Wuhan is described as the "Homeland of White Clouds and Yellow Crane" in the history, The Yangtze River and the Han River join here,dividing the city into three towns:Hankou, Hanyang and Wuchang. Wuhan has many scenic spots and historical sites. Among them are the 2,400 years old Zenghouyi Chime Bells known as one of the world wonders; the 1,700 yearsold Yellow Crane Tower, one of the three famous towers in South China: the East Lake whose natural beauty rivals that of the West Lake in Hangzhou;the TY Tower on Tortois Hill known as the highest mast of Asia; the ancient Guiyuan Temple, and the modern International Amusement Park.

The site of ancient Panlong Town is found in Huangpi County under Wuhan Municipality. An ancient town site left over from the Shang Dynasty 3500 years ago; it is the first one ever discovered in the Changjiang River Basin. Found in an advantageous geographical location, enjoying very convenient communications, Wuhan has long been a commercial and trading center, a strategic point that every militarist world tries his best to get control of. Hankou, historically one of the four well-known towns after it was turned into a foreign port in 1862, had become the largest inland trading port at that time. On October 10, 1911, there was the first shot reverberating over Wuchang, which announced the end of China's long-standing feudal rule lasting for more than 2000 years.
