About this experience
Wuhan's breakfast culture (过早 'guo zao') is recognized by UNESCO as Intangible Cultural Heritage. Hubu Alley (户部巷) is the most famous breakfast street in the city, a 150-meter lane lined with stalls that wake up before dawn and run out by mid-morning. This 3-hour tour times your arrival for the breakfast peak and walks you through 10 stops including the iconic Wuhan hot dry noodles (热干面 — the city's signature dish), lotus root patties, doupi rice-meat-vegetable pancakes, egg wine, three-fresh wontons, and several seasonal stalls.
Your guide explains the technique behind hot dry noodles' impossible texture — the noodles are pre-cooked, oiled, air-dried, then refreshed in boiling water with sesame paste, vinegar, and chili oil.
