Hello my name is Zhu. Wuhan is a 3,500 year old city with tons of history. I will be exploring the Yangtze from Wuhan to Nanjing. Wuhan is one of the most ancient cities. Cui Hao ( poet in the Tang dynasty) visited wuhan in 800AC. It is 838.6 km from wuhan to shanghai. I will be traveling by boat. I am excited to explore the many cultures and great nature of this amazing region. The first city i'll be exploring is jiujiang. This great city literally means “nine rivers”. Jiujiang was a capital of many states. It was stuck right between Wu and Chu. jiujiang was also known as jiangzhou or Xunyang in earlier time periods. It was a little later a great source of tea trade. The next city i am going to is Hefei. It is a place with many tiny states. It is an important trading center. The tang dynasty said that the fei river off of hefei came from jiming mountain 20 Li away (Li is chinese miles). Hefei is known for its treasures from the three kingdoms times. The tang dynasty beat the han dynasty in a war and ruled for many centuries. After boating for many hours and exploring the rich history of the yangtze river i was ready to go hit the hay and sleep in till ten. After a huge day of adventuring through Hefei and Wuhan i am definitely tired. Goodnight to anyone reading this.
