Central China's Hubei province is the cradle of the ancient Chu culture, and a place with rich tourism resources and profound cultural heritage.

There are many rivers there, including the magnificent Yangtze River, and the long, clear and rippling Han River.

It's home to UNESCO World Heritage Sites such as Shennongjia National Park, an ancient building complex in Wudang Mountain and the Xianling Mausoleum of the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644).

It's also known for mouthwatering delicacies such as Wuchang fish, steamed pork, hot dry noodles and crayfish - a summer must-try .
