"Down the river is the Bund in Shanghai, up the river is the Bund in Hankou."

▪️The city of Wuhan originated in Hankou. In 1861, Hankou was opened as a port, and 20 countries, including the UK, Russia, France, the US, Germany, and Japan, established consulates and consular offices here. Hankou became the area with the highest concentration of foreign consulates in China after Shanghai and Tianjin.
▪️Strolling along the riverbank is like walking through a street museum. European-style buildings and Han-style neighborhoods complement each other.
