Wuhan, China


This picture was taken from my friend’s apartment in Wuhan. The street we’re looking out over is called Wu Luo Lu; Wu stands for Wuhan, Luo stands for the Luojia Mountain, and Lu means “road.” The interesting thing about this road is that it’s one access point to the bridge crossing over the Yangtze River, so traffic becomes heavy at times. It’s also interesting because it looks quite like something you’d see in Florida, plus the huge buildings on either side.

The point is that this doesn’t have to be China; it could be anywhere in the developed world, and that’s what people outside of China don’t know. Most of the people I know in America still think China is basically farmland and small villages, and they don’t realize that the city I live in is just as dense and developed as a city like NY or Chicago.
