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.

武汉达临性学博物馆
One of the very few sex museums in China. Founded by Liu Dalin, a sexology professor from Shanghai University. Displays a wide variety of erotic artefacts from China's past.
武汉国民政府旧址
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.
武汉美术馆
The museum is housed inside the former Jincheng Bank, a neoclassical building that dates from the 1930s. The building was used as a military headquarters by the Japanese during their occupation of the city in World War II.
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.
