Hankow Customs House

Located on the banks of the Yangtze River, this former customs house serves as a museum documenting the history of the treaty port era. Visitors go here to view the architecture of the modern era, specifically the prominent clock tower, and to explore exhibits detailing the region's trade and administrative past.
