The Yellow Crane Tower



Yesterday, four of my new colleagues and I went to Wuhan's landmark, the Yellow Crane Tower.  From the top, we could see a good chunk of Wuhan.  The view was spectacular.  But the view from each floor's balcony was the same, so by the time we got to the top, it was just the same old view from the balcony below.

Before ascending the tower, we walked around the area surrounding the tower.  We ate at a Mama-Papa hole-in-the-wall restaurant in what seemed to be a back alley of a residential area.  We were walking down that road when a woman came out of a side door and beckoned us to come in.  We did.  I don't think any one of us regret the decision.

We had a large bowl of rice, vegetable noodle soup, and a spicy ji rou (chicken) noodle dish.  Everything was great; I certainly left the place satisfied. It was 35 yuan for all 5 of us.
