What should I pack when moving to Wuhan?
We asked people living in Wuhan to list three things they wish they had brought and three they wish they had left behind. They responded...
"Pack items appropriate to Wuhan's climate, such as light sweaters and jackets for the spring and autumn months and heavier sweaters and coats for winter. Make sure to also bring suitable footwear for the often wet and humid weather conditions. Bring items from home such as disinfectant cleaning wipes, toilet paper, paper towels and soaps, as these items are often unavailable in Chinese supermarkets. Consider bringing some American snacks and comfort foods that you may struggle to find in Wuhan. Toiletries such as sunscreen, toothpaste and deodorant can be difficult to find and may not measure up to Western standard. When packing for Wuhan, don’t forget to include an adapter to be able to use your electronics," mentioned another expat when asked about moving to Wuhan, China, China.
