We Discovered The TRUE Story Of WUHAN 🇨🇳

We visited the epicentre of the 2020 pandemic, to find out what life was like here.
Wuhan has some of the best infrastructure we have seen in any city, totally amazing food with street food dotted all over the city.
We had some issues in Wuhan, but despite the huge language barrier, the friendly people here were always looking to help where they could.
Great city full of incredible stories if you can look past the headlines.

No matter what anyone says, for me Wuhan is a city of heroes. There were so many tearful stories of heroism during the epidemic, so many lives taken by the virus, and I have family members who lived in Wuhan and fought the plague. Even with all the rumors and slanders, the city is alive and well today. I hope you guys have fun along the way.

[@cheungchingtong]

Recently the influnza and bronchopneumonia are coming back as usual like every other years during the winter time, and some medias started to make a scene again when the Chinese government reported some of the cases to the WHO, just like the old days. Back in 2020 when the EU started to have massive covid tests, they found out some cases could be dated back in 2019, slightly before the outbreak in Wuhan, the WHO openly discussed it for a while, then stopped all the discussions all the sudden due to some "unknown pressures". Sometimes really feel sad for the Chinese being smeared all these years by medias and haters that follow their medias just because they chose a different type of political system and being silenced almost in every possible way the collective west could has done, guess that's why Tiktok was called to trial in the US Congress, it is not controlled by any westerner. Anyway, Wuhan is a great city, full of history, food and culture, enjoy guys.

[@privacyhelp]

the reason why u.s govt hates tiktok is because they cant inject spy script like they did to other u.s social media apps (fb, ig, google, etc)

[@wenliu9571]

Every winter, there are some respiratory diseases caused by weather problems, which are common in people living in the north and the central areas. The hospital is packed, no surprise. Hospitals in China are open at any time without appointment and waiting, and some children will be sent to the hospital for examination by their parents after only a few coughs or diarrhea. Even if there are some common infectious diseases, they are generally controllable.

[@jsc3417]

you should search up Dr David Martin. This whole Corona Virus dates all the way back to the 70's where big pharma started researching corona virus vaccines in pigs and cows. Then in 2002, few months after the Anthrax attack, SARAS outbreak broke out in China. What followed was 10+ years of research into corona virus vaccine in humans, led by Doctor Ralph S. Baric of UNC-Chapel Hill, funded by the DoD, EcoHealth Alliance, Pfizer, etc, supported by Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, Mark Zuckerberg, and etc. COVID-19 is an attack on humanity by the billionaires blamed it on the Chinese aimed at taking down the Chinese government, so to speak.

[@maggiechan33]

@cheungchingtong AGREE. Even though I knew the the first case of Covid DID NOT occurred in Wuhan, recently an American poster wrote she contracted the illness on 11/14/19, and some of her relatives from Texas, had Covid as early as July 2019.

[@maggiechan33]

Thank you Alan and Shannon for sharing this. I am a Chinese living in the U.S, my last visit to wuhan was about 25 years ago, it’s amazing to see the big changes there. Really appreciate that you both put the effort to show the world the real China. Every country has its better and worse parts, but most of the time when you heard the western media talking about China, it got so wrong and the people believe what the “experts” saying, the worst thing is when the people talk about China in the powerful podium or in front of TV, and most of they even never being to China.

Despite the media's malice towards this city, I still want to say that Wuhan was the first city to establish this unexplained pneumonia as an infectious disease and systematically prevent it. It cannot be said that this is the birthplace of the first case. At that time, Wuhan was hosting a military sports meet with military/government personnel from many countries, and the venue was close to that market. We cannot know the specific content, but thanks to the systematic medical system, infectious diseases in China are always highly valued and immediately prevented, such as atypical pneumonia in 2003.

Several scenic spots in Wuhan: 1. East Lake. It is the largest urban lake in China, where you can cycle and run, and the scenery is very beautiful. 2. Yellow Crane Tower. It was built in the Three Kingdoms period and has a history of 1,800 years. Together with Yueyang Tower in Hunan and Tengwang Pavilion in Jiangxi, it is known as the three most famous buildings in China! 3. Jianghan Road Pedestrian Street. A great place with European style, shopping and delicious food! Wish you have a good trip!😄

[@user-lt6ke9hg8f]

The Yellow Crane Tower has been rebuilt many times in history. But there are works of art that have been handed down. The appearance of each reconstruction is somewhat different. . The current Yellow Crane Tower was rebuilt on the original site based on photos from the Qing Dynasty.

[@yijiancai1651]

As a native from Hubei Province, who had studied in Wuhan for a few years back in early 2010s, I always feel like I have many things to say about the city but also nothing to say. The main characteristics about the city, I would say there isn't much: It's an important city in history, especially in early 20s century; It's a huge transport hub at the heart of central China; it attracts people from all over the province and country to study, work and build there. That's why in my view it's always a "chaotic" place with tons of things going on at the same time. The people,the counstruction and cars were loud but I kinda enjoyed it during my college years. The metro you guys took were just started counstruction during that time(line 2). It's a place I will probably never say I like it, but I don't dislike it because it's the only large city in my area and and very necessary one. However, even in the perspectives of people in China who doesn't necessarily like the city, they definitely don't deserve the smear and attack from western media and public opinions because of covid.They did the best to keep the virus contained and the rest of China should be thankful. The later waves which hit multiple large cities ended up being way worse managed than the first wave from Wuhan, including the lockdown in Shanghai last year which was the worst wave. Unfortunately, Wuhan will be the only city that carries the name along the virus and I can only feel sad.

Hi, I'm David. I'm from Australia and I have lived in China for some years. I want to recommend to you to go to Xiamen City. Also known as Amoy. The main street there with foods and shopping centres is called Zhongshan Lu (Lu means Street). Xiamen is on the coast in Fujian Province. There is also Gu Lang Yu Island, also known as Piano Island, off the coast of Xiamen that's worth a visit. It's about a 15-minute ferry trip. There are no cars on Gu Lang Yu. Xiamen is a beautiful and ancient Chinese model City with a high quality of living.
