About
Ezhou is a historic city in eastern Hubei Province, China, lying along the Yangtze River. It is the kind of place that suits a visitor who wants to see a river city away from the largest tourist routes, with its ancient sites and traditional architecture as the main reasons to stop. The city is also known by its Chinese name, 鄂州.
What to expect
- Ancient sites that give the city its long historical character.
- Traditional architecture that you can explore on foot, at a relaxed pace.
- River setting, with the Yangtze shaping the city's position and atmosphere.
Because Ezhou is a city rather than a single attraction, the visit is best planned as a short stay in which you move between sites and neighbourhoods. The traditional buildings and the riverside are the parts most worth giving time to.
Planning your visit
Ezhou sits in eastern Hubei, so it works well as a stop within a wider journey through the province along the Yangtze. Visitors interested in historic Chinese towns will find it a useful addition to a route that combines older architecture with river scenery. Check current arrangements for getting around and for visiting individual sites before you travel, since these can change.
