Wuhan will always been known as the city where the SARS virus responsible for the global Covid-19 epidemic was first discovered, but the Chinese city is keen to promote itself as a high-tech tourism hub.
Wuhan officials are describing their city as "dynamic" and issued a press release saying: "From the suspended monorail that soars above the city to high-speed trains connecting you to major hubs -Wuhan's tech scene is always on the go!"
Wuhan is the capital of Hubei, with a population of over eleven million people.The urban centre apparently boasts robots helping with daily life, drones delivering groceries, and cutting-edge satellite tech reshaping space exploration.
The press release says: "The future is NOW, and it's happening right here! Wuhan is where sci-fi meets reality - every day."
Sounds intriguing, and I'd certainly put my hand up to explore.
Among the drawcards are Optics Valley Square, the largest underground complex in Asia and a popular hangout spot for over a million university students and the Optics Valley Photon suspended monorail with a 270°view (below), the Changjiang Daily reports.
The Optics Valley Quantum trams adopt supercapacitor power supply technology and provide passengers with free wifi service across the network.
There is also a self-driving ride-hailing service and you can visit Wuhan Economic & Technological Development Zone and try a self-driving taxi on its 106km of smart roads.
Optics Valley Future City, meanwhile, powers itself with solar panels and recycles rainwater.
