桥梁博物馆, 武汉桥梁博物馆 Wuhan Bridge Museum, 中国桥梁博物馆 China Bridge Museum
Opened in December 2019, this is one of Wuhan's newest museums. It's said to be China's first comprehensive museum about bridges. Has exhibitions about the history of bridge construction in China and overseas. Visitors are supposed to make an appointment before visiting. If you understand Chinese, you can make a booking on WeChat (follow '武汉桥梁博物馆' and select '约桥博').
武汉动物园
Although it is a zoo, there is more to this zoo than just animals. The zoo contains a small area of amusement park rides, and a beautiful bonsai garden. Of course, those who are interested in seeing the animals will not be disappointed, as the zoo features a Giant Panda (be aware that they occasionally take the panda out to travel to other parts of the country), red pandas, hippos, wolves, zebras, and many other popular zoo animals. No visit to this zoo would be complete without seeing one of the daily shows! Well-trained animals performing unbelievable stunts, from puppies doing tricks to bicycling bears.
归元禅寺
Built in 1658, Guiyuan Temple is known as the first zen temple to be built in Hubei Province. The most famous and impressive building in the complex is the Arhats Hall, which contains 500 arhat (Buddhist saints) statues. When you enter, from whichever part you choose to begin exploring, you are supposed to count the arhats. When you have counted to your current age, you are then supposed to write down the number above the statue that you stopped on and you can then present it to the small shop outside to purchase a golden card with your fortune, as well as a depiction of that statue. The statues inside are all quite different and intricately designed, so it's well worth the time to thoroughly explore the temple.
古琴台 Guqintai, Ancient Lute Platform
The Lute Platform is a memorial to the famous musician Yu Boya and his close friend Zhong Ziqi who lived in the State of Chu during the Spring and Autumn Period. The first platform was built during the Song Dynasty, and it has been rebuilt several times. The present structures date from the late Qing Dynasty. The nearby Qintai Grand Theatre and Qintai Concert Hall are named after this place.
张之洞与武汉博物馆
Zhang Zhidong (1837-1909) was a prominent government official during the late Qing Dynasty who was known for his advocacy of limited reforms to the Chinese imperial system and is credited with enacting reforms to the bureaucracy and helping to modernize Chinese industry. In Wuhan, he established China's first iron and steel mill, the Hanyang Iron Works. He then went on to found the Hubei Arsenal and a number of other industrial plants. In a sense, he was the father of modern Wuhan. The museum is artistically designed and great to look at even if you are not that interested in the history.
