🧭 Wuhan's Travel Essentials — What Every Visitor Should Know

🔋 Before You Pack for Wuhan

A dead phone charger is a rough way to start a trip to Wuhan. Confirm the local socket type and voltage in the Electrical Standards table above before you leave home, then pack a universal adapter rather than hunting for the right plug once you land.
