The Corona Virus is a very dangerous and threatening epidemic that is currently affecting China, but we wouldn’t have even heard about Wuhan until the virus hit the news. Before the Corona Virus, Wuhan was an amazing city in China with an intriguing history, a powerful economic workforce as well as a place rich in culture.
What happened to Wuhan was a tragedy, and hopefully China will find some way to fight against the virus and Wuhan will recover. However, until then we can only hope and give our prayers to the people of Wuhan.
Before Beijing, Wuhan was formerly known as the capital of China in the early 1990s due to it being the source of the Wuchang uprising, an event that led to the formation of the Republic of China that we know today. Currently, Wuhan is one of the most industrially and technologically developed cities in China with a railway system that connects to the major cities in China as well. The only reason Wuhan isn’t that famous outside of China is likely because Wuhan isn’t an international hub like Shanghai, Hong Kong, Macau or Beijing.
To better illustrate what kind of place Wuhan is, here are some choice destinations for when you feel like going on a vacation to China:
