Zhonghua Road Wharf

Gateway to the Yangtze River's Wuhan Scenery
Zhonghua Road Wharf

Zhonghualu Wharf is located in Wuhan City. The completion of the bridge did not lead to the abolition of the ferry service. Over the years, it has still been transporting passengers coming from all directions. Taking the ferry from Zhongshan Road Wharf in Wuchang, you can directly reach Jianghan Road Pedestrian Street in Hankou within half an hour.

To cooperate with the renovation project of the port wharves in the core areas of the Yangtze River and the Han River, in accordance with the requirements of the overall plan, the company has integrated the existing 16 passenger wharves within the core area into 6, and carried out overall optimization, renovation and upgrading. Several wharves, including Hanyangmen Wharf, have been integrated with Zhonghualu Wharf, and have been renamed. Therefore, the name of Zhonghualu Wharf has been changed to Zhonghualu No.1 Wharf.
