Hubei is a central Chinese province straddling the middle reaches of the Yangtze River, known as the 'Province of a Thousand Lakes' and 'Nine Provinces Thoroughfare' for its role as China's inland transport crossroads. Home to the Three Gorges Dam, the sacred Wudang Mountains, the mysterious Shennongjia rainforest, and the buzzing riverside metropolis of Wuhan, Hubei blends Chu-dynasty history, Taoist heritage, and modern engineering on the banks of China's longest river.
