Hubei is China’s innermost province, located at the midpoint of the Yangtze River, and is a region of cultural, historical and agricultural significance. Enshi Grand Canyon, Wudang Mountain, a sacred Taoist mountain with hundreds of temples and palaces, and the Three Gorges of the Yangtze River are just three of the popular destinations where people go to reconnect with nature. The capital city of Hubei is Wuhan, known for its colonial architecture and sesame noodles. In the evening, streets fill up with street vendors selling local delicacies, markets are bustling, and roadside stands invite people to unwind with a BBQ and beer. By day, tourists flock to the Yellow Crane Tower and stroll around East Lake, the largest lake within a city in China.
A visit to China isn’t complete without a trip to the opera. Han Opera, one of the oldest local operas, originated in Hubei during the Qing Dynasty. The Han opera, originally sung by women picking tea, is one of the most famous performances in China. The Hubei Provincial Museum, in Wuhan, has an extensive collection of archaeological and cultural exhibits and stages performances of ancient music and dance. If you’re considering a visit to Hubei Province, check out these top Airbnb vacation rentals.
