Chu River Han Street

Republic-of-China-era style commercial street (built by Wanda, 1.5km along the Chu River), Madame Tussauds (Wuhan). Laid along the man-made "Chu River" canal, this 1.5-km street of Republic-era architecture uses red-brick exposed walls and gray sculpted gatehouses to recreate the street feel of old Hankou—a landmark "culture + commerce" project of Wuhan CBD's East Lake district; international brands and local time-honored shops coexist, with the Han Show Theatre and Madame Tussauds (Wuhan) anchoring the two ends of the street. After dark, the lights on both banks and sightseeing boats together form a "floating commercial street" scene, ideal for a post-dinner stroll; sharing one circuit with the Hubei Provincial Museum and the East Lake Cherry Blossom Garden, it's shopping on rainy days and greenway walks on sunny ones—Chu River Han Street is the commercial node of the East Lake route.
