City walk

Near the street is the over 600-year-old Tanhualin historical and cultural block, where 52 heritage structures blend Chinese and Western elements. The attraction lures youngsters with cultural creative products shops and intangible cultural heritage workshops.

From there, I found a good position to overlook the city's landmark, the Yellow Crane Tower, an inspiration for poets and scholars since it was originally built in the year 223. The tower has been repeatedly constructed and destroyed throughout history, and this year commemorates the 40th anniversary of its reconstruction.

I then hopped on a ferry at the nearby Zhonghua Road No 1 pier, which took me across the Yangtze River to Hankou for just 1.5 yuan ($0.21). I was not surprised to see locals with their bicycles and delivery riders with electric bikes, because I knew that it's a daily commute for them, just like taking a bus.
