A City Where You Can Feel the Sea

WUHAN, CHINA – Media OutReach Newswire – 12 August 2025 – The symposium titled “Green Foundations for a Hub City” was held in Wuhan on August 6, 2025. It focused on Wuhan’s environmental efforts, particularly the integration and conservation of its abundant rivers and lakes.

Ramsar Convention Deputy Secretary-General Jay Alders, speaking at the symposium, highlighted Wuhan’s wetland conservation achievements, calling its integration of 165 rivers and 166 lakes a global benchmark. The event showcased both expert discussions inside the conference hall and vivid scenes outside, such as summer floods turning East Lake’s beaches silver and volleyball tournaments by the water, alongside submerged forests at Zhangdu Lake, reflecting the city’s deep connection to its watery environment. This setting emphasizes that in Wuhan, preserving wetlands is more than policy—it is part of embracing an oceanic spirit.

Wuhan, a city of rivers and lakes, offers a surprising encounter with the sea—right in the heart of central China. Here, it’s easy to sense the vastness of the ocean. Whether it’s rivers merging into summer-swollen inland seas, reed-filled wetlands ripping like emerald tides, golden silica beaches evoking coastal shores, or high-rise skylines like waves on the horizon, Wuhan delivers a marine-like expanse that stirs the soul. With 165 rivers and 166 lakes, water covers a full quarter of the city’s land area. This aquatic tapestry creates a sense of scale and openness that is rare for an inland urban center.

In summer, rising water levels stretch the surfaces of rivers and lakes even wider. When blue skies meet these shimmering waters, Wuhan unveils views rivalling Mediterranean seascapes—particularly at East Lake Beach, where imported sands host volleyball tournaments under coconut palms, and Moonlight Bay, where floating tiki bars serve lychee-coconut cocktails at sunset.

For Wuhan locals, “river-lake-sea” is part of their daily life. Sandy beaches, open-air bathing areas, sailing boats—you’ll find all the coastal experiences here, just without the coastline.

French traveler Élise Dubois captures the magic: “Kayaking through Zhangdu Lake’s flooded forests—fireflies dancing in jade-green canals—felt like discovering Atlantis in China’s heartland.” This is Wuhan’s paradox: a metropolis where cranes silhouette against wetland sunsets, and ferry horns sing sailors’ lullabies.

Come to Wuhan, and feel the sea—in a city shaped by water, deep in China’s heartland.

This year’s theme is Telling China’s Story Through the Art of Sculpture. The inaugural exhibition in October 2023 took the Silk Road as its cultural thread, creating a platform for dialogue. The current edition continues that mission, once again attracting artists from 20 countries. According to the organizers, the museum itself is a work of art — a sunken building transformed from an abandoned foundation pit, reflecting the Eastern aesthetic of “turning decay into magic.” It has quickly become a new landmark for the city.

Since opening in 2023, the museum has hosted two international exhibitions and seven themed shows, welcoming more than 820,000 visitors. Together with the Inner Mongolia Museum, the Inner Mongolia Art Museum, and the Grassland Silk Road Park, it forms a 5.6-kilometer “cultural axis”, which is a key showcase of Hohhot’s cultural vitality.

The exhibition features 95 sculptures in bronze, stone, metal, and other materials, spanning styles from realism to abstraction, and enticing visitors to linger.

Yang Xiaowen, a Hohhot resident with a taste for geometric and abstract works, said, “Compared with past years, this year’s pieces feel fresher and resonate more with my personal aesthetic.” His 8-year-old daughter, Yang Mu, pointed to a work titled Strawberry Bunny and exclaimed, “It cleverly combines a strawberry and a rabbit. I love it.”

Cristian Biasci, Director of the Sculpture Department at the Florence Academy of Art, noted that in today’s increasingly virtual world, public sculpture is more vital than ever as an artistic language that reconnects us with real human relationships. He sees the Hohhot exhibition as a living example of how sculpture can be integrated into public spaces.

“This is an aesthetic dialogue across time and space between Chinese and international artists,” said Jing Yumin, Vice Chairman of the China Urban Sculptors Association. “These works are not only frozen moments of artistic expression but also fluid exchanges of thought, reflecting the idea of ‘harmonious coexistence and shared beauty.'” He hopes the sculptures will be both a delightful surprise for local residents and a window for the world to better understand China, and for China to engage with the world.

The exhibition runs from August 2025 to January 2026, with sculpture salons, art markets, and other events planned throughout the period.
