of costumes is hand-made, which integrates modern art and "Orientalism aesthetics", and is an invaluable treasure in the art field. Here are the imitations, and the costumes on the actors are more luxurious.

The hall of hanxiu theater is decorated with gold, and the overall style is grand and luxurious. On the golden curtain wall of the hall on the first floor, Chu decorative symbols with unique cultural characteristics are carved, including colorful mandarin ducks, chimes of Marquis Yi of Zeng, sacred birds and auspicious elephants. The golden curtain wall on the second floor is carved with allusions of the Three Kingdoms, including burning red cliff and borrowing arrows from grass boats, which represent Hubei's very long history of Jingchu culture. On the occasion of the fourth anniversary celebration, there is also a photo exhibition area on the second floor.

The stage of hanxiu theater is the largest and most high-tech stage in the world, with a total of 2000 audience seats. It is the first water show theater in the world with mobile and lifting seats. The seats are divided into rotating seat area and lifting seat area. At the beginning of the performance, the rotating seat is closed. During the performance, the rotating seat is opened and the lift seat is lowered vertically. The overall audience seat is 270 degrees open, and the middle is enclosed to the stage. The investment in the auditorium alone is astronomical, just to let the audience have the best experience in the process of watching.

In order to cooperate with the performance and achieve the best effect, every performance music of hanxiu is directly played by the band.

The "show" in the Han show refers to a new type of comprehensive stage performance, which first emerged in the United States at the beginning of the 21st century after musical. Through the perfect combination of various forms of music, dance, extreme athletics and acrobatics, and through the cutting-edge technology, the stage visual effect of naked eye 3D is presented. The performance of Han Xiu combines the cream of China's Chu Han culture, presenting a magical and cool show to the audience.

There is no language or subtitle in the whole performance. If you appreciate it carefully, you can take it in. It's about a young couple who travel through time and space to another planet.

The hospitable red faced queen first held a grand celebration to welcome the messengers from the world.

The jujitsu master Ding Ding Ding's individual jujitsu performance, a group of actors' jujitsu skills are also extremely superb, the extreme development of personal body flexibility, and combined with the stage presentation, showed us a wonderful performance

Amazing body skill, even if you keep exercising, it's hard to master such strength and balance.

Suddenly, the style of painting turns sharply, accompanied by the thunder and lightning in the background, the king of the black planet appears, followed by the war drum falling from the sky, beating the drum in bursts, exciting, as if back to the Warring States era. A group of vigorous actors hang under the war drum, performing various difficult movements on the shelf.

This battle drum almost brought the audience's mood to the climax, followed by a more exciting high-altitude diving. First, the two little sisters on the edge of the battle drum began to dive from a height of about 10 meters, and gradually rose until the final double 27.5 meters diving. This is the limit of diving in the world. So far, only four people in the world can complete this kind of diving, and two of them are the best, It's on hanxiu.

Hanxiu's performance is climax. Just after the high-altitude diving, it's time for the high-altitude ballet. The beautiful lady shows all kinds of difficult and beautiful movements on the rings with music, which is eye-catching.

However, what's really wonderful is the subsequent performance of the hairpin. Actresses use natural long hair to connect with steel wire to complete high difficulty skills: rapid rotation, balance and flying in the air. Because the body weight depends on the hair to suspend, the hair will become loose. It's really a life hanging performance. Only a few people in the world can do this kind of performance, and it is very harmful to the scalp. Before each performance, they have to massage their scalp for an hour, so they can only perform twice a day at most. It's all up to luck to see such a wonderful performance.

The music is still in a hurry, followed by a men's and women's water dance performance. Through the suspension of wire rope, the actors sometimes in the water and sometimes in the air, constantly performing various beautiful movements.

What we have to mention here is the dry and wet switching of the stage. Above the pool with a water depth of 8.7 meters, the dry and wet can be quickly separated within 1 second. Like a miracle, the water stage and the dry area stage theater can switch at a second's speed. It's amazing. So far, I don't know how this technology is realized.

There are three giant LED screens on the stage of hanxiu theater, with a total area of 225 square meters, which is comparable to IMAX giant screen. During the performance, the LED screen rotates, flies, splices and splits freely in the air to enlarge the stage space. What moves the giant LED screen is the mechanical arm connected behind them, which can expand up to 28 meters. A single robot arm weighs nearly 230 tons, which is the largest intelligent robot arm in the world at present, and can realize 360 degree free motion.

With the advance of the plot, the two kings, black and red, appear one after another. The hero and heroine's love adventure gradually comes to an end, and they meet again under the witness of different world stars.

Another cool performance is the last indoor water show. This is the only indoor water airsman show and motorboat stunt show in the world. Motorboat riders, like water dragons, jump, rotate and somersault on the water, causing huge waves to churn. The thrilling and exciting scenes, together with the naked eye 3D special effects, are like Knights fighting dragon, attracting the audience's exclamation.

The 90 minute Han show shows us the high-tech sound and light effects, the human challenge beyond the limit, the integration of Chinese and Western elements, and the perfect combination of dance, acrobatics and extreme sports. It's an ultimate feast both visually and audibly.

At the end of the performance, life is still beautiful, let's twist together.
