Wuhan Snack Hubu Lane is located in Free Road, Wuchang. It is a century-old lane with a length of 1.50 meters, and its prosperous breakfast stall has been enduring for 20 years. In the Qing dynasty, this 100-meter hutong was named because it was adjacent to the Fantai yamen.
People in Wuhan will have breakfast, which is called "precocity". This first came from a poem "Zhi Zhu Ci in Hankou" in Qing Dynasty. Breakfast, which was perfunctory or even neglected in other cities, was promoted as a "new year's goods" by Wuhan people casually and grandly. Hubu Lane, which is famous for its snacks, is the most famous "Morning Market Lane" in Wuhan.
A note written by He Ruohuan, a famous performing artist of Wuhan Quyi, is engraved at the mouth of the alley: "Chinese flavor is early, and Hubu Lane is hot and fresh". At the other end of the alley, there are two stone lions, which are inscribed by the famous calligrapher Chen Yijing in the style of carving Wuhan snacks in Taishan Mountain: "Chinese flavor early collar".
The pavement of Hubu Lane is paved with families as a unit. There is a home upstairs and a food store downstairs, in order to survive. The breakfast here is old enough and delicious enough. There are more than 30 kinds of special snacks, such as Regan Noodles, Xu's fresh fish paste soup powder, Chen's beef noodles, Gao's porridge pancakes and Wan's rice wine, which have well preserved the characteristics of Wuhan's food culture.
History of Hubu Lane:
In the 1940s, XiaoShouXie Mianwo, which was peddled along the street, settled in Hubu Lane, and was well-known in the three towns for its variety and delicious taste. In the early days of liberation, the catering industry entered a cooperative mode, and Xie's noodle nest was "incorporated" by state-owned restaurants, and his reputation gradually faded.
In 1970s, some people in Hubu Lane made breakfast to support their families, so many famous snacks were produced, such as Shi Popo Regan Noodles and Chen's spicy beef noodles.
In the 1980s and 1990s, the riverside area of Zhonghua Road was the starting point and terminal of many public transport vehicles in Wuhan, and the passenger ferry terminals were concentrated. Many citizens cross the river to work by ferry, and Hubu Lane has gradually become a "premature" gathering place for these office workers. 1990, the descendants of Xie's Mianwo returned to their old jobs, resumed their traditional production methods and management methods, and settled in Hubu Lane again.
This is the starting point for the prosperity of Hubu Lane. Since then, the whole city and even scattered old Wuhan have come here "prematurely" at the first opportunity. An alley no longer than 150 meters and no more than 3 meters wide is visited by thousands of people every day, and business is booming all year round.
In 2003, Wuchang District Government built it into the first lane of China-style breakfast. Through antique renovation, the architecture here presents Amin and Qing Dynasty styles. And set up 19 meters long and 3 meters high Chinese breakfast cultural wall in the whole street.
Snacks in Hubu Lane have become synonymous with Chinese breakfast. There is a saying that "try Hubu Lane early and eat Qing Ji Street late".
