Wuhan is the largest city in China

Wuhan is one of the six megacities in China.

The other five are Beijing, Shanghai, Tianjin, Guangzhou and Shenyang. After Chongqing was promoted to a municipality directly under the Central Government, its area was larger than the other three municipalities combined. However, the current economic influence of the city is still limited to the southwest corner.

Wuhan’s written records can be traced back to the Spring and Autumn Period, and its history is much longer than that of Beijing. When it comes to cultural heritage, it has lasted for two thousand years from "only Chu has talent and is prosperous" to the current number of universities ranking second in the country.

Even libraries, the Hubei Province Map and Wuhan City Map located in Wuhan are among the top six libraries in the country. No other city is so proud.
