Wuhan in central China's Hubei Province, once the worst-hit city by the COVID-19 epidemic in 2020, has seen flourishing scenes again as it returned to its routine hustle and bustle with enchanting breakfast snacks refreshing local people as the start of a daily lifestyle.

In Wuhan, having breakfast is known as "guozao". The explanation stems from the fact that the city has played a central role in transport in history, both by river in the East-West axis and by land that links various routes across the country, fostering a strong port culture in the region.

Breakfast stalls are seen everywhere in the streets and alleys of Wuhan. It is not uncommon to come across busy Wuhan residents, walking on the road while eating. For people in Wuhan, a good day at work starts after downing a bowl of hot noodles.
