Hubu Lane in Wuhan is not specially designed to entertain foreign tourists, but has been built as a tourist spot, so many tourists come here. There are many local snacks in Wuhan, almost all over the streets and alleys. However, because Hubu Alley is not very cost-effective, locals will not go there specifically to eat in Hubu Alley.
In the 1980s, Hubu Lane was just an ordinary alley. There were not many breakfast shops, let alone any influential breakfast shops. It was originally a breakfast street. Later, after several expansions, almost all Chinese snacks were gathered here, and it was fully hyped into a tourist spot to attract tourists from outside.
Since it is a tourist spot, of course it has a common problem with tourist attractions across the country, which is that it is expensive and tastes bad. Even a century-old store like Louwailou in West Lake is no exception if it is located in a tourist spot, not to mention that Hubu Lane does not have any famous stores or any famous snacks. In the past, most of the famous Chinese snack shops were located in the area from Liudu Bridge to Jianghan Road in Hankou. Now the good shops are scattered all over the place. As a Wuhan native, of course, I will go wherever I know the delicious food. It is definitely impossible to go to Hubu Alley. .
Wuhan’s Hubu Alley is now known as the “No. 1 Chinese Snack Alley”. For foreign tourists, this is really one of the must-visit attractions. Of course, there are snack streets here and in other areas. Similarly, there are not only local traditional snacks, but also some other common snacks.
But I think the best thing about Hubu Lane is that it is really pure. Except for domestic snacks, basically some chain brand stores will not appear here. I think this is very good, but during the holidays If you go to check in, the entire Hubu Alley will be overcrowded, and the tourist experience is not very good.
