Our First Impressions of WUHAN! - Not what we expected!

Would you travel to the other side of the world for noodles? Well... we did!
In this video, we finally make it to Wuhan to try one of our favourite noodles in China. Whilst we were in Wuhan we thought we should squeeze in seeing some sites and not just eating noodles all day. So, this is our first impressions of Wuhan.

Nicol and Jack, you have incredibly high-quality videos, both in terms of filming techniques and content. You are doing very important work and are ambassadors of cultural exchange. Although I'm not sure why you haven't gained widespread popularity yet, and your subscriber count and viewership haven't skyrocketed, I have always supported you. As a Chinese person, I am grateful for and support your efforts.

The reason why Chinese like Huang He Lou (The tower) is mainly due to its deep root in Chinese literature/poems/, to an extent it become part of the culture maybe. So if a foreigner without such backgrounds, it is unlikely they would enjoy as much as Chinese do. For example, at least 50% knows the famous poetry, 故人西辞黄鹤楼 （last three characters means the tower）, 烟花三月下扬州，孤帆远影碧空尽，唯见长江天际流。It was written in 730 AD, it is a poerry about Spring, friendship, farewell, and . By visiting this place, those Chinese with these poetry background knowledge feel deeply connected to its past and its ancient culture. But for someone without such a background, yes, it is just a tower.

[@marcolam1167]

外国人只看到一座楼，当然觉得贵。黄鹤楼不仅是中国四大名楼之一，中国人看到它，会联想到历代名士崔颢、李白、白居易、贾岛、陆游、杨慎、张居正，以及他们的诗赋。"昔人已乘黄鹤去，此地空余黄鹤楼。 黄鹤一去不复返，白云千载空悠悠。"，‘’故人西辞黄鹤楼， 烟花三月下扬州。‘’人人都会来上两句。正是这些诗句，使得黄鹤楼更加名扬天下。

As a Wuhaner, I've never visited the Yellow Crane Tower again after it started charging since the 90s. Its a re-build and all authentic works in that tower were burned to ash already. Instead, I'd recommand the East Lake and Mo-Mountain resorts, which is totally free but unique in urban area.
