Your local guide to Hubei, China

Discover Hubei like a local.

Wuhan, the Three Gorges, Enshi's canyons, Wudang's temples, Shennongjia's forest. Tell us how many days you have and what you like to eat; we plan it the way a friend from here would, then introduce you to one.

Where are you going?

Five destinations, one province, one route.

Wuhan is the door. The train takes you to the Gorges in two hours, Wudang in two, Enshi in four. Almost nobody outside China knows this route exists.

Meet a local

Not tour guides. Friends who grew up here.

University students and village hosts, vetted by GoHubei, who walk, eat and talk with you for half a day. From ¥299 for four hours; you buy the noodles.

Request a local friend

We reply within 24 hours on WhatsApp or email with a confirmed match and a meeting point.

Sample profiles shown; the first real guides are being recruited from Wuhan University, HUST, WUT, CCNU, ZUEL and Hubei University.

Eat like a local

Guozao first. Everything else second.

Wuhan doesn't eat breakfast, it 过早 — passes the morning. Tap a dish for the story, the price, and the sentence that orders it.

Before it was Hubei, it was Chu

Read one story, then go find it.

Eight hundred years of phoenix worship, bronze bells that still play, the poet who gave the world dragon boats, and how to say thank you with two fingers.

Practical

The four things that trip people up.

Visa, paying, the hotel question, and who to call. All current as of September 2026.

Do I need a visa?

Will the hotel take my passport?

Chains and 4–5 star hotels: always. Guesthouses: ask first with this card.

Who do I call?

Union Hospital and Tongji Hospital in Hankou both have international clinics with English-speaking staff.

Show cards — hand your phone to the waiter
