Although Tanhualin is often talked about by many people in Wuhan, it is a must-visit place for friends coming to Wuhan. It is a place that artsy girls like Chaomei must visit. Taking photos, strolling around, or sitting in a café to enjoy the afternoon, just thinking about this place makes Chaomei's artistic cells come alive.
Mei Qiqi and Her Desserts
This shop has a rather whimsical decor, which the staff said was personally designed by the owner because she loves eating various desserts. It's a nice place to sit down, listen to music, eat desserts, and chat about life. You might as well give it a try when you pass by, as the prices are reasonable. Of course, there are also many popular shops here, such as Dashui's Shop, Xu Daodao and Her Dorayaki, and 188 Branches, all of which are great for taking photos!
Xu Jiu
This is a popular store selling Japanese-style clothing. There are only two physical stores nationwide; the first one is in Suzhou, and this one in Wuhan has been open for less than two months. The clothes inside make fashion-forward girls' hearts go biubiubiu with excitement. According to the staff, the clothes here are updated simultaneously with the online store. Friends who like the literary style should not miss it! Their cute kitty is very playful and can be entertained while your friend is changing clothes (you play with it unilaterally).
Liangdao Street
Liangdao Street looks short, but it is full of hidden gems. Its status as a popular street should not be underestimated. Especially some small and beautiful trendy shops, which hold up half of the street's charm.
Cao Cao Ji
The shop is small, but the decor is bright and fresh. The tablecloths, utensils, wall paintings... every little thing exudes an artistic vibe. When you come here, all you want to do is take photos! With a drink in hand, you can easily spend an entire afternoon here. The best part is you don't have to worry about your phone running out of battery because there are sockets next to the seats, and the thoughtful shop even provides charging cables. It's really a perfect place to relax.
Blue Lorraine Pastry
The store environment is not eye-catching, so don't expect to come here for photos. The main reason recommended by the trendy girl is that their desserts are very good, mainly for takeout. So, if you are looking for ambiance, you might be slightly disappointed. You can clearly see various desserts and cakes in the transparent refrigerated cabinet, with prices ranging from 6 to 18 yuan. The mille-feuille and puffs are the best-selling items in the store, starting to be sold after 12 noon every day and usually sold out by around 4 or 5 in the afternoon. Remember this.
Onion's Home
This is the only shop on Liangdao Street that sells small trinkets and accessories. The overall style of the shop leans towards a nostalgic vibe. The shop is filled with various small items and accessories... there are so many kinds. However, the space is really cramped. The prices are very affordable, with some items costing just a few yuan, while others are priced at tens or hundreds of yuan. The small trinkets are quite nice. The shop updates its inventory twice a week, which is quite frequent, so you can often find new things when you visit.
Mojie Cafe
This century-old house, polished by time, is filled with old items collected from various places. Combined with the aroma of coffee in the air, it feels like a time travel back to the old days in an instant. Here, the focus is on tasting coffee, and among them, the cappuccino is the signature of Mojie Cafe. Regulars even call it 'the best cappuccino in Wuhan.' In addition, there is drip coffee, featuring freshly roasted single-origin coffee, with beans from many different regions to choose from. You can also buy it to take home, which is very convenient.
Qingchang Cafe
This is a cafe owned by the well-known emotional writer Ai Xiaoyang. She spends most of her time in the cafe writing, so there is a high chance of meeting her. What sets Qingchang Cafe apart from other cafes in Wuhan is the abundance of books inside. Some are Ai Xiaoyang's own books, including rare and treasured editions; others are brought in by patrons who have adopted the bookshelves. In addition to serving coffee, the cafe also hosts various salons and book sharing sessions from time to time, inviting writers and experts from various fields to share their insights.
For you Korean Private Kitchen
This is a shop where everything is pink, pink, and more pink. The owner is a very talkative Korean oppa who speaks fluent Chinese. All the decor and the choice of accessories in the shop are his own work. The shop serves common Korean dishes such as soybean paste soup, bibimbap, barbecue, and spicy chicken noodles. Although these are not rare dishes, the sauces for each dish are made by the owner, giving them a unique taste that you can't find elsewhere! Since the shop is managed by the owner alone and all the dishes are made to order, some ingredients are limited. So, remember to book online in advance to avoid long waits.
Kou Kou Yi Chuan Chuan
Ever since trying this skewer place, both Chao Mei and Qi Qi can't stop thinking about it. The shop is not big, so the variety of dishes is limited. The owner personally buys common ingredients, and once they're sold out, that's it. Kou Kou Yi's skewers are made with particularly generous portions, with large chunks of meat that are fresh and tender. The beef is perfectly cooked, not tough or dry, tender and smooth, spicy but not overwhelming, without a strong MSG taste. Upon careful tasting, there's a hint of sweetness. Even without dipping in other condiments, it's very delicious. Chao Mei simply can't stop eating.
No. 8 Chinese Restaurant
This Chinese restaurant has been open for more than 2 years. It is not large in size, but it is well-equipped. The dishes are mostly home-cooked meals, and the ingredients are bought fresh every morning. The owner personally prepares and cooks the food, which has a Hubei flavor. The restaurant also sells beer, mostly imported, such as German Paulaner, Paulaner Dark Beer, and Belgian White Bear. It is quite popular among the local residents.
Jia Yi Sweet Soup
The sweet soup shop is indeed tiny, but it has been open on this street for 4 years and has also opened several branches in other parts of Wuhan. As for the sweet soup in this shop, it is different from Guangdong sweet soup; it has a more Han-style flavor.
