There are a lot of buses all over the city that usually cost 2 RMB (about 30 US cents) to ride. However, signs are generally only in Chinese. The buses are often crowded with standing room only. The Tourist Line 402 can take tourists to the Yellow Crane Tower and East Lake.

Waterway
Wuhan is one of the largest intermediate ports along the Yangtze River in China. There are passenger ships between Wuhan and Shanghai as well as Wuhan and Chongqing. Because the speed of ships is relatively slow, the number of passengers who go to Wuhan by ship has decreased sharply in recent years. Therefore, less passenger ships depart every day. If you want to take it, you'd better inquire about it beforehand.

Hello Damra,
There is no direct train from Wuhan to Hong Kong, the best and fastest way from Wuhan to Hong Kong is take bus or train to Guangzhou or Shenzhen first, and then take train from Guangzhou or Shenzhen to Hong Kong.

Hi harry law, there is around 380km between Wuhan and Jingdezhen, it is around 6-7 hours for you to stay on the bus. You could go to Fujiapo Long-distance Bus Station(in Chinese,傅家坡长途汽车站) to buy your express bus tickets.
The alternative way is going through highway, about 3.5 hours. You may choose express bus or hiring private car or taxi.
Express bus departs hourly and costs about RMB150 per person. You can take taxi to the cruise pier after arrive in Yichang. Hiring a private car or taxi probably will cost RMB1500/ per car, for 2-3 people.
