Didn't know that was from Wuhan itself, thanks. Probably the suburb of Wuhan, where there are a lot of French companies including Citroën or Valéo.
Totally agree, I visited Wuhan several times. That's a very huge and modern city, but still very green with huge parks, including famous East lake, some interesting monuments, like Yellow crane Tower, or Guiyuan temple (from Yuan dynasty). The so good hot dry noodles. The place of the 1912 Qinhai revolution following Wuchang uprising, at the source of the fall of last Emperor and first Republic of China.
Also visited other parts of Hubei province several time, big fan of, and especially the Hubei cuisine (鄂菜), with at least Wuhan and Jingzhou (or Shashi) ones :). Lot of lotus based food, and other lakes and river products.
Other famous place I liked in Hubei, are:
Jingzhou is also a place with huge history, capital of Chu state during 3 kingdoms period, at the source of the famous romance, the museum has incredible collections from prehistory to modern days. This is also one of the few Chinese cities to still have its old city walls, and there are very beautiful gardens with lot of peach trees with their beautiful flowers bloom and traditional architecture.Shennongjia natural reserve, with it's natural forests and its widl life, lakes, remains of very old cultures, and high mountain ranges, with lot of Azalae.Enshi, with lot of Tujia and Miao minorities, their nice architectures and cuisine, the best rice I eat and very good green tea. Beautiful landscapes, including some huge canyons and beautiful riverbank.Wutang shan (the famous place of taoists warrior-monks), with beautifull montains and some very old buildings, including some from Yuan to Qing dynasties.The impressive three gorges dam and near city of Yichang with grottoes and changjiang (Yangzi) local valley landscape.Still need to discover some other parts :).
