Which city does Wuhan belong to?

Wuhan, abbreviated as Han, is the capital of Hubei Province, China, with a permanent population of 8.58 million and a foreign registered population of 1 1.2 million (August 2007). Wuhan is located in the east of Jianghan Plain, on both sides of the middle reaches of the Yangtze River, where the Yangtze River meets the Hanshui River. East longitude11341'-1505', north latitude 29 58'-3122'. It is the largest city in central China and one of the seven central cities in Chinese mainland.

The Yangtze River, the third largest river in the world, and the Hanshui River, its largest tributary, divide Wuhan into three parts, forming a pattern of Wuchang, Hankou and Hanyang separated by a river. Li Bai, a poet in the Tang Dynasty, once wrote here that "the Jade Emperor blows the Yellow Crane Tower and plum blossoms fall into the river in May", so Wuhan has been called "the river city" since ancient times. In the late Qing Dynasty, the National Government and the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, Wuhan was once the largest inland city in China, ranking among the best cities in Asia, so it was once known as "Chicago of the East".

Wuhan is also the birthplace of the Republic of China.
