A century-old alley about 150 meters long, with a bustling breakfast stall group that has been popular for 20 years, and it also brings together many famous Wuhan snacks.
Wuhan local snack brands such as Shiji hot dry noodles, Chenji beef noodles, Xusao soup noodles, Litao siumai, Jinchu soup dumplings, and Duohuzhai tofu skin all started here.
Hubu Lane is always crowded with people, so when eating in Hubu Lane, you must be mentally prepared: first, don’t be afraid of being squeezed by the crowds, and second, don’t be afraid of queuing for a seat.

Walk along the sidewalk for one minute from the west gate of the Yellow Crane Tower, turn right and walk along Minzhu Road for five minutes, and you will reach Hubu Lane. It is a street of snacks. In fact, the things sold in this kind of snack street are all the same. I have eaten hot dry noodles, oden, fruit juice, stinky tofu, etc. here. There are many people and the hygiene is not so good. Once I went there, I almost got into a fight with others because of throwing sticks. There is a song called Hanyangmen Garden, which is probably about the area under the bridge Minzhu Road. Hubu Lane is basically a snack street for beginners.
After getting off the approach bridge, walk to the left and you will reach Wuchang River Beach. You can see the entire Yangtze River Bridge here. Some people swim here, and... take a bath here. I have been to Hubu Lane four or five times in the few years I have been in Wuhan. I only found photos of the earliest one. (My Wuhan Travel Notes: http://www.mafengwo.cn/i/11881806.html)
The location is easy to find and is very close to the Yellow Crane Tower. There are many kinds of food, including bean curd, cheese-baked durian, grilled pig's trotter, and Jingwu duck neck. There were also grilled pig's trotters and a rib, but many people lined up, so I chose grilled pig's trotters. I personally think the bean curd tastes average, just glutinous rice in the egg roll, and some bamboo shoots and bean curd cubes are sprinkled on it. Because it is fried in oil, it is slightly oily. There is no taste overall, maybe I have a heavier taste, hahahaha ヾノ≧∀≦)o. The cheese-baked durian is very fragrant, and there are fewer cheese strands. It is a bit sweet and greasy for one person to eat one portion. The grilled pig's trotter tastes very good, and I asked the guy to grill it a little more, so it tastes very good. The Jingwu duck neck was bought from a couple at the entrance of the alley, because it was right next to the grilled pig's trotter, and I bought it while waiting for the pig's trotter. Maybe because there is no sauce on the surface, it feels dry and spicy, without the sweet and spicy taste of Zhou Hei Ya. There were also some soup dumplings, glutinous rice with fried dough sticks, etc., which I really couldn't eat anymore.
Hubu Lane is a street. Actually, I don’t know which street it is. There are several streets here. Both sides are full of food, including many snacks, such as three-fresh bean curd and red sugar gourd. There are quite a lot of people, but I found that the food here is not cheap. At least I consulted a few red sugar gourds, and the price is more expensive than the street stalls outside. Some of the prices are doubled. So for locals, I guess they may not want to come. For us outsiders, if we want to find a concentrated place for Wuhan local snacks, we can still come.
After arriving at Wuhan Station at 5 o'clock, in a corner, I saw a father bidding farewell to his child who was about to leave. Men don't cry easily, and I couldn't help but feel sad. In fact, I never thought that Haohao would be so outstanding, and I just wanted him to stay by my side in the future. But my son works very hard. In order not to delay him, I will send him far away in the future. We went to Hubu Lane to feast. It is said that on the first day of the new year, Hubu Lane received more than 100,000 people. When we went there, there were not many tourists. I still remember a bowl of hot dry noodles in Hubu Lane almost 20 years ago. This Qiuji Guokui is thicker and has more ingredients. It is said that it has been on A Bite of China. Scorpions, centipedes and spiders are roasted here. I raise them at home. I haven't been in Wuhan for breakfast. It's not bad to taste them in the evening.
Such streets often advertise themselves as local snacks, selling popular snacks such as barbecue skewers, stinky tofu, grilled fish, fried chestnuts, etc., attracting groups of tourists day after day and year after year.
On the way to the Yellow Crane Tower, I happened to pass by Hubu Lane, and I couldn't help but plunge into this crowded "tourist" street, which was only 150 meters long.
When searching for tips on Wuhan, you will definitely mention Hubu Lane. This place has been developed into the most popular snack street in Wuhan, just like Jinli in Chengdu and Taiwan Snack Street in Xiamen. There are constant shouts, tourists queuing up for snacks, and young ladies taking selfies and live-streaming from time to time...
There is a mural at the entrance, depicting the former scenery of Wuhan Yellow Crane Tower and Parrot Island Bridge. Compared to the ordinary tourist snack bar opposite, I am more interested in this picture.
The characteristic of this kind of snack street is the huge crowds of people
There are also many stalls selling pickled fish and dried fish in the snack street, sprinkled with a handful of chili oil, which looks very appetizing.
Walking towards the Yellow Crane Tower, you will reach another exit of Hubu Lane. Take a photo of the door. As for the lower part of the door, unfortunately, there are only human heads...
When I first arrived, there weren't a lot of people. But by the evening, there were so many people that I couldn't get out.
Walking through Hubu Lane, I want to eat everything I see.
In fact, all the food courts have stinky tofu, grilled squid, octopus balls, spicy hot pot, and grass jelly...
I experienced that eating a three-fresh bean curd tube can make me full for a whole day, hahaha
The tofu pudding is delicious. The shredded cheese is also delicious. You can try it.
Who says that only the grilled skewers in the northwest are satisfying? The skewers here can also make me want to stop and drool. There is also one of the most distinctive snacks in Wuhan, bean curd. Pour a spoonful of mixed slurry into the pot, spread it into a thin layer, fry it in oil until it slowly turns golden, sprinkle it with a layer of chopped green onions, and add stuffing such as glutinous rice, fresh shrimp, diced meat, etc. The aroma wafts out with the heat of the pot, and it is crispy, fragrant and tender when you take a bite. I think this is probably the best delicacy in the world.
Hubu Lane is located on Ziyou Road in Wuchang. It is a 150-meter-long century-old lane. Its prosperous breakfast stalls have been popular for 20 years. Hubu Lane, famous for its "snacks", is the most famous "breakfast lane" in Wuhan. At present, there are more than 100 kinds of special breakfasts and snacks here, and it is also the concentration of Wuhan's time-honored brands. For example: Granny Shi's hot dry noodles, Xu Sao's fresh fish paste soup noodles, Xie's noodle nests, Gao Pangzi porridge shop, Chenji red oil beef noodles, Wan's rice wine, Wang's wontons, Heji bean skin, Mapo soup dumplings, Li's pancakes, Gu's meat floss rolls, Lvji oil cakes, Wuji rice cakes, Haolai beef noodles, Laoxiang snacks, Liji noodles, Chenji Shaomei noodles, Xiaowen fried buns, etc. The ancient and narrow Hubu Lane in Wuchang, which is hidden deep in the 800 streets, is famous for its original Han-style breakfast.
When searching for Wuhan snacks, Wuhan breakfast, and Wuhan cuisine on the Internet, Hubu Lane always pops up in a prominent position.
I still remember that when I first went to Wuhan five years ago, I rushed to check in at Hubu Lane. It was a holiday at that time, and there were so many people that it was so crowded that it was hard to describe. But when I went to Hubu Lane again this time, it was obviously not as lively as it was then, but some popular stores still had long queues.
Compared to hot dry noodles, I still prefer to eat bean curd skin. The taste of bean curd skin is really good, but it makes you full after eating it. After eating bean curd skin, you can't eat anything else. For a stomach like me who likes to try new things, it is really too painful.
Although this street is full of commercial atmosphere, it is still the symbol of Wuhan breakfast and the epitome of the image of old Wuhan. Otherwise, there would not be the saying "eat Hubu Alley in the morning and Jiqing Street at night". Oh, the variety of breakfast is very diverse. If you are visiting Wuhan for the first time and want to check in the famous food street, Hubu Alley is a good choice, but if you just want to eat some cheap and delicious specialties, I don't recommend you to come here.
Roasted pig's trotters and a fish are both famous snacks in Hubu Lane. The line from the store entrance almost stretches to the door of the shop opposite.
Hubu Lane for breakfast and Jiqing Street for supper. These two places are well-known foodie paradises in Wuhan.
In the past, Simenkou was the office of the Central Government Office in Wuchang Prefecture. The Government Office was in charge of money and grain, and was popularly known as the "Ministry of Households". During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the east of Hubu Lane was the treasury and granary where the Government Office stored money and grain; the west of Hubu Lane was the granary of Wuchang Prefecture. Hubu Lane was located right between the two warehouses, hence the name.
The reason why Hubu Lane became a food market originated from Xie’s noodle stall in the 1940s. Later, during that turbulent era, it fell silent for thirty years. It was not until the 1970s that it became a market again. It has evolved into the most famous snack street in Wuhan.
Hubu Lane is a century-old lane that is not too long. The prosperous breakfast stalls have been popular for many years. It also brings together many local Wuhan snacks such as hot dry noodles, three-fresh bean curd, beef noodles, soup noodles, siu mai, soup dumplings, and Duohuzhai bean curd. Now Hubu Lane also has many snacks from other places such as Changsha stinky tofu and Xinjiang grilled skewers. Hubu Lane is always crowded, so you must be mentally prepared to eat in Hubu Lane: first, don't be afraid of crowds, and second, don't be afraid of queuing for a seat. Hubu Lane is very well-known and you must check it out.
【Hubu Lane】
Hubu Lane is a 150-meter-long century-old lane, known as the "No. 1 Lane for Han-style Snacks". Its bustling breakfast stalls have been popular for decades. It is a food paradise surrounded by famous streets, buildings, scenery and rivers.
Hubu Lane was formed in the Ming Dynasty and was named in the Qing Dynasty because it was adjacent to the Fantai Yamen (corresponding to the Hubu Yamen in the capital). Hubu Lane, famous for its snacks, is the most famous "breakfast lane" in Wuhan. There is a saying among the people that "eat Hubu Lane for breakfast and Jiqing Street for supper". It is a must-see attraction for tourists to Wuhan.
Hubu Lane was formed in the Ming Dynasty and was named in the Qing Dynasty because it was adjacent to the Fantai Yamen (corresponding to the Hubu Yamen in the capital). It is a 150-meter-long century-old lane, known as the "No. 1 Lane for Han-style Snacks" and another landmark of Wuhan.
The snack street sells the same things as other commercial streets. When I went there, the area was undergoing large-scale renovations and some roads were closed.
This famous food street in Wuhan is about 150 meters long. It is located near the Yellow Crane Tower on the Wuhan Yangtze River Bridge. Just turn right after getting off the bridge. It is a famous tourist and commercial area in Wuhan with "one building, one bridge and one street". However, after a walk around, I feel that the food is rather monotonous. There is a famous Wu's Barbecued Pork Ribs restaurant, where you have to queue for half an hour, and the taste is just average. Another restaurant with a longer queue is the Zhuangyuan Roasted Pig's Trotter.
Hubu Lane is located in Simenkou, the most prosperous area in Wuchang District. It faces the vast Yangtze River to the west and is backed by the Yellow Crane Tower, the "No. 1 Building in the World" to the south. It is known as the "No. 1 Lane for Han-style Snacks". Hubu Lane, famous for its snacks, is the most famous "breakfast lane" in Wuhan. There is a saying among the people that "eat Hubu Lane for breakfast and Jiqing Street for supper". It is a must-see attraction for tourists to Wuhan.
The most disappointing place was Hubu Lane. Although I had given up hope for the snack street, I didn't expect it to be so bad. First of all, it only takes 15-20 minutes to walk from the beginning to the end of the street, and part of it is under renovation. Secondly, there is really no Wuhan snack that I think is unique, and I have no desire to eat it at all.
After getting off the overnight train, we headed to Hubu Lane for breakfast. The alleys are quaint and full of old-fashioned snacks. Glutinous rice wrapped in fried dough sticks, sugar-coated rice cakes, and hot dry noodles, the "first alley for Han-style breakfast." Unfortunately, I didn't have enough food.
Hubu Lane in Wuhan is known as the "No. 1 Lane for Han-style snacks". It is really one of the must-eat spots for tourists. Of course, it is similar to snack streets in other regions, with local traditional snacks and some other common snacks. Of course, I think the best thing about this place is that it is really pure. Except for domestic snacks, basically some chain brand stores will not appear here, which I think is very good. Because I went there during the Qingming Festival, and there was construction here, it was crowded.
One of the snack streets in Wuhan, with bustling crowds in the narrow alleys.
We came at a bad time. The entire Hubu Lane has been under construction for some time, and basically all the shops are closed.
What! Dirty and messy! There is a snack bar inside, nothing there, the bean curd is terrible, it's all shabby, don't come here
It's just a replica of Kenting Street haha ~ Locals all go to Hankou Pedestrian Street or Hengchun Old Street, so I skipped it
The gluten is delicious, but there are too many people, the transportation is inconvenient, and there is a lot of garbage
Hubu Lane is undergoing renovation, so it's difficult to get food. But the prices are OK, and the food isn't particularly spicy.
The street was closed for renovation from April 22 and was expected to take 75 days. What a waste.
How should I put it? Like most snack streets, locals don't like to eat there, but there are many tourists from other places. Apart from specialty shops, other shops seem to be available everywhere.
Very good, I recommend you to go there if you have time.
The most famous snack street in Wuhan. It would be a pity if you haven’t been there.
There are so many snacks, so delicious that you can’t stop eating...
The hot dry noodles tasted great, the other dishes were just average
This is a paradise for snacks and the most delicious street I have ever come across. Don’t ask me which one is better. The one with the longest queue is better. I don’t know if it’s a psychological effect, but it is indeed delicious.
The food street was crowded with people, about 200 meters long, and the food in each stall was almost the same. Of course, I haven't been here before, but I must come. It seemed that many of them were locals. I didn't take any photos, only one at dinner.
Overall it's good, there are indeed a lot of people, and you have to queue
Hubu Alley is a street for foodies. You can try rice wine, hot dry noodles, Wuchang fish, pig's trotters, and taste the local delicacies. Walk along the Hubu Alley and return with a satisfied stomach. Come here if you love to eat or if you are tired of playing. The food with the longest queue is the most delicious. Believe this truth. If you are just here for shopping, please move on.
Almost all the travel notes said this place is not good, but the two foodies at home had to judge it for themselves. The environment is noisy, the floor is greasy, and the trash cans are open on a hot day. You can imagine. I waited in 1 long line, 2 short lines, bought 3 things, and gave up decisively.
It was time for lunch. As soon as we got out of the door, we arrived at Hubu Lane, a famous snack street. This century-old lane is more than 100 meters long and is known as the "No. 1 Lane for Han-style Snacks". Its bustling breakfast stalls have been popular for decades. Hubu Lane is located in Simenkou, the most prosperous area in Wuchang District, Wuhan City. It is adjacent to Shili Changjie (Jiefang Road) in the east, the vast Yangtze River in the west, the "No. 1 Tower in the World" - Yellow Crane Tower in the south, and the Dufu Dike Red Scenic Area in the north [1]. It is a food paradise surrounded by famous streets, famous towers, famous scenery and famous rivers.
Hubu Lane was formed in the Ming Dynasty and was named in the Qing Dynasty because it was adjacent to the Fantai Yamen (corresponding to the Hubu Yamen in the capital).
Hubu Lane has become a well-known brand in Wuhan, a symbol of Wuhan breakfast, and a microcosm of the image of old Wuhan. It is also a must-see when traveling to Wuhan. Originally, it was a place for Wuhan people to eat breakfast, and now it is a snack street. It is even more lively at night, with people coming and going.
Hubu Lane is a street created specifically for tourists. I just walked around but didn't eat here. I still recommend Master Zhao and Minsheng Dessert House.
Because of Hubu Lane, we decided to stay in Wuhan for one night. It feels great to be next to the snack street, but the price is more expensive than Majia Lane, but the taste is still okay
Hubu Lane is an alley of more than 100 meters long. It is always bustling. Foreigners who come to Wuhan often come here to eat. It is a collection of Hubei and surrounding provinces' special snacks and meals (especially breakfast). The variety is quite complete and the taste is also OK. It is also a good place to experience the city life in Wuhan. Don't expect too much about the environment and service. The price is a bit of a rip-off.
When you come to Hubu Alley, eat to your heart's content and fill your stomach first. The dazzling array of snacks and the constant hawking of vendors make your mouth water, and you don't know what to eat first and what to eat later. I have been to Kuanzhai Alley in Chengdu and Huimin Street in Xi'an, but the one that impressed me the most is Hubu Alley.
This most famous snack street in Wuhan did not disappoint me. Apart from being a bit noisy due to the large number of tourists, it is worth a visit and there are really many snacks.
This is a snack street that is most frequented by tourists from other places. It seems that every city has such a street. It is very long and has many varieties of food. Various skewers, bean curd and barbecue are all delicious. There is also a fried ice cream that tastes good. However, the hot dry noodles are just average. There are too many people and it is a bit messy. Be sure to keep an eye on your belongings!
They are all snacks, the buildings are slightly unique, and you should choose the right store for snacks
Although tofu pudding is not a specialty of Wuhan, I really want to eat it. Then I saw this store. A small portion is 6 yuan. It's sweet. And when I put the sugar in it, there was a hair in it. I said okay, I don't want it. The man said, no! You have to have it! I said this is compulsory consumption. He said I can change you a bowl. I said no, thank you. He said, no! You have to have it, and he looked like he was going to beat me up. Then I said, then I give you the money and you don't want the tofu pudding, okay? He said, sure. I was immediately disappointed 😞
I don't think the snacks are very delicious, but you can go and have a look
The coconut milk in Wuhan’s snack street is very fragrant.
Hubu Lane, a street of snacks in Wuhan, is said to be visited by everyone who comes to Wuhan.
Pichaiyuan in Qingdao, Nanluoguxiang in Beijing, Jinli in Chengdu, Huimin Street in Xi'an... Every city has a snack street that is popular with tourists. Yes, these places are so-called snack streets that locals don't go to at all, but as a tourist, it's not a bad idea to experience the excitement.
Travel suggestions: There are also many popular snack shops in Hubu Lane, such as Cai Linji, which sells hot dry noodles, etc. It is quite suitable for food punching. But if you want to try all the food in Wuhan from Hubu Lane, it is definitely impossible.
The snack street is quite lively at night, and people come here to feast their eyes and fill their stomachs.
The snacks in Hubu Lane are not very special. There are not many local delicacies in Wuhan. Stinky tofu, wolf tooth potatoes, Xinjiang barbecue, Thai mango juice... It's more like bringing in special snacks from all over the country, plus some popular online snacks from all over the country.
In the snack street, you can find a snack stall selling 40 skewers of roasted duck intestines for 10 yuan every few steps.
Passing Hubu Lane at eight o'clock in the morning, there were no tourists except for the early-rising locals walking back and forth, and the whole street seemed unusually quiet.
Hubu Alley is one of the must-visit places in Wuhan, recommended by many travel guides. Since many friends who have been to Wuhan told me not to go there, it is a place with no great interest, I probably understand. Hubu Alley is to Wuhan what Kuanzhai Alley is to Chengdu, Hongyadong is to Chongqing, Confucius Temple is to Nanjing, Chenghuang Temple is to Shanghai, Nanluoguxiang is to Beijing...
I would regret not going there, and I would regret it even more if I went there!!! The snacks tasted average, but the price was not average.
I walked around Hubu Lane, and the visual experience was similar to a garbage street in a university, and the taste experience was even worse. There should be a few famous restaurants, such as Yigengbabu, with a long queue in front, while other restaurants were deserted.
Given its popularity, it's worth a look.
Recommendation index: five stars. I could already feel that there were a lot of people on Minzhu Road. I mistakenly thought that this was Hubu Lane, so I ate happily. I bought three-fresh bean curd and a rib, but suddenly I realized that I hadn't entered Hubu Lane yet!!! Fortunately, there was still some space in my stomach. When I entered, there were 17,000 people, but it was still very crowded. I really don't know what the scene would be like when there were 50,000 people the day before. The things sold inside were similar to those outside. Every few steps there was a rib or three-fresh bean curd or pit potatoes or cakes, etc., and there were so few people queuing. I secretly regretted that I shouldn't have eaten outside just now.
The whole street is full of various snacks, which is quite rich. If you are a tourist and don’t have much time to check in the famous shops in various districts, I still recommend coming to Hubu Lane, because there are more snacks here. But I didn’t come here to eat, so I just walked through the scene.
Almost every city will build such a pedestrian street, which is visited by many tourists. After all, for people who are unfamiliar with the place, strolling here is a good choice.
There is a tofu skin shop every few meters in Hubu Lane.
The pig blood soup sold next to Sijimei smells good, the spiciness is good, and the taste is okay. After dark, Hubu Alley is very crowded~ There are queues for all kinds of food, such as Xi'an Roujiamo, Dalian grilled squid, Changsha stinky tofu... It is still very complete.
Hubu Lane is just a gathering place for all kinds of people, and it's like a cookie-cutter food street, which is a bit disappointing.
We moved to Hubu Lane Snack Street. We just ate without taking many photos, but none of them were as delicious as Master Zhao’s in the morning.
Liangdao Street next to it is where the locals have breakfast. Hubu Lane has been commercialized and occupied by tourists from other places. But it is really lively. The street is not long, and there are people queuing in front of almost every stall. There are many snacks from century-old brands here, such as Sijimei soup dumplings, Cailinji hot dry noodles, Dehua Restaurant, Laoqianji bean shreds, etc. In addition, Jingwu duck neck and Zhou Hei Ya, which have become popular in recent years, can also be found. Everyone holds paper lunch boxes or large bowls and eats while walking.
We tasted bean curd with three delicacies, stinky tofu, large sausages, and a piece of pork ribs. Finally, we sat in the time-honored Cai Lin Ji and had a good meal of hot dry noodles, soup dumplings, steamed dumplings, and rice wine. We were very satisfied.
Hubu Lane is even more lively at night, with bright lights and crowds of tourists. The sounds of advertisements in shops, the shouts of merchants, the honking of horns on the streets, and the voices of tourists are all intertwined, revealing the liveliness and hustle and bustle of the city.
Han-style breakfast in the first lane of Hubu Lane is hot and fresh
In the 1940s, Xie's Noodles, which was sold on the street with a small basket on the shoulder, settled in Hubu Lane and became famous in the three towns. In the early days of liberation, it was "incorporated" by state-owned restaurants. In the 1970s, some people made breakfast here to support their families, and many famous snacks such as Shi Po Po's Hot Dry Noodles and Chen's Red Oil Beef Noodles were created.
Wuhan people call breakfast "Guo Zao". It has always been very important, so it has always been rich in content and variety. Hubu Lane, famous for its "snacks", is the most famous "breakfast lane" in Wuhan. Shops are laid out in family units, with homes upstairs and restaurants downstairs for survival.
One of Mr. Cai Lan’s two most enjoyable breakfasts in Wuhan was in Hubu Alley. At the entrance of the alley is an inscription by the famous folk art performer He Zuohuan: “Han-style breakfast comes first with rice, Hubu Alley is fast, hot and fresh”; at the other end, two stone lions are inscribed with the inscription by the famous calligrapher Chen Yijing: “Han-style breakfast first lane”.
It is equivalent to Pichaiyuan in Qingdao, Furong Street in Jinan, and Kuanzhai Alley in Chengdu. To put it bluntly, it is a local snack street that is uncomfortable if you don't go there, and you still feel that it is not very good if you go there, and it is designed to cheat outsiders. For this kind of thing, you can cheat me, and if I frown, I will lose. I will accept it if there is a cheat.
From the beginning to the end, I feel that Wuhan snacks are really nothing. If you go to all the shops selling stinky tofu, grilled squid, grilled meat, and grilled gluten in Hubu Lane, I guess there will be nothing left in the whole Hubu Lane. I have eaten stinky tofu in Changsha. As for seafood, I am from Qingdao, so I just skipped grilled squid, grilled oysters, and grilled mantis shrimp. I tried the traditional Wuhan hot dry noodles, and it felt just average.
Basically, every city in China has this narrow street. A group of fat people are eating skewers in the stinky tofu-filled smell and are squeezed into this street unable to move. I have been to more than 20 cities. Such snack streets are basically places to enjoy the night view and feel the noisy atmosphere, just like Beijing Wangfujing Snack Street, Dalian Dai Street, Xi'an Huifang, etc. After coming here, I fully feel the atmosphere and then eat at the McDonald's next to it and leave. Haha, I come to see, not to eat.
Every place has a street, and in Wuhan this street is called Hubu Lane.
I don't know if it's a matter of personal taste, but after walking around and trying a few restaurants with long queues, I felt that the taste was just okay, not amazing. It was just a visit.
I ate a lot of food in Hubu Lane, and the taste was pretty good.
But it feels more famous than real.
A little disappointed. Except for a piece of spareribs from Chengmingji, the lotus root crisps from Wuhan souvenirs, Xiaogan sesame candy, and cowhide candy, the others were really not tasty. First of all, don't go to those stores that sell similar things and have similar products!!! The shrimps that cost 30 yuan for half a catty are really expensive and unpalatable, and the service attitude is very poor. As for bean curd, I suggest not to eat it in Hubu Lane. It's not authentic at all and not delicious. Hubu Lane disappointed me a little, not just a little bit. Sure enough, the snacks in the snack street nowadays are not delicious. I didn't believe it before.
Hubu Lane has a history of 100 years and is famous for its snacks. It is known as the "No. 1 Snack Lane in Wuhan". But now it seems to have become a place to serve tourists, and locals don't come here to eat. Hubu Lane is still bustling in the rain. Tourists have 10 yuan 40 skewers of grilled squid in their left hand and a bowl of Enshi kang potatoes in their right hand, eating with relish. Unfortunately, I am not interested in these. Hubu Lane is not big, and it took a while to walk through it. There are also some small squares nearby, which are quite similar to the Zu Miao Street in Foshan. I don't think there is much novelty.
You must eat hot dry noodles when you come to Wuhan. After visiting the Yellow Crane Tower, I came to Hubu Lane Food Street. I had a bowl of hot dry noodles, which was really great! Highly recommended!
Hubu Lane Snack Street is a famous snack street in Wuhan and even in the whole country. The most famous dish there should be Cai Linji’s hot dry noodles. It’s a must-go for foodies, but after walking around for a few times, I felt that there didn’t seem to be any special features except the hot dry noodles.
I personally think the pastries in "Nuoxiaomi" in Hubu Lane are delicious, as well as Honghu snails and bamboo rice, but I don't like the ones sold by the pound, such as mantis shrimp, crabs, and shrimps. They are expensive, not tasty, and obviously not fresh. There are too many people in Cailinji, and you have to fight for a seat. I ate soup dumplings and hot dry noodles, which tasted neither good nor bad. You have to queue for soup dumplings, and the hot dry noodles tasted like sesame paste. There is also a three-fresh bean curd, which has a fresh name, but it is very filling. I don't recommend eating it alone. After eating other delicacies, I can't eat it anymore.
It's not bad, but I came here with my parents and didn't enjoy the food very much.
Hubu Lane is very lively at night, with people coming and going and everyone eating their favorite snacks. The bean shreds and three-fresh bean curd skin here are both unique Wuhan snacks.
It is true that Hubu Lane is a street where you can eat snacks from all over the country. It seems that every tourist city has such a food street. However, Hubu Lane is known as the "No. 1 Lane for Han-style Snacks".
The snacks in Hubu Lane are just so-so. I don't eat spicy food. The taste of Siji's soup dumplings is just so-so. If you want to eat stinky tofu, please buy a small portion. The taste is just so-so and the price is too high. I gave up after trying one or two.
Hubu Lane can be said to be the place with the most concentrated snacks in Wuhan, come quickly, foodies! !
We took the high-speed rail from Xi'an to Wuhan early in the morning. After we arrived at the B&B and rested for a while, we started our Hubei tour without stopping. In order to solve the problem of food and clothing first, we chose the most famous snack street, Hubu Lane, as our first stop. However, the weather was not good. It started to rain when we just set out, and then the rain got heavier. It was the National Day holiday, and Hubu Lane was crowded with people. In addition, everyone was holding an umbrella, so it was very difficult to move forward. We lost interest in this place after walking a few steps, and hurriedly chose a few snacks to eat while walking and leaving. The overall feeling is similar to the Muslim Street in Xi'an. It really needs locals to take you to find a good store, otherwise there are signs of Hubei snacks, famous Chinese snacks, etc. everywhere, which is really dazzling.
Hubu Lane is located in the most prosperous Simenkou of Wuchang. It is adjacent to Shili Changjie (Jiefang Road) in the east, the vast Yangtze River in the west, the Yellow Crane Tower, the "No. 1 Tower in the World" in the south, and the Dufu Dike Red Scenic Area in the north. It is a food paradise surrounded by famous streets, towers, scenery and rivers. Hubu Lane was formed in the Ming Dynasty and was named in the Qing Dynasty because it was adjacent to Fantai Yamen (corresponding to the Hubu Yamen in the capital).
