My Trip to WUHAN!!!: First Chinese Culture Lecture

Al of us are really tired today!!! Cause we only reached back Wuchang around 11.10pm and our lecture today started at 8.30am. It’s our first Chinese culture lecture today. Our lecturer, Caroline, taught us about the history of both Hubei and Wuhan. Here are some basic facts that I learnt today:

11. Hubei is known as the Province of a Thousand Lakes as it has a large number of lakes

22. Wuhan is the capital city of Hubei

33. Wuhan is known as River City

44. Wuhan has a population of 9 million

55. Wuhan comprimises of Wuchang, Hankou & Hanyang

66. Hubei is rich in agricultutrre, fishery, forestry and hydropower resources

77. Hubei’s main industries are iron, steel, power & automobiles

88. Wuhan is the largest city in Central China

99. Hubei is home to many famous important people such as Qu Yuan, the first greatest patriotic poet, Zhuge Liang, a famous politician and strategist and Wang Zhaojun, one of the four beauties in Chinese ancient history.

The list goes on but I don’t think I’d be able to post all of it. Both Wuhan and Hubei are home to many of Chinese ancient history. It is known as the birthplace of the Chu culture and also known for freshwater fish. The Chinese culture lecture today gave me an insight of Wuhan and Hubei’s history and culture.

So for lunch, we decided to try out some local snacks from the library canteen. I bought a pork sausage wrapped in bread and in the brad was a spicy, curry-like radish. It was nice but not so filling so I bought mixed rice for lunch. Later at night my teammates; Tricia, Nazhifah, Irfanah and Rachel and myself started discussing about our forensic science project. We have to come up with a crime scene for another group to solve it. We were all quite excited to come up with ideas for our crime scene. For dinner, I decided to have fast food. The China KFC it was again!!! Shrimp burger, fries and pepsi.
