Features: In Wuhan, we can sit on the river embankment, gazing at the clouds over the Guishan and Sheshan mountains, and listening to the roaring flow of the Yangtze River. There are also beautiful legends like the White Cloud and Yellow Crane, and elegant allusions like Qingchuan in Hanyang and Orchid Isle with fragrant grass. Although they are separated from us by several hundred or even a thousand years, don’t you feel they are as close as right here and now? The poem says, "At sunset, where does one go home? The misty waves on the river make one sorrowful." This poem was written from the Yellow Crane Tower. At this time of dusk, reading such verses, don’t you feel that our hearts and yours are all connected to the heart of the poem?
