It was built in 1917 for the Nanyang Brothers Tobacco Company. From January to September 1927, the building served as the seat of power for the Wuhan Nationalist Government, a government led by a left-wing faction of the Nationalist Party (Kuomintang), which briefly operated independently of Chiang Kai-Shek's government. A museum on the 3rd floor of the building explains the history.
The Wuhan government of the Republic of China, was established by the left-wing of the Kuomintang in Wuhan following the capture of the city during the Northern Expedition. The government was eventually dissolved and reconciled with the Nanjing faction after the Kuomintang's purge of Chinese Communist Party members and the conclusion of the Nanjing–Wuhan split.

吉庆街, 吉庆民俗街 Jiqing Folk Street
An ordinary-seeming street by day, becomes transformed by night into a bewildering maze of streetside restaurants and buskers performing music, dance, opera and stand-up comedy. It is a strongly-recommended experience. Food is plentiful and cheap, and it features a lot of unique local cuisine. The performances can be enjoyed by proxy as performers work other tables or they can be purchased. One can expect to pay about ¥10 per song performed. Other performances are more based on contributions—the more you contribute, the longer the performers will do their routines and the more daring/interesting/funny the routines will be.
