【Hubei】Wuhan East Lake

East Lake, Wuhan’s "green heart," is six times larger than West Lake. Cycle lakeside paths, ride the East Lake Eye Ferris wheel, or visit Cherry Blossom Garden (10,000 trees) in spring. The Hubei Provincial Museum houses ancient bells and King Goujian’s sword.

• Urban Oasis: Asia's largest metropolitan lake (33km² water area) comprises Tingtao, Moshan, Luoyan, and Chuidi zones. Spring cherry blossoms frame Tang-style pavilions; autumn paints Moshan in red; lakeside cycling ranks among "world's top greenways"
