Wuhan Travel Notes | A very happy trip

October 17, 2022 Rain | Wuhan is great. I love Wuhan!

Although this trip to Wuhan was mostly in quarantine and I didn’t get to have a good walk around. I didn’t see the Yellow Crane Tower, I didn’t go to Liangdao Street, and I didn’t see King Gou Jianjian of Yue, I was still very happy. A "trip" ~

Why do you say happy? The main reason is that you are happy eating! After getting off the train, I went to where I was staying to put down my luggage and went out to look for food. I first bought taro paste tiger skin rolls and coconut milk cubes at the "Chu Han Su Li" downstairs.

 

Next, I kept looking along the road and ordered a bowl of tripe noodles. After eating, I continued walking around and went to a nearby shopping mall. When I got to the first floor of the shopping mall, I found that they were all delicious. I blamed myself for eating too early. ! I had to go to the Sisyphus Bookstore inside.

I arrived at Chayanyuese by accident, and the surrounding areas of Chayanyuese are very good! It was the first time I saw the surroundings of a milk tea shop, and I couldn't help but walk around inside for a long time.

Before I transferred anything, a call came from the Epidemic Command Center. A confirmed person was found on the train I was riding on, so I was told to quarantine at home for 3 days. After completing 2 tests in 3 days, I could go out.

The takeaway I ordered during the past 3 days was also delicious! Baguette sandwich, mango sticky rice, red bean thick milk dorayaki, and Chu Han Suli tiger skin taro rolls, I bought them again~

It was my first time to eat mango sticky rice. The glutinous rice was replaced by purple rice, sweet and sour mango, glutinous small balls, sweet but not greasy pudding, and oh yes, there is also sago. These combinations are so good. eat!

The 16-yuan Dorayaki is indeed different from the ones sold in supermarkets. The bagged Dorayaki is very sweet, but this one is slightly sweet, not too greasy, with the fragrance of red beans and the denseness of the thick layer of milk. Enjoy every bite you take~

No matter where I go, I still like braised chicken hahaha. I feel that braised chicken is the food that you can’t go wrong with. The braised chicken in any city is delicious, and the one in Wuhan is no exception, and it’s spicy enough. !

 

I have ordered a lot of other takeaways in the past two days, but none of Wuhan's specialties. I have always wanted to try "Lotus Root Pork Ribs Soup", but before I could try it, I was sent to quarantine for a day.

 

Due to policy changes, the 3-day quarantine became "5+2" days. I was supposed to go to a hotel for centralized quarantine, but there were no rooms in the hotel. On the last day, there were rooms in the hotel, so I was taken to the hotel for centralized quarantine.

 

In total, I was quarantined for one night and one day, and came out again the next day. The quarantine meal was not only plentiful but also super delicious!

 

I don’t like eating vegetables very much, but I like to eat every dish in this quarantine meal because it is really delicious!

The end of the centralized quarantine means that I am about to go back to school. On the morning of the 8th, the itinerary code disappeared and the health code turned back to green. I went downstairs to eat the hot dry noodles that I had been craving for, and packed a raw meal across the street. Fried buns.

 

"Soup noodle" looks like a very special and strange noodle from the name, but after eating it, I can't tell what's special about it, but it also tastes different from other noodles, ordinary but not ordinary.

 

When I was shopping in Tanhualin, I saw a stall selling "wheel cakes". I have always wanted to try wheel cakes. It looks like a food I love very much. Sure enough, wheel cakes are delicious. I Love it!

 

On the morning before I left, I ate hot dry noodles from another restaurant. This one was even better. I felt so satisfied after eating it, but at the same time I was a little reluctant to leave.

 

If there is nothing else, I really want to stay a few more days and eat some Wuhan special food, next time, I must eat it next time!

 

Every time I go to a place, I have to buy postcards and other cultural and creative products. I found the place "Tan Hualin" on Xiaohongshu, and I went there the day after the quarantine ended.

I went to several stores and bought many different postcards. The store in the picture is "Tan Linxuan". After paying, the cashier girl gave me a hand-painted postcard from their store.

 

After writing the postcard to send, I started looking for the post office on the 9th, but I ignored the fact that many post offices were not open on Sunday, so I traveled a lot.

 

At first, I found the nearest post office and found that the door was not open. I was still cursing the navigation system in my mind. Why did I need to guide the post office when it was not open? I changed the destination to a post office called "China Post", but when I walked there, I found that it was there. It's a place where express packages are processed...

 

I had no choice but to change my destination. Finally I arrived and found that the door was still closed. At this time, I saw the sign at the door and realized that today was a Sunday and closed.

But I couldn't wait until it was open on Monday, because I had to leave on Monday morning, so I looked for a post office that was open on Sunday, and I really found one, so I headed there again, and finally sent the postcard!

 

I walked more than 20,000 steps to find the post office that day. I checked the Little Red Book in the evening and found that today is "World Post Day" . I suddenly felt that it was so coincidental and magical, and it felt like "somewhere in the dark" It feels like I did these things without knowing it and spent this festival in my own way.

 

So why is the post office not working today? It’s a festival!

 

I gathered a few chapters in Tanhualin, bought a lot of postcards, and sent them to good friends. For me, my "mission" in Wuhan was completed~

 

However, because many post offices are closed on Sundays, I still have a lot of stamps that I want to collect but haven’t yet. I hope I have the chance.

 

But what’s worth mentioning this time is that I sent myself several postcards, and it’s a different feeling when I receive the postcards I sent.

 

 

Although I didn’t stay in Wuhan for a long time and didn’t have much fun this time, I was still very happy and liked Wuhan very much and I liked the people here even more.

 

On the morning before I left, when I was preparing to do nucleic acid tests on the first floor, the person who scanned the QR code asked me if I was a "bian xx". I said yes, and she said I guessed it was you hahaha.

 

I also realized that this must be Sister Yang, the grid worker in charge of my community recently. When I went out after doing the nucleic acid test, I happily said goodbye to her, and she waved with a smile.

 

In the past two days, due to some matters related to isolation, I have to send nucleic acid results to Sister Yang every day and ask her some questions about the health code and isolation. Sister Yang has always been patient in answering me, and she also calms my emotions, because there are I get a little impatient when...

 

In a strange city, connecting with local community members, if it is a less friendly person, coupled with the sudden isolation, I may be a little overwhelmed, but not this time.

 

In general, although I spent almost all of this time in isolation, I didn’t go to many scenic spots, didn’t eat delicious food, and didn’t do many things, it was still a very happy trip.

 

And this time I didn’t do any planning in advance. I experienced an aimless trip. I walked and stopped along the streets, eating and watching while walking. In this relaxed and comfortable state, no one in this city knew me. I don’t need to care about anything, I don’t need to think about it, I just feel the moment.
