East Lake (Wuhan)

East Lake is part of Wuhan’s everyday landscape as well as a scenic destination. Open water, bays and wooded hills give changing views along its greenways. Moshan’s modern Chu-themed structures offer a contemporary interpretation of regional culture, while Hubei Provincial Museum nearby holds excavated objects from the wider province.
