day 31

Today's destination: Hubei art museum and Hubei Park(Dong Hu).

Hubei Provincial Museum (Chinese: 湖北省博物) is one of the best-known museums in China, with a large amount of State-level historic and cultural relics. Established in 1953, Hubei Provincial Museum is a crucial regional museum in China and the biggest comprehensive museum in the province, located on the bank of the East Lake. It houses most precious and important artefacts’ of Hubei. Abundant unearthed heritages of the Qu Jia Ling Culture and Warring States Period are especially prominent. Since 1999 a number of new buildings have been added.

Spoiling Meixiu's Photo is FUN! (amanda has the best pose!) (:

According to what the tour guide told us was that during summer when the temperature can be as high as 45 degrees, many local will go to the Hubei Park /Dong Hu to “cool” or chill out.
coke we took when we went to the CoCa CoLa factory! :D
Reflection:
In Singapore, the weather is always around 30 degrees and above and the common place where people will cool themselves is in some air-conditioned area. However, in China, Wuhan, it is interesting that they do not stay indoors with their air conditioned on but instead they like spending time outside by the lakeside to enjoy the natural cool breeze. But it is understandable why Singaporeans do not wish do go out in such warm weather is because in Singapore there’s no lake with cool breeze, as even the breeze from the beach is warm and humidity is so high.
