Wuhan ferry has a very long history, and it is also a very important public transport in Wuhan. It is cherished and loved by the older generation of Wuhan people, and it is also a means of transportation that commuters in three towns in Wuhan have to experience every day. The latest version of Wuhan ferry timetable is introduced in detail below.
Wuhan Ferry Timetable
Address: No.14 Jiangtan, Jiang Yan Road, Hankou (opposite to Guangxin Aquatic Products Market)
At 6: 3 every morning, the whistle of Zhonghuamen Wharf sounds, and Wuchang people gradually wake up. The Wuhan pier opposite responded with the same whistle, and Hankou people woke up. Then cars came and went, people crowded, and the day of Wuhan people began.
this is a cheaper mode of transportation than public transportation. You can feel the great Wuhan for only 1.5 cents, and the ticket price is worth it. You can have a 2-minute overview of the river scenery on both sides of the river on the deck, or you can take a selfie in an unscrupulous concave shape. Even sitting beside the pump boat in a daze is an excellent experience. Here, there are ethereal young people, wandering life, and the most famous life in Wuhan.
You can feel the "Hanyang Gate of Linjiang Avenue" in Wuhan when you spend 5 cents in 1 yuan. Here we are. When you get off the bus, you can see Zhonghua Road Pier. If you can't find it, just follow the gloomy and long whistle, less than 5 meters away.
Zhonghua Road-Wuhan Pass is the busiest and most famous ferry route in Wuhan, and it is also the fastest route to cross the river. It only takes 2 minutes for the ship to dock.
In the past, Wuhan people spent an early morning in Hubu Lane, walked for 1 minutes, ferried across the river and went shopping on Jianghan Road, which was a perfect weekend.
Now it is a designated route for many foreign tourists to take a ferry from Jianghan Road to Hubu Lane to eat snacks.
When I came to the dock, the colorful ticket window attracted me at first sight. In the era of going out without cash, you can still see paper tickets, and suddenly there is a sense of crossing.
Now Wuhan Ferry can be directly connected with Alipay, or you can buy tickets in cash at the window.
except for the elderly who can't pay by mobile phone and those who need to take speedboats or sightseeing boats, almost no one will deliberately buy paper tickets.
one more ticket. would you like to go with me?
In order to see the paper tickets again, I can't wait to cash in 1 yuan and buy two speedboat tickets. In this age when I used to swipe my card, such a simple and primitive ticket is precious.
there is still a long and redundant road to the boarding port of the wharf. At this time, the owner of the small electric donkey who is in a hurry to board the boat often comes up with a boarding concerto. Strangely, I don't feel harsh, but I have a long-lost sense of practicality.
When the newly decorated Jiangcheng No.1 landed slowly, the hatch slowly opened and the dense crowd quickly stepped onto the barge. When the cabin was almost empty, the iron gate on this side of the waiting room was pulled open, and people quickly gathered on Jiangcheng No.1, which had just docked.
the boarding process is like some kind of sacred ceremony.
the children were very happy after boarding the boat. Just like us in those days, it was often young people who took the ferry for the first time standing on the deck. Sitting quietly on the second floor are adults who are no longer curious about the ferry, or old people who quietly recall the past.
Of course, you can also buy a speedboat ticket, board another barge and discover a new world like me. Here is a ticket booth that will check your ticket. After you go in, just wait quietly to pick up your boat.
when the boat arrived, I jumped into the cabin that could only accommodate 4 people, blew 16-degree air conditioner, and looked out the window at the spray all the way. Hey, I suddenly feel much better.
after landing, it will be the boundary of Hankou. Obviously, the atmosphere in Hankou is different from that in Wuchang, as quiet as grandma's house in summer vacation.
I have seen Wuhan Ferry when it was the youngest.
Different from the missions and meanings entrusted to it by modern people, in the past, it was just a means of transportation, and its mission was successfully completed when the ship docked.
When there were not so many crossings earlier, taking a ferry became the only way to travel between Hankou and Wuchang. It only took 6 cents to cross the river by boat.
According to Zhang Dezheng, an old ferry passenger, I remember the longest queue, from Zhonghua Road Pier to the overpass at the company gate 3-4 meters away.
he was a wooden pedal when he was young. People stepped on the wooden springboard and staggered from the shore to the boat. The sound of "crunching" has been ringing on the dock for many years.
Old man Zhang Dezheng even sat on a wooden boat and rowed a circle to the other side to meet his sweetheart.
In my memory of Wuhan, when I was a child, the ferry was crowded with people and cars.
From children who go to school by boat in the morning, to young people who come and go between Jianghan Road and Simenkou in the afternoon, and even office workers who go home to cook and take care of their children at night, you can see all kinds of people on the ferry.
There's the grandmother who sells popsicles on the boat. When the child saw the foam box, he seemed to see the coolness.
at that time, the ferry didn't have windows! You can reach out and have a close contact with Jiang Feng. Lying on the railing, you can see "Zhu Jiang (an aquatic animal on the Yangtze River, which is rare now)" jumping out of the river from time to time.
when sitting on a stool, you can feel the motor vibration coming from the soles of your feet. The noise is so loud that you have to talk at the top of your voice on the boat. This is their best memory of the ferry.
The constantly updated ferry has brought a better ride experience, but it has taken away countless childhood and youth in Wuhan. Years left behind, except the water in the river, is the memory I once had, and the ferry will not disappear.
A wave of elderly tour groups just got off the sightseeing boat, and the tickets for the sightseeing boat at the Yellow Crane Tower Pier have been sold out. About half the people in the speedboat are still experiencing it over the weekend.
More office workers choose to lean against the railing of the deck to blow the breeze after work to dispel the fatigue of many days, and take a speedboat to see the rising spray when they are in a bad mood.
Maybe someone, like me, will go to the cashier window to buy a paper ticket, fold it carefully and regard the whole process as a precious ceremony.
people who choose to experience this ceremony on weekdays must want to get something back.
It can be a whistle that sounds every 2 minutes, a rusty hull, or the word "Wuhan Port". It can also be used to verify the difference between the ferry hall where movies were shown in those days and now.
in the final analysis, we all want to get back the lost time, look at the memories from the ferry changes and look at ourselves from the memories. My friends in the same trade told me that as long as there is a river, the boat will not disappear and the ferry will not disappear. In the future, it will certainly appear in front of the world with another attitude.
Over the years, the ferry has become more than just a ferry, with a river at one end and a complex at the other.
Wuhan ferry, from steam engine to diesel oil, from wooden pedals to steel pads, from local means of transportation to tourist sightseeing boats, and the Wuhan tour by ferry, has also moved from lush youth to old age. For so many years, what has been changed by the years is people's way of life. What remains unchanged is the daily cycle of the Yangtze River and the Jianghu flavor of Wuhan people.
