East Lake a very large lake in the Wuchang district of Wuhan, that is a full blown park/attaction. This was my 4th visit in 4 years. It is amazing the changes that have been made.

Way oversold, but once you've seen Wuhan, you understand why this is a major attraction. Wuhan is crowded, dirty, polluted, but quite liveable in an odd sort of way.
