We are in Wuhan right now and we tried for two hours to find the place where we can buy tickets for the ferry to Jiujiang. The people who understood us in english told us that there are no ferries to Jiujiang but maybe we asked at the wrong place (we were at the end of the famous street on the west bank). Could you tell us where exactely we need to go? Thank you very much!
How can I go from South International export center station to Yuehan Port?
To the port, you can take subway line 6 to Dazhi Rd and then take a taxi there.
