Wuhan (simplified Chinese: 武汉) is the capital of Hubei province, and is the most populous city in central People's Republic of China. It lies at the east of Jianghan Plain, and the intersection of the middle reaches of the Yangtze and Han River. Arising out of the conglomeration of three boroughs, Wuchang, Hankou, and Hanyang, Wuhan is known as the "thoroughfare of nine provinces"; it is a major transportation hub, with dozens of railways, roads and expressways passing through the city. The city of Wuhan, first termed as such in 1927, has a population of approximately 9,100,000 people (2006), with about 6,100,000 residents in its urban area. In the 1920s, Wuhan was the capital of a leftist Kuomintang (KMT) government led by Wang Jingwei in opposition to Chiang Kai-shek, now Wuhan is recognized as the political, economic, financial, cultural, educational and transportation center of central China.

How do you get the photos to become so clear? All my night photos tend to get blurry :(

Fantastic photos, I will visit Wuhan, so it's really nice to see Wuhan in action.

I like it ... not empty lifeless buildings, but people actually enjoying lives.

Thank you! It reminds me the great time I had there... :cheers: :cheers:

Welcome to China again!

ding, fucker...

All pics following were shot in the Area of Wuchang's "Optical valley of China". Home to a bunch of high tech companies, a grand scale exhibition center as well as first class hotels and surrounded by several universities working hand in hand with the local industry it will certainly play a key role in Wuhan's further development. Here we go...

Nice pics :okay: .There're so many projects under construction.

Yes, there r many projects and there is much more to come. The optical valley area will also be connected to the wuhan metro (which is under construction these days) providing a fast connection to Hankou.

Here is the rest of my pics, most of them showing the Exhibition Center and its surrounding...

光谷？？
都有些什么技术产品
光驱？光储？

no mate, 武汉光谷做的是光纤，光通信，激光。。
光纤到户，武汉全中国大陆第一个使用。。。
华中的激光产品你去打听打听在国内国外的地位。。
你是来自哪里的，敢这样瞧不起光谷？报上名来先。。。

逛谷现在还是象点样子了，2000年时候鲁巷转盘都还种的杂草，应付李岚清视察，校内也是每天检查卫生，烦死了

武汉的光谷是很有名的，华工的激光也是长期占垄断地位的。 不过光谷作为产业群，随着周厅长升到北京当部长以及光纤饱和，严重供大于求后，基本上影响就很小了。

Your title is extremely misleading, like I said I hate it when people draw this kind of comparison, but I can accept it when there is some truth to it, but your pictures have not convinced me that.

Wuhan was historically called the "Chicago of China" because it was the largest industrial city in the hinterland of China in the early 20th century. This was because there were colonial sections controlled by foreign powers, and it was a major port and railroad terminus.

Obviously the two cities have developed in different ways, but the main reason why they were compared was because both were the largest industrial centers and railroad terminus in the hinterlands of both China and the US. While Shanghai and New York can be compared together, as they are both the premiere financial cities of both countries.

I think nowadays, Chongqing can be more accurately compared to Chicago. It's rapidly becoming the largest metropolis in inland China.

Chongqing,oh,no,,,
Chongqing is not like a city,
Frankly Speaking,
Chongqing is an "abnormal province" with a large area & a population of 30,000,000.Chongqing is an industrial city with a lot of agricultural people.

Oh thank you!!!

Wuhan is Wuhan, Chicago is Chicago. Period.

Oh thank you!!!

Wuhan is Wuhan, Chicago is Chicago. Period.

exactly, they have nothing similiar. and many Chinese cities will surpass Chicago in terms of skylines.

What is the lake that the city is situated on? I see it in some of the photos.

It's not about being similar though.

I have absolutely no problem with someone state that a Chinese city, or just a part of it, reminds them of another city. But to for example say Wuhan is the Chicago of China, is simply insulting as if Wuhan's sole existence is to copy Chicago...

What is the lake that the city is situated on? I see it in some of the photos.

it's the Eastern Lake,locats in the wuchang district.Wuhan has three parts,hankou,wuchang and hanyang,seperated by the changjiang river and hanjiang river.

Nice photos. But next time pls put all photos in the first post if possible.
Oh,I'm sorry.Actually I'm a greenhand in this forum. I just don't know how to put all photos in a post. Please tell me the way.

Wuhan is a not city with nice skyline as some other China cities
R U sure? I dare say Wuhan is one of the few cities in mainland China that has a magnificant skyline.U know that the skyline of Wuhan is quite long,and most of skyscrapers in Wuhan are not by the riverside.
Look at the graph below,it shows the ranking of cities' skyline all over the world.
http://img221.imageshack.us/img221/9466/02670c19yf3.jpg (http://imageshack.us)
Wuhan ranks 24th globally,even ahead of Taipei & Dubai etc.
Wuhan ranks 6th in the mainland China, only after Shanghai,Guangzhou,Chongqing,Shenzhen&Peking.

Here is the photo of Wuhan's skyline(northern bank of the Yangtze River)

I like Taipei indeed!

Chongqing is geographically more like Lexington, KT

east is east,west is west,Wuhan resemble Nagoya than Chicago

east is east,west is west,Wuhan resemble Nagoya than Chicago
No, Wuhan is Wuhan, Nagoya is Nagoya...

Chinese Cities don't resemble American Cities....Chinese Cities look much more Colorful and Futuristic,while American Cities look Outdated and Boring :-(

I have nearly 1,000 pictures of Wuhan, it really demands a lot of time to post them all. I'll post them , provided I'm free.

I thought it was established long ago that stats and data from emporis should not be trusted. Anyway, great pix of Wuhan and as said, please don't compare it to Nagoya or Chicago.

Nagoya is probably built from a blueprint that resembled some Chinese city years ago. And Chicago is more like a baby comparing to Wuhan (no offence), the famouse Yellow Crane Tower of Wuhan was built some 1800 years ago. Did Nagoya or Chicago even exist?

Actually the current Yellow Crane Tower was built after the 1950's. The original Yellow Crane Tower was unfortunately destroyed during the Chinese civil war...

Yeah, it's a shame the current Yellow Crane Tower isn't the original but it is a relatively good approximation (apart from the lift of course :lol: ).

it's the Eastern Lake,locats in the wuchang district.Wuhan has three parts,hankou,wuchang and hanyang,seperated by the changjiang river and hanjiang river.

Thanks. I did seem to remember reading that Wuhan was actually three cities. Which one of the districts is the dominant one now?

OMFG!

Wuhan has some bizzare, awkward, and weird architecture. And, although I wouldn't say they're aesthetically attractive...I wouldn't call them tacky either.

Btw, does Wuhan have a larger metropolitan area than Chengdu in terms of population?

Very sorry to hear that the tower was destroyed, thanks for the info Pangu.

Interesting pictures! I'm particularly interested in the third picture with the railway station captioned 漢口，大智門東站. When was it constructed? Does it still exist (which I strongly doubt)? Does anybody have more information on this railway station?

Interesting pictures! I'm particularly interested in the third picture with the railway station captioned 漢口，大智門東站. When was it constructed? Does it still exist (which I strongly doubt)? Does anybody have more information on this railway station?

Fortunately,the railway station is still exist.The station was built in 1900.Thebuilding of the station has a rectangular plane.The facade faces the street.It consists of five sections,which are symmetrically built from the central hall.Two waiting rooms on both sides are open to the hall.At both ends of the station there is a two-story building of the same size.Booking offices and waiting rooms are on the groundfloor of the buildings.Offices occupy the 2nd floor.The front and back facades have the same structure.In the central hall there was a huge semicircular window on its two sides.Each of the four corners on the top of the hall has a spire,which is of the typical French four-bastille style.The central hall and building on both sides have arching roofs covered with green ironsheets,corresponding to the green eaves.The whole bulding has a simple and refined appearance.It was also one of the railway stations with good facilities in early China.

The construction project of the new railway station in Hankow was started in 1989,and was completed and open to the public in 1991.From then on,the building was no longer used as a railway station.As it is an important historical building of the national levels,it is carefully preserved till now.

The recent photo of the old station

Now,Wuhan is one of the few cities(just Beijing,Canton,Shanghai&Wuhan) in China that have 3 national level railway stations.

Wuhan Station(For the Peking-Canton express-railway) is now under construction.It will be completed by the end of 2008.

^^ Thank you very much! :)
With pleasure,thank U for your concern.

The *** railway stations currently being built in China are extremely impressive. I think it's good that so much priority has been given to the development of the railway instead of just domestic flights.
I'm actually surprised that only Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Wuhan have national level railway stations. What about places like Chongqing (since it's such a big ****) and Kunming (because it has international rail connections)?

I'm actually surprised that only Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Wuhan have national level railway stations. What about places like Chongqing (since it's such a big ****) and Kunming (because it has international rail connections)?

I'm afraid U misunderstood what I said.I mean that only Beijing,Shanghai,Wuhan&Guangzhou have more than 2 national leval railway stations.Wuhan has 3 big railway stations,one for Hankow,one for Wuchang and one for the Peking-Canton Express Railway.

Some of China's metropolises such as Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Chengdu, and Xi'an are all within a circle around the center of Wuhan with the radius of 1000km. Wuhan is the important strategic supporting point of Central China.
Wuhan is one of traffic hubs in China. Its capacity of communications at home and to foreign countries is among the top list of China’s metropolises. Its arterial highways extend in all directions. Its ******** has formed the external cycle, middle cycle and internal cycle of fast lanes. Four arterial railways such as Jing-Guang, Jing-Jiu, Wu-Da and Han-Dan intersect in Wuhan, from which you may reach 25 provincial capitals in China by railway.

Ah, thanks for that, sorry I misunderstood you. I must say, I'm very impressed with China's railway infrastructure.

I will not compare it to Chicago. But if you want to compare East vs West then imo, Chicago is comparable to Shanghai and Hong Kong is to New York. The most similar city comparable to Wuhan is maybe "Houston" but thats just my opinion.

lol have you ever been to Houston? I've lived here for 17 years and have also been to Wuhan and I can tell you the two cities are nothing alike no matter what aspects you compare with, be it skyline, population, city density, culture... etc.

Wuhan is a metropolis with various cityscapes. So it doesn't resemble Chicago,Nanoya,Houston,Atlanta,etc.Wuhan is just Wuhan!!!"The Otiental Chicago" is just refer to that Wuhan plays the role in China is similar to that Chicago plays in the US.Wuhan is the largest city in inland China,while Chicago is the largest in inland America.
Wuhan was historically called the "Chicago of China" because it was the largest industrial city in the hinterland of China in the early 20th century. This was because there were colonial sections controlled by foreign powers, and it was a major port and railroad terminus.

Obviously the two cities have developed in different ways, but the main reason why they were compared was because both were the largest industrial centers and railroad terminus in the hinterlands of both China and the US. While Shanghai and New York can be compared together, as they are both the premiere financial cities of both countries.

Hey, great update on Shimao and whole Hanyang Riverside Development. Thx alot. ;)

lol have you ever been to Houston? I've lived here for 17 years and have also been to Wuhan and I can tell you the two cities are nothing alike no matter what aspects you compare with, be it skyline, population, city density, culture... etc.

As I posted again, its just my opinion. I traveled to Shanghai, Hong Kong, Chicago, Houston, New York and many other famous cities in the world but not Wuhan (I don't even know that city until now). The pictures of Wuhan is nice and interesting but if you see the chart of the skyline structures, the number of buildings of Houston are merely the same with Shanghai but way off from Wuhan. Of course, it maybe become Chicago once all the constructions are completed.

up,,,post more pics later

如果说当初的答案有些想当然，那么，现在我可以把这种感受和武汉的大城小调清晰地描述给你。

这是一座遗落在大陆中部孤独的城市，它由三个城区组成，分别占据了两条交叉相汇的大江的一侧，冷然相望，极少往来。

http://img69.imageshack.us/img69/7150/4c0851f0020011mkrt5.jpg (http://imageshack.us/)

这是一座貌似闲散实则心事重重的城市。在一期《新周刊》上，关于武汉外滩的评述饶有兴味，“最想复兴的外滩。拥有百年历史的武汉外滩长久被遗忘，重建的外滩长达９．３公里，面积１６万平方米，使上海外滩的８倍。”准确地说来，“最想复兴”的不是外滩，而是一座城市。

它是真心委屈。在这里，人们只看到城市欲望没有节制的膨胀，与野草一样疯长的，城市的杂乱无章，城市的肮脏无度，城市的过分精明却又躁动无常。人们看到的只是表面，尽管，在这里，即使是最细微末节的地方，与这个城市的百年宏图并无两样，都是平铺直叙的。

http://img77.imageshack.us/img77/9523/4c0851f0020011mnpa5.jpg (http://imageshack.us/)

但它是真心委屈。我理解并同情这座城市身上这样一种落寞与一些淡淡的忧伤，有时候并不需要多么细腻的感触，也不需要多么宽大的胸怀。而只需要你有空的时候，到吉庆街看看。

http://img87.imageshack.us/img87/9481/4c0851f0020011moih6.jpg (http://imageshack.us/)

今天很多人到吉庆街，是因为武汉的某位作家曾写过一些点题的文章，今天你到吉庆街，你还可以看到这样一些印记，我这个鸭脖子就是那个书上写的那个，我这个节目就是谁谁谁书里写的就是我，对我来说这不重要。我到吉庆街，不是因为我喜欢这样的气氛，而是喜欢在这里看看人们怎样在亦步亦趋的日常生活之外，找到唯独属于他们自己的感觉与激情。我喜欢看着他们在面对歌者、舞者以及一些民间匠人的时候，怎样将白天的心事遗忘，他们阴郁的神情怎样像毁损的泥塑一般，簌簌散落一地。尽管给他们带来短暂快乐的，很可能是一出并不怎么样的喜剧。

在这里，你可以体会到在这个城市的脉络纹路下，潜流暗涌的是这个城市真实的品格和禀赋，是上个世纪初乃至再上个世纪末绵延流淌的鲜活的血，坚硬的精神，换言之，是一个成熟的市民社会所具备的全部特征与精神，甚至包括他的一切陋习。

　　 相比之下，我更愿意一个人的时候，找一个安静的酒吧，靠湖。如果你把耳朵贴近地面，是可以听见这个湖上的城市怦怦的心跳的。如果你把椅子更靠近一些，你甚至可以听见这个城市在你身边悠长的呼吸，是平静的，是舒缓的，宁谧而祥和。

http://img376.imageshack.us/img376/7102/4c0851f0020011nrra6.jpg (http://imageshack.us/)

我更愿意钻进某条不知名的小巷，和一帮朋友们一起，大盘鸡，小羊排，烤腰子，羊肉串，以及将其它一些叫得出名字叫不出名字的杂碎、小吃一股脑灌进肚子。只要愿意，这座城市总能给我带来无上的快乐。

http://img376.imageshack.us/img376/5568/4c0851f0020011nuwp8.jpg (http://imageshack.us/)

我更愿意在夜阑人静的时候，一个人在江岸的某条大街上闲逛，从城市的某个拐角不经意的进入，你一定会感叹你所见到的，是这个城市曾经拥有的容光，你甚至可以想象这个城市容光背后的一度繁华——“东方芝加哥”，直逼沪上的十里洋场灯红酒绿，香车宝马，以及翡冷翠一般迷人的夜晚。

http://img234.imageshack.us/img234/4460/4c0851f0020011olwq9.jpg (http://imageshack.us/)

在洞庭街，在鄱阳路，在黎黄陂路，在兰陵路，在天津路，一栋老房子，一个老门洞，一扇韵味十足的窗，一个线条流畅的拐角，一道精致的细部，都让人衷心的赞叹，历久而不衰。是适合交流的尺度，是适合闲逛的尺度，是适合话家常的尺度，是适合两辆马车擦肩而过的尺度，透过若隐若现的帷幕，坐在另一辆马车上的，或许是一个美丽的姑娘，让人一想起来就情不自禁的心痛。

http://img292.imageshack.us/img292/1811/4c0851f0020011ojwb1.jpg (http://imageshack.us/)

当那些铁艺围栏上面的灯次第点燃，当那橘黄的光从一扇扇窗的背后若隐若现的穿透过来，当某一家烤牛排的香气远远近近地把你围绕，那将会是怎样的心境，把你带过两条马路，推开一扇杉木栅栏，敲开无数个木门中的一个，回家。

http://img168.imageshack.us/img168/3674/4c0851f0020011okhj5.jpg (http://imageshack.us/)

我喜欢这样的生活，也因了这样一种生活而喜欢这样一座城市。在我看来，不管是怎样普通的城市，不管是怎样普通的景象，都可以给人带来快乐。或许，这需要有一双敏锐而些许伤感的眼睛，比如，卡尔维诺。

http://img216.imageshack.us/img216/1161/02484201jc0.jpg (http://imageshack.us)

“城市不会泄露自己的过去，只会把它像手纹一样藏起来，它被写在街巷的角落、窗格的护栏、楼梯的扶手、避雷的天线和旗杆上，每一道印记都是抓挠、锯锉、刻凿、猛击留下的痕迹。”

武汉是一个迷人的城市，不是因为她的美，也不是因为她的丑，却是因为在这座人性化的城市里让一切都变得有可能。

@Hankow:

:) u misunderstood it! The tower was named "Gonghang Plaza" because the biggest investor of the project is Industrial and Commercial Bank of China. "最地铁写字楼" is the realtor's slogan of marketing advertisement.

^^什么叫“最地铁”写字楼？

^^什么叫“最地铁”写字楼？

就是因为这幢楼正好建在武汉地铁2号线和4号线的转乘站上，，，所以地产开发上就打起了“地铁”营销牌，，，不过效果是不错的，苏宁已经花巨资将裙楼买下了

it doesnt resemble Chicago at all.
I hate people drawing groundless linkage between Chinese cities and western cities. The only one I can kinda accept is between Chongqing and New York, their skylines do look sometimes similar, not to mention the geography also ahve similarities.

if u hate china so much cant u jus fkin leave??!

sb

^^ Sen said Chongqing is more like New York than Chicago. And there's no point to use western cities as measurement of Chinese cities. I don't see how he hates China. I see more the opposite.
You probably misunderstood his post.

The building with a huge ball-like structure on top is the tackiest building I've ever seen.

中国的城市越来越漂亮

美国《国家地理》杂志：武汉是中国最大城市




武汉是中国最大的城市！这一消息率先由美国权威杂志《国家地理》公布，此后，世界知名通讯社——法新社派出采访团，对武汉进行了为期两个月的采访。

法新社5月22日的电稿表明：美国《国家地理》把武汉列入了“世界十大都市排行榜”，其根据是最新测绘卫星的测绘结果。法新社称，此前，只有上海和汉口曾入选世界十大都市排行榜，而那是在新中国成立前。 这个测绘结果是否科学？来自市规划和统计部门的人士皆表示，“不清楚仅是指主城区面积还是包括远城区面积”，对于武汉是否能作为中国大陆块头最大的城市，上述两部门人士皆表示“没有统一的数据，不好说”。 不管武汉是不是中国最大的城市，作为市民的感受是非常深切的。经常到汉西舵落口的市民石小兵说：“5年前舵落口就是城市边上了，现在城市边在舵落口西边还有十几里。” 武汉的大，也给国际友人留下了印象。据法新社报道，曾任法国驻汉总领事的尚多礼先生描述：武汉是整个巴黎的两倍。 大武汉也吸引了国际社会的关注，在今年的5月，不少会节相继在武汉举办，不少经贸投资考察团纷纷来汉……对此，法新社认为：这全是因为武汉成了《国家地理》上的世界十大都市。
“（武汉）能源成本是上海的1/3，交通成本是上海的1/4，工业成本是北京的1/8”，这是法新社采访结束后，递交给欧洲亚洲发展委员会的一份报告中的采访数据。

Interesting finding, Oliver. :) I tried to translate it into English. It might not be 100% accurate, but the important stuff should get clear:


Wuhan is China's largest city! After this news was first published by the U.S. magazine "National Geographic", the world-famous news agency Agence France-Presse sent out a delegation to undertake a two-month investigation on Wuhan.

AFP`s article from May 22nd states: American "National Geographic" ranks Wuhan among the ten biggest cities of the world referring to the results of analyzing most recent satellite mapping. AFP mentions that in the past, only Shanghai and Hankow had been chosen into the world's top 10 biggest cities ranking, furthermore that this was well before founding of the new China. Are the (National Geographic`s) results the outcome of bad research? Experts from city planning and statistics departments comment: "It seems not clear if these claims refer only to the main urban area or also include the wider metropolitan area". Regarding the question whether Wuhan could actually be mainland China's largest city, the two departments' officials said: "There is no unified data, so this is hard to say." Regardless of Wuhan being China's largest city or not, the perceptions of its' residents might reveal more: Citizen Dan Xiaobing , who often comes along Han Xi's Duoluokou Area (Hankou), said: "Five years ago, Duoluokou was right at the city's boundary. But these days the border is several miles away west from Duoluokou." The size of Wuhan also impresses international friends. According to AFP`s report, former French general consul in Wuhan, Mr. XXX described: Wuhan has twice the size of the whole Paris. Wuhan has also attracted the attention of the international community, during this year's May, many festivals were held in Wuhan, many trade and investment missions came there..." Considering this, AFP believes: This is all because Wuhan got into National Geographic`s Top Ten of the world's biggest cities.
"(In Wuhan,) energy costs is 1/3 of Shanghai's, transport costs is 1/4 of Shanghai's, Industrial cost is 1/ 8 of Beijing's" - this is a part of the research data that Agence France-Presse submitted to the European Asian Development Commission after the results of their investigation.

Interesting finding, Oliver. :) I tried to translate it into English. It might not be 100% accurate, but the important stuff should get clear:

thanks for your hard work!:cheers:

not sure where the connection between Wuhan and Chicago was made in the 1918 magazine...

maybe both were rapidly growing idustrial bases? or immigration areas?

regardless, seems like a neat city

haha I saw my home on one of the pic u shot

"On To Chicago
Monday, Jun. 13, 1938 Article ToolsPrintEmailReprintsSphereAddThisRSS

Already in Japanese hands are China's Boston (Peking), New York (Shanghai) and Washington (Nanking). Last week the Japanese pressed forward in a renewed drive to add China's Chicago (Hankow) to the collection. Capture of Hankow, temporary operating headquarters of Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek's Government since the fall of Nanking five months ago, would not complete the process of dismembering China but would leave the Chinese only a fraction of what was once their nation. In the Yangtze Valley, main trade stem of central China, industrial Hankow is second only to Shanghai. Into Hankow daily roll trainloads of supplies, munitions from China's New Orleans (Canton), planeloads and motorcades of vital arms and materials from Russia through Sovietized Outer Mongolia (China's Pacific Northwest).

Any new photos about Wuhan, guys? Big rivers, many lakes and some hills, I must say this city has the most beautiful landscape among all the big cities of inland China. It's a gift of nature.

None of your pictures look like Chicago, period.
Wuhan can be Wuhan, it doesnt need to be Chicago in China.

I think maybe you misunderstand the title of this thread. The first one who say that is Dr. Sun Yat-sen (Sun Zhongshan). In his plan, he wanted Wuhan to be the traffic and business hub of China, connecting both east and west, north and south. After him, people like to call Wuhan "the oriental Chicago", functionally, not physically.

The first one looks like CQ, I have taken it down.

The ancient buildings are located in Wuhan East Lake area. The second is surely a new building of resort hotel or something.

Nice thanks for posting

You are welcome. There's many Wuhan pictures available online. Some more from beijingupdates.com
