Something there is that doesn't love a wall

Administrative Region #10 seemed at first to merit some kind of commemorative post, or at the very least a plaque, but Hubei felt too cozily nestled within my newfound comfort zone to be pigeonholed as exceedingly foreign. My one-day trip to Wuhan, Hubei's capital, was interesting primarily because Wuhan is a kind of mega-city that was once made up of Hankou, Hanyang and Wuchang, three cities splayed across the Yangtze River in central China. Unfortunately, this fact is not very interesting, and save for the Hubei Provincial Museum and the immortal Yellow Crane Tower (pictured below), neither is much else of what is promoted by the Wuhan tourism industry. The city is nonetheless home to almost 10 million people, a considerable number of whom would like to have their pictures taken with some white people. This is one of the many traits that unites the people of Hubei and Hunan, and other than Lake Dongting, very little seems to divide them.
