Train to Wuhan

We took the night (soft sleeper) train from Guilin to Wuhan. The train experience was fun, the train station was CHAOS!! Seemingly there is never a time of day or a train that is not mobbed by it's occupants. All Chinese run at top speed to the train cars even though the berths are pre assigned and fixed. We still don't understand this except maybe it is a carry over from days when the seats wern't fixed and it was every mn for himself.
We arrived in Wuhan at around 8:00 in the morning bright eyed and bushy tailed to see the city. Wuhan is a big industrial like place that at one point in it's history had quite a large foreign presence du to it's position at the interection of 6 rivers. So it boasts a number of out of place European inspired buildings that used to be foreign consulates but now are hotels and the like. See bottom photo.
We went to the provincial museum first and saw thier collection of relics which include some 2 thousand year old bells. The musum sages a sho with bell replicas playing compositions from the period. It was great. They allso played "greensleaves" or something like that which was less enchanting!
