Using Wuhan's river crossing as part of a city route
Check the current public-ferry wharf and schedule on the day, then combine one crossing with Yellow Crane Tower instead of treating every boat as the same service.
Ferry versus cruise
Wuhan has public ferry services and separate sightseeing cruises. Confirm the wharf, fare and type of service before boarding.
Yellow Crane Tower
The tower sits on the Wuchang side and provides a clear orientation point for the Yangtze and the historic three-town geography of Wuhan.
Weather and payment
River services can change with weather or operating notices. Keep a metro or taxi backup and carry both mobile payment and some RMB cash.
