Wuhan is set at the confluence of the Yangtze River and Han River (the longest tributary of the Yangtze), on the west Jianghan Plain, a region that has more water area than land. It is the largest city in central China and the capital of Hubei Province. Wuhan is composed of three separate cities: Wuchang, Hankou, and Hanyang. Wuhan was first settled in the first century during the Three Kingdom era as a part of the Wu Kingdom. By the Yuan Dynasty (1279-1368), Wuhan was the capital of the region and was enclosed by a city wall until the end of the 19th century. Wuhan was played an important role in modern Chinese history. In the late 19th century, a farsighted official of the Qing Dynasty (1644-1911), Zhang Zhi Dong, established factories and an arsenal in Hanyang to begin the industrializing Movement of China. The 1911 revolution was first started here and caused the downfall of the last imperial dynasty in China. The first major industrial strike in Chinese history, the “February 7” railroad strike took place here in 1923. After the fall of Nanjing in 1937 during the Anti-Japanese War, the Nationalist government made Wuhan its capital for a year before moving to Chongqing. Tourist attractions include the Yellow Crane Tower, Yangtze River Bridge, East Lake, and the Hubei Provincial Museum, which houses artifacts from the first century BC, as well as mementos of the province’s revolutionary history.

Located at the confluence of the Yangtze River and the Han River, Wuhan is a prosperous metropolitan in central China. It is the capital city of Hubei Province. Being a economic, political, culturual and financial center, Wuhan City is one of China's six most important cities.

Wuhan City is interlaced by the Yangtze River and the Han River forming countless inland lakes and convenient waterways that extend in all directions. The two rivers separate Wuhan into three parts. It is no wonder that it's called Jiang Cheng (a city in the water.). Wuhan covers an area of about 8,467 square kilometers (2,092,241 acres), with the population of about 7,850,000 people. Although most minorities can be found here, ethnic populations account for only a fraction of the total. Wuhan is a city in which many religions exist in harmony. Buddhism, Taoism, Islam, Catholicism and Christianism are all found here.
