IV. Jianghan Road Pedestrian Street

This is the business center of Wuhan, and it is also a business card of Wuhan. Both Wuhan people and tourists like to go shopping here. As the saying goes, you have not been to Nanjing until you reach Confucius Temple, and you have not been to Wuhan until you reach Jianghan Road.

According to the records, in 196, it was Xinsheng Road, and then it was rebuilt into Zhongshan Avenue. In 1927, it was renamed Jianghan Road, which has a history of more than 1 years. Today, the pedestrian street is located in the center of Hankou, starting from yanjiang road in the south and reaching Jiefang Avenue in the north.

Although Jianghan Road Pedestrian Street is a commercial street, tourists come here more like enjoying architecture.
