Oligo to Central China
Eyes on Chu skies, inked rivers of Xiang; Shaolin bells echo on Songshan, Wudang veiled in mist. Porcelain forged by fire, spice blazing across the land — a thousand years of legends meet in verse.
Some numbers about
Central China
Main cities

Wuhan
A city where rivers meet and legends linger — where the Yangtze and Han rivers converge to nourish a land of grit, flavor, and poetic mystery. Rooted in ancient tales and literary dreams, this is the home of Yellow Crane Tower, immortalized by generations of poets. And in Wuhan, no morning begins without a breakfast feast — it’s not just a meal, it’s a ritual.

Changsha
Changsha, the capital of Hunan, is where 1,000 years of history meet the pulse of modern life. Known for its fiery cuisine, revolutionary past, and nightlife that never sleeps, this is a city where happiness takes center stage. People queue for milk tea by day and pack Jiefang West at 2 a.m. — living life like it’s a never-ending variety show.

Zhengzhou
Zhengzhou, located at the geographical heart of China, is both the ancient capital of the Shang Dynasty and the high-speed rail hub of modern China. Beneath the city lie 3,600 years of history; above, bullet trains race toward the future. As a transportation nexus, Zhengzhou is the perfect base for a “Golden Triangle” journey with Luoyang and Kaifeng.
About more information on Central China?
Central China rises at the heart of the Yangtze River, where ancient bronze civilizations once flourished and today’s high-speed rail lines converge.
Wuhan’s Yangtze River Bridge stretches like a steel rainbow across its three historic towns, while the sandstone spires of Zhangjiajie pierce the clouds like a floating mountain dream. The weathered walls of Xiangyang still bear the scars of Three Kingdoms-era battles, and in Changsha, the gossamer silk robes of Lady Dai from Mawangdui have defied two thousand years of time.
From hearty lotus root and pork rib stew by Dongting Lake to Henan’s hand-pulled noodles in rich lamb broth, this region is a feast of both culture and cuisine. Wudang Mountain awakens in morning mist with the slow, flowing movements of tai chi, while Zhengzhou’s “rice-grain” rail hub pulses with the rhythm of modern China. Here, the fierce beauty of bronze relics meets the velocity of fiber-optic speed.
Cruise downstream to see the crimson leaves of the Three Gorges blaze across the cliffs, or zip through Hunan and Hubei on the Shanghai-Chengdu high-speed railway. One moment you’re listening to deer calls in the primordial forests of Shennongjia — the next, swept up in the electric glow of Changsha’s Liberation West Road nightlife.
