武汉达临性学博物馆

中山公园
One of China's oldest modern parks. It was established in 1910 as a private garden and brought into public ownership in 1927. Shortly afterwards, it was renamed Zhongshan Park in memory of Sun Yat-Sen, founder of China's first republic. The park features a number of old pavilions, bridges and other structures from the early 20th century. In the middle of the park is a statue of Sun Yat-Sen and his wife Song Qingling. On the left side of the statue is a building where Japanese forces stationed in Hubei formally surrended to the Chinese government in 1945. That building is now a museum dedicated to the event. There is a small amusement park on the northern side of the park.

武汉园博园
This is a large (a mile across) exhibition grounds on Wuhan's northwestern outskirts. Constructed from scratch on the site of a former landfill, it opened in the fall of 2015 for the 10th China (Wuhan) International Garden Expo (2015年第十届中国（武汉）国际园林博览会). There are two large exhibition buildings on site; at the time (Nov 2015) one has a garden expo running, the other has exhibits from the collections of various museums (jade carvings, coins, furniture, porcelain, etc.) The rest of the grounds are landscaped, divided into a hundred or so themed sections: a dozen or so dedicated to various foreign countries, the rest, to various cities of China. Overall, although the landscaping is nice, one can visit plenty of similarly nice landscaped sites for free (or for a nominal admission fee) elsewhere in Wuhan, in city parks or on university campuses. The most crowded place at the site seems to be the huge, but rather overpriced cafeteria (which is also divided into themed sections, dedicated to various regions' cuisine). Many visitors choose to bring their own snacks - there are plenty of benches around the site for picnicking! The expo ended in May 2016, but the garden remains open to visitors.
