Wuhan is the capital of Hubei province, and is the most populous city in central China. It lies at the confluence of the Yangtze and Han River. It has a population of approximately 9,100,000 people in the year 2006. In the 1920s, Wuhan was the capital of a leftist Chinese Nationalist government led by Wang Jingwei in opposition to Chiang Kai-shek. The metropolitan area consists of three parts Wuchang, Hankou and Hanyang, commonly called the three towns of Wuhan. The area was first settled more than 3,000 years ago. During the Han Dynasty, Hanyang became a fairly busy port. In the 3rd century A.D, Anno Domini, walls were built to protect Hanyang and Wuchang in AD 223.
