Overview

It's a guided tour of colonial architecture & hidden Histories in Hankou (one of the districts in Wuhan). Your tour guide is certificated. The tour is perfect for history buffs & architecture photographers. The historical timeline is from 1861 to 1930.

Hankou, where the Yangtze Meets the Thames, is Wuhan's cross-civilization Odyssey. Standing at this forgotten crossroads. Let's start the private expedition to Wuhan's global heritage. In tea, steel & revolution, Wuhan's globalized past is revealed.

Within 1.5km of Yanjiang Avenue lies a condensed global architectural history: Neoclassical to Art Deco, Mansard roofs to Manchurian windows. These buildings are both colonial scars and witnesses to the technological revolution – Germans brought reinforced concrete, British introduced urban planning, while Chinese artisans achieved cultural counter-conquest through craftsmanship.

Here, every brick confesses cross-cultural tales, every sunbeam extends a century-spanning invitation.
