美食街
From there we walked to the river bank. It was awfully hot, humid and overcrowded. It was as dirty as Marine Drive. It was quite dirty in contrast to Shanghai but was cleaner than any other Indian town still it was quite a come down. There were signs of litter but no stink of urine or excreta. In every city functional toilets are easily available around everywhere. I clicked some pictures of the bridge over the river but couldn’t get good shots.People were sitting by the river embankment. A continuous walkway stretched all along the river and even though it was well d with flowery bushes, trees and grassy stretches but was dimly lit and not up to the standards I had got used to seeing and expect in China. Some people were playing giant tops which needed skilful whip with giant whips to keep them sning. They were being played by as many women if not more than the men who were playing them. Women here, I would assert are far superior than their men folk, though in my case it’s true even in Indian context but most of my brethren will disagree if their better halves don’t read their oions they thrust upon their gullible henpecked fellow bloggers. Jokes apart they can tear the egos if any of the men apart and outsmart them in every field they choose to compete in. Sincerely there is no comparison as men are no match to the women here. From ordinary skilled fitters to highly skilled engineers, pilots, bus drivers, train drivers, they do everything and keep their children( In most cases it’s one child, though this policy is fairly relaxed now) tidy and well fed and their husbands up This nation I would say is progressing because the women are doing better than anything the men are doing and the skilled work force of this country as compared to any other nation is 2:1.
我们从美食街步行到江岸，天气非常炎热、潮湿，河岸上很多人，这里跟孟买海滨大道一样脏，比起上海要脏多了，但要比任何一座印度城市来得干净。地上能看到垃圾，但闻不到屎尿味。在每一座中国城市，你随时随地能找到能用的厕所。我拍了几张大桥的照片，但没拍出好效果。
人们坐在沿江大堤上。绵延不断的步行道沿着河流一直延伸下去，边上的花丛、树木和草坪整得很完美，但光线昏暗，并未达到我在中国常见和所期望的那种标准。
一些人在玩游戏，可以看出玩游戏的人中，女的不会比男的少。我可以断言，中国女人要远强于中国男人。她们能在其选择的各领域超越男人。由衷地说，中国男人比不过中国女人。除了相夫教子外（大多数情况下只有一个孩子，不过政策现在有所放松），从普通的熟练装配工到高超技巧的工程师，再到飞行员、公交车司机、火车司机，各行各业都能看到她们的身影。我要说的是，中国之所以在进步，是因为女人做得比男人好，该国熟练劳工队伍的人数和其他国家比起来是2:1
江上的大桥，据说是解放后的第一座长江大桥
The hels in China are very reasonably priced. We stayed in one of the good hels available in the town (not a five star hel) and we out of curiosity asked the room rents and were surprised to know that it was around three hundred yuan which works out to be around 2100 rupees. In India these days you can’t even stay in a good Dharamsh at this price. The places are immaculately clean in China and people dress up well irrespective of their financial status and their jobs.中国酒店的住宿价格非常合理。我们入住市内一家较好的酒店（并非五星级）。出于好奇，我问了下房间价格，结果十分吃惊，居然只要300元，也就是大约相当于2100卢比。如今在印度，就凭这个价，你连较好的Dharamsh酒店都入住不了。中国各地环境非常干净，不管经济地位如何，不管从事何工作，人们穿着得体大方。
Very dark clouds gathered in the morning threatening to upset our programme. By the time the driver came to pick us up, it was raining heavily. We put our bags in the dickey and started off nevertheless. The car drove through the roads along the river and the scenery started becoming picturesque as the city line merged with the horizon. The driver did not understand a word of English but this has stopped bothering me long since.
早上乌云密布，我们的计划可能要受影响。司机开车过来接我时已经是倾盆大雨。汽车行驶在江岸大道上，随着城市越离越远并最终汇入地平线，风景开始变得如画一般。司机一句英语都不会说，但我早就以为常了，不觉得有啥麻烦。

Mr. Navneet..
Wuhan kahaan hai? Oh China mai....
I come to know now only that a city by such name ests in China...
Photographs and hard working culture of the people and your positive attitudes induce me to have a trip to China at least before expiry... ha ha
I have read that from other travelogues that Chinese are really industrious and do keep the place neat and clean....
Informative travelogue..
Owner's Pride , Neighbours Envy... ( Owner... China .. Neighbour.. India )
武汉？哦，中国......
才知道中国有这么一座城市。
你拍的照片，中国人勤劳的文化，你的积极态度，都在诱使我至少去中国走一次，哈哈
从你写的其他旅行见闻来看，中国人的确勤勤恳恳，环境保持得整洁干净......
主人自豪，邻居嫉妒.....（主人是中国，邻居是印度）

Thanks Asir- You must visit China once to see to believe.
Navneet
你至少得去中国一次，眼见为实，百闻不如一见！
Beautiful photos!
Wonderul narration!
Shall put Wuhan on top of my list!
Cheers
Menon
照片拍得漂亮，叙述很精彩！
看来第一个要去参观的就是武汉了！
navneetkumarbakshi
Thanks Menon Sahib- Must visit China if you haven't visited still. Wuhan ofcourse is not a top tourist spot. If you visit China there be a long list of other places taking precedence. Guilin, Huangzuo, Suzo, Shanghai, Beig and many more.
Navneet
如果还没去过中国，那真得去看看。当然，武汉不是旅游的首选。如果来中国，有很多其他地方更值得去游览，比如桂林、杭州、苏州、上海、北京......
Dear Navneet,
Chinese on the march and you are lucky to be witnessing it.
Thanx fro sharing your experiences with us with some excellent pictures.
Li Na the new brand name for Wuhan!
中国人在前进，你有幸目睹这一切。
感谢分享中国经历以及精彩配图。
李娜成为了武汉的新品牌。
navneetkumarbakshi
Thanks for your visit. It indeed is very inspiring to see the Chinese on a march to prosperity. Whatever the world might say about fre m and h an ri hts. Yes discipline, strict law and order, stability in go nment are very important for the progress of a nation but inspiration is intrinsic part of character.
看着中国人迈向繁荣真是鼓舞人心。不管其他国家怎么大谈特谈自由啊，啊什么的，其实都不重要。一个国家要想进步，那么人们尊规守纪，严苛法治得到贯彻，政府稳定等才是重要的。
Hi,
I super enjoyed this post. Bhabiji looks ekdum fit. My 'adab' to her.
If I ever go to china i will die shop. Took a long look at the colorful
slipper photu :p
我超喜欢本文。你妻子看起来很健康，代我向她转达“adab”的祝福。
要是我去中国，我会拼命购物。
navneetkumarbakshi
Thanks Ghaz, I have conveyed your adab to her sitting next to me, watching TV and eating nuts while I am having a glass of wine. I was worrying that such a beautiful blog written and posted effortfully may go in to oblivion unnoticed. I have so many photos but so difficult to put up the picture blogs.
谢谢，我已经转达了你的“adab”，她坐在我旁边，在一边看电视一边吃着坚果，而我在喝着一杯葡萄酒。我担心，行文如此优美且花了很大一番心血才发出来的这篇博文可能会没人关注。我还有很多照片，但是在本站贴图太麻烦了。
navneet
, i absolutely love it when u post pictures and write stuff about China
i have learnt so much from u even changed my oion of China and the Chinese
many thanks
jaijui
我非常喜欢你写的中国旅行见闻。
从你身上领悟了很多，甚至改变了我对中国和中国人的看法。
万分感谢。
navneetkumarbakshi
I changed my oion before deciding to change that of the others. We know so little about the real China, I thought. We might criticize the go nment as co unist and cite h an ri hts violations and curbs on fre m of exp ion etc but the real China is it warm, loving, simple hard working and dedicated people. Policies alone don't make a nation successful, nor the rehotrics do, it's the contribution of the common people that makes the difference.
我是先有自己看法的改变，然后才决定改变其他人的看法。我认为我们对真实中国的了解太少了。或许我们会批评他们是政府，或许会批评他们侵犯，压制等，但真实的中国是那么的温暖人心，人们勤劳刻苦，甘于奉献。光有政策是不会让一个国家成功的，豪言壮语也没有用，真正能带来改变的是人们的贡献。
Hi Navneet
I enjoyed your post thoroughly, had been to Wuhan and yes, while I was trying to present my experiences of China I remember receiving malicious comments which I had instantly erased. Appreciating the people do not mean that one is an out co unist. I am in no way one such but I could not help admiring the country & people. I know China has one of the ancient sophisticated culture in the world that had a tally with ancient India but everything has been jeopardised by ignorant invaders...they try to manipulate maul history to suit own ends and present the rich heritage of Asia as zero... a la Cambodia!
Thanks for sharing Ether
非常喜欢你的博文，我去过武汉。当我把个人的中国经历分享出来后，我记得收到一些恶意评论，当时马上就删除了。夸中国人并不意味着我就是者，我决不是者，但禁不住称赞这个国家和她的人民。中国是一个与印度齐名的文明古国，但是被愚昧的入侵者摧毁了一切.......他们（入侵者）试图粗暴对待历史，图谋将亚洲丰富的遗产归于零......
navneetkumarbakshi
Hello Ether- Nice to see you after a long time. People have to see China to believe. Sirf baatein karane se kuchh nahin achieve hota. Will Lokpal bill make India a different nation? Can we compare ourselves with China. I have written a lot here and will as long as I live here. Read the comment I posted here in reply to Jaijui's comment.
对于中国，你只有亲眼目睹了才会相信。《公民监察法案》有给印度带来不同吗？我们比得过中国吗？我已经写了很多很多，且只要还在中国，我就会继续写下去。

I clearly follow your thoughts and feelings but for our country - no matter how clumsy we maybe we are still really free! Ofcourse I am full praise and admiration for China but personally cannot come to terms as following po itics. Surely I would not be fault finding either about China - not the type to poke my nose in other people's internal affairs but Chinese Progress do need kudos, which may not be because of co sm but the determination of the people. Other countries in the World has seen prosperity minus co unists.. As for Indian backwardness and empty arrogance it is some other mysterious reason...
Keep posting
我能和你感同身受。话说回来，不管多么不堪，其实我们真的非常自由！中国的成就让我赞不绝口，但个人对的不敢苟同。当然，我不会去挑中国的病，我不是那种喜欢插手别人内部事务的人，但是中国人的进步的确值得给个赞，或许这该归功于人民的决心而非。

Fully agrees with you Jayshree.. F cannot be bargained. Here people can't speak, can't prest ag inst go nment decisions. Even in India chahe aap ki sunvayee na ho lekin yeh ehsaas ki mera haq hai is quite relieving.
“不管多么不堪，其实我们真的非常自由！中国的成就让我赞不绝口，但个人对的不敢苟同”
完全赞同。自由是不能拿来讨价还价的。在这里，人们不敢对政府的决定说三道四，更不敢........
