Wuhan (Wǔhàn [武汉]) is the capital of Hubei Province (湖北省). It lies at the confluence of the Changjiang River (Yangtze River [长江]) and Hanjiang Rivers (汉江) and it consists of three towns: Wuchang (Wǔchāng [武昌]), Hankou (Hànkǒu [汉口]), and Hanyang (Hànyáng [汉阳]) that face each other across the two rivers and are linked by two giant bridges. The name Wuhan comes from the combination of the names of the three districts (Wǔ + Hàn).
Wuhan is also a major industrial, financial, scientific, and educational center in central China.
