    So many exhibits including a large area devoted to dinosaurs and China's pre-historic period. Probably need two days to see everything comfortably.

    Electric bus route 910 from Wuchang Railway station takes 43 bus stops and we'll over 75 rather uncomfortable minutes to reach the Warship Memorial Area: It is well worth it!
    The Warship is housed in a specially designed building allowing views from different levels and then there are the galleries exhibiting many of the smaller relics unearthed during the recovery.
    The lake and park surrounding have been well thought out and contain other items appertaining to the Japanese war and a large symbolic memorial adorns the nearby hilltop.
    The only criticism is that the recovery and restoration are not shown by visual method nor is there any DVD for purchase- instead a rather esoteric and irrelevant collection of knick knack are available for purchase.
    For those without transport Uber will serve the site....and there is always the 910 bus to return

    Visit Wuhan a lot and always visit this riverside park. Relaxing with great views of the river. Great place for kite flying or just relaxing in the shade of this nicely landscaped park. Many restaurants and bars close by to cool off during the hot summer. There are carts that can also take you on a ride down the park. Highly recommend this attraction. You will not be disappointed.

    With this being the 70th anniversary of the founding of present-day China, I came here for my history lesson. Nice choice...

    Well, this is not a very exiting place for the visiting tourists. But, if you are staying in Wuhan for few days, and if you have kids, then they are definitely going to love it. Not even close to the one in Shanghai, but big enough for the kids to enjoy. It is a three stories large building. Each floor has 2 sections. Closes at 4:30 PM. So, you are suggested to enter by 2pm. There is a moderate que for the tickets, but you don't need to pay for the tickets (but need to show your passport).

    Built on the site of Hanyang's old iron- and steel-works, this museum commemorates reforming Viceroy Zhang Zhidong at the end of the imperial period. In the late 19th century Zhang reformed industry, trade and education and was open to incorporating Western ideas.

    This museum makes few concessions to non-Chinese speakers, so I was fortunate to have a translator. I still didn't understand everything, especially the long documentary film. It was a complex time in Chinese history, particularly the aftermath of the first Sino-Japanese war. But the modern museum (opened 2018) is spectacular and there are many interesting photos of Wuhan's industrial past. Much of the early machinery was imported from Europe, and Wuhan was an important point of contact with the West at the end of the 19th century.

    To be honest, I don't know exactly where the museum is as we came by taxi, but I believe it is on the south bank of the Hanshui River.

    Well worth a visit!

    Museum might be too grand a word to describe the place but we were entertained for an hour. Also this is one of the few places in China where you can see this side of Chinese culture so it was worth visiting. Went here in March 2019 and this review is mainly to say this place is still open and to help with some extra directions.

    To get there: take line 2 to Fanhu station and head South down Qingnian lu, the museum's on the righthand side. The museum was a bit difficult to find. One of the other reviewers posted a photo of the building which was helpful, but there were no signs anywhere outside the building. The entrance is through the Little Swan hotel (小天鹅宾馆). Go through the lobby and go left through some doors, continue straight on and go up the stairs to the left, it's on the first floor. At the top of the stairs go right and you'll find what looks like an office, but is actually the entrance to the museum.
