What is the name of Wuhan?

Wuhan, referred to as "Han" or "Jiangcheng" for short, is the capital of Hubei Province, the only sub-provincial city and mega-city in six central provinces, the central city of Central China, the core city of the Yangtze River Economic Belt, an important industrial base, science and education base and comprehensive transportation hub in China.

Wuhan is located in the east of Jianghan Plain and the middle reaches of the Yangtze River. The Yangtze River, the third largest river in the world, and its largest tributary, the Han River, pass through the city center, dividing the central city of Wuhan into three parts, forming a pattern of three towns and one river in Wuhan. Rivers crisscross the city, and lakes and harbors are intertwined, forming the water ecological environment along the riverside and lakeside.

Wu Hanyou, known as the thoroughfare of nine provinces, is the largest land, sea and air transportation hub in China and the shipping center in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River. Its high-speed rail network radiates more than half of China, making it the only city in Central China that can fly directly to five continents.

Wuhan is a national historical and cultural city and an important birthplace of Chu culture. The site of Panlongcheng in China has a history of 3,500 years and is known as "Chicago of the East". Wuhan is the birthplace of China's democratic revolution, and Wuchang Uprising, as the beginning of the Revolution of 1911, is of great historical significance.

Wuhan is also called "Great Wuhan". In the early years of the Republic of China, Dr. Sun Yat-sen put forward that "Wuhan should be slightly larger than new york and London" in the General Plan for the Founding of the People's Republic of China. With the success of the first meaning of 1911, Dr. Sun Yat-sen marveled: "Wuhan shouted and the Quartet responded", revealing Wuhan's important strategic position in controlling the Quartet.

During the Battle of Wuhan, the slogan of "Defending Great Wuhan" resounded throughout the country, showing the great influence of Wuhan. At the beginning of the 20th century, Wuhan once became the second largest city in China after Shanghai, and "Great Wuhan" and "Great Shanghai" brought out the best in each other, becoming the only two cities in the history of China that were once labeled as "Big".

Wuhan is the city with the largest number of college students in the world, and it is also the financial, commercial, trade and cultural center of inland areas. With the goal of "Reviving Great Wuhan", Wuhan will return to a national central city and an international metropolis.

Wuhan is really big. When you board the Yellow Crane Tower, you can have a panoramic view of Wuhan's atmosphere: the two rivers meet, the tortoise and the snake are opposite, the three towns stand upright, and one river does not return. Wuhan has a vast territory and great momentum, which cannot be ignored.
