Wuhan

Wǔhàn is the only city on the Yangzi that can truly be said to lie on both sides of the river. Wǔchāng on the southeastern bank is faced by Hànkǒu and Hànyáng, themselves divided by the smaller Han River. The city's fragments are stapled together by vast bridges, and ferries cross the Yangzi River throughout the day.
Wǔhàn's centre of gravity is Hànkǒu, focussing around Zhongshan Dadao (and spreading northwest across Jiefang Dadao), where many of the city's famous hotels, historic buildings, department stores, restaurants and street markets are found. The enormous Hànkǒu train station is around 5km (3mi) northwest of Zhongshan Dadao. The city's main river port is also in Hànkǒu, as was, at the time of writing, Wǔhàn's sole light rail line.

The Tianhe International Airport is about 30km (19mi) north of Hànkǒu.
On the southeast side of the Yangzi River, Wǔchāng is a modern district of long, wide avenues. Many recreational areas and the Hubei Provincial Museum are here, as is the city's second train station.
