Wuhan. A city most people remember for one reason. But what does it actually look like in 2025?

In this video, we travel to Wuhan to see what has changed since the start of the global pandemic. We visit local landmarks, walk through crowded streets, explore food markets, and talk about the everyday experience of being in a place still surrounded by questions. Along the way, we reflect on the contrast between global perception and lived reality.

From payment struggles to unexpected encounters, the video captures personal moments and observations. It is not about blame or conclusions. It is about seeing things for yourself.

We also touch on the bigger questions. How does the past linger in a city that wants to move on? What happens when the headlines fade but the place remains?

This is not a documentary. It is not a report. It is a quiet look at a place that has meant many things to many people. Sometimes surprising, sometimes strange, sometimes just normal.

If you are curious about what Wuhan feels like today, this video offers a perspective you probably haven’t seen before.

About Wuhan (from Wikipedia):
Wuhan is the capital of Hubei, China. With a population of over eleven million, it is the most populous city in Hubei and the eighth-most-populous city in China. It is also one of China's nine national central cities.

Wuhan historically served as a busy city port for commerce and trading with some crucial influences on Chinese history. The name "Wuhan" came from the city's historical origin from the conglomeration of Wuchang, Hankou, and Hanyang, which are collectively known as the "Three Towns of Wuhan" (武汉三镇). Wuhan lies in the eastern Jianghan Plain, at the confluence of the Yangtze river and its largest tributary, the Han River, and is known as "Nine Provinces' Thoroughfare" (九省通衢). Wuhan was the site of the 1911 Wuchang Uprising against the Qing dynasty which ended 2,000 years of dynastic rule. Wuhan was briefly a capital of China twice, in 1927 under a left wing Kuomintang (KMT) government, and in 1937 as a provisional wartime capital during World War II. In 1938, during the Second Sino-Japanese War, the city was the site of the Battle of Wuhan. On December 31, 2019, SARS-CoV-2, a novel coronavirus that later caused the COVID-19 pandemic, was first discovered in Wuhan and the city was the location of the first lockdown of the pandemic in January 2020.
