Question

Hi! we are a team of 15 students coming to Wuhan for the Total Solar Eclipse expedition. I would like to know the best possible open sites in Wuhan for observing & conducting some experiments during this eclipse. We'll be in Wuhan from 19th-23rd July.Does it rain too much in July, what sort of clothing would you advise.Also I would like to know the frequency of buses & trains from Wuhan to Shanghai, cost & time required for the journey...Please do advise me.Thank You!!

Wuhan is made up of Hankou, Wuchang and Hanyang. You can go to Hankou and watch the solar eclipse on the area along the Yangtze River, called Jiang Tan (汉口江滩） in Chinese. July is usually very hot. Sometimes, it rains, but not very frequently. You should prepare some clothes for summer.Within a day, there are three bullet trains from Hankou Railway station to Shanghai at 07:55, 11:17 and 17:07. Although Wuchang Railway Station also provides trains to Shanghai, the trains are not fast. So, I suggest you choose Hankou Railway Station. Only more than 5 hours is spent by bullet train.The bullet train ticket costs CNY304/ CNY254. You are suggested to purchase the train tickets in advance.

Hello !I'm currently in Suzhou, and would like to get to Wuhan as quickly as possible to see the eclipse there. Weather forecast is much better for Wuhan.How do i get from Suzhou to Wuhan ? Or even better to Hankou as suggested for eclipse wachting(Came here  from PVG by bus)

Mr.James · Answer

Take Airport Bus to Shanghai Railway Station to catch the bullet trains to Hankou. I do not know your time to be in PVG. There are four trains: D3002 (6：42-12：21)， D3006(14:06-16:59), D3010 (15:59-21:02) and D3014 (16:38-22:43). If you miss them, just take flight to Wuhan from Shanghai directly.
