Hubu Alley

Hubu Alley runs 150 metres north to south inside the old city of Wuchang, four metres wide, joining Minzhu Road and Ziyou Road, and it keeps the brick-and-timber houses of its Ming and Qing lane. Its name comes from the Ministry of Revenue office on its east side, and a map in the Ming Jiajing-era Hubei gazetteer already marks it. It is known as the first lane of Hubei-flavoured breakfast: hot dry noodles, soup dumplings, bean skin and mianwo, sold from shops where the family lives above the counter. The lane was renamed in 1967, restored in 1972 and widened from three metres to eight in 2006.
