Wuhan
Wuhan (Chinese: 武汉) is the capital of Hubei province, People's Republic of China, and is the city with most people in Central China.[1] It is at the east of the Jianghan Plain, where the Yangtze and Han rivers meet. Joining three nearby cities, Wuchang, Hankou, and Hanyang, Wuhan is a center of transportation, with many railways, roads and expressways passing through. Because of its important role in transportation, Wuhan was sometimes called the "Chicago of China."[2][3] It is also recognized as the political, economic, financial, cultural, and educational center of central China.[1]
The city of Wuhan, first called so in 1927, has 10,020,000 people (as at 2011).[4] In the 1920s, Wuhan was the national capital of a Kuomintang (KMT) government led by Wang Jingwei when he was against Chiang Kai-shek,[5] and it was also the capital in 1937.[6][7]
