Wuhan, known as the "River City" and "Thoroughfare to Nine Provinces," is a National Historical and Cultural City with over 3,500 years of history. Strategically located at the confluence of the Yangtze and Han Rivers, it has long been a vital transportation hub and commercial center in China. The city is steeped in culture, from the legendary tale of bosom friends Boya and Ziqi during the Spring and Autumn period to the timeless poetry inspired by the Yellow Crane Tower. It gained modern fame as the "Capital of the 1911 Revolution." From the ancient Panlong City ruins to the modern appearance of the Jianghan Customs House, and embodied by its pioneering, inclusive spirit and vibrant waterfront culture, Wuhan presents a unique blend of profound heritage and dynamic modernity to the world.
