It's amazing to see such natural diversity in such a tiny island.
The best way to travel within the island is to take the Ring High-speed Railway.
The price is quite cheap, and the scenery (some sections by the sea) is top-notch.
(46:30, introduction of this HSR)

Big city Tieling! I oppose, it's farther away from Hubei.

Big city Tieling! I oppose, it's farther away from Hubei.

Hubei is in the very centre, should have the capital.

Hubei is in the very centre, should have the capital.

In geography, Hubei is not in centre. We can't compete with Henan, they have more population, means they can make louder voices.

Okay, Wuhan becomes independent municipality, and some city or village in western Hubei is chosen as National Kapital.

Okay, Wuhan becomes independent municipality, and some city or village in western Hubei is chosen as National Kapital.

Wuhan City is in fact three cities merging together.
Hankou should be restored to Hankou Municipality directly controlled by Central Government as in history.
