上海路天主堂 Shanghai Road Catholic Church
Wuhan's oldest and largest Catholic church. It was designed by an Italian missionary by the name of Angelus Vaudagna and completed in 1876.
汉口江滩
Note the tall monument which, from far away, appears to be a monument to Mao Zedong, but which actually commemorates Wuhan's complicated relationship with its great river. Erected in 1969, it's inscribed with Mao's poem "Swimming" (which not only celebrates the Yangtze in Wuhan, but also foresees the creation of the mighty hydro dams farther upstream), and decorated with reliefs depicting the citizens fighting the flood of 1954.
汉口东正教堂 Hankou Orthodox Church
Founded in 1876 to serve the local Russian community. In 1891, Russian prince Nicholas II (who would later become the last tsar of Russia) visited Wuhan and provided funding for the rebuilding of the church, which was completed in 1893. It is the oldest surviving Russian Orthodox church in China. As of late 2024, it hosts a photo exhibition summing up the history of Chinese–Russian tea trade, carefully explained in Mandarin and Russian (but no English).
