Reviewed 2026-09-19 · Conditions and policies can change

Direct answer

The main mistakes are underestimating travel time, ignoring seasonal conditions and trying to cover every highlight in too little time. Build the itinerary around a few priorities and verify operational details before arrival.

What to know

  • Hubei Museum: see the Marquis Yi of Zeng bell set (2,400 years old)
  • Cherry blossoms at Wuhan University are late March — book hotels early
  • East Lake is huge — rent a bike
