Historically, along with Chongqing and Nanjing, Wuhan is one of the “three hot cities” along the Yangtze River due to high temperature in summer.
History
As said before, Wuhan is the result of Wuchang, Hanyang and Hankou. The earliest settlement in the area, during the Xi Zhou period (1046–771 BC), was located southeast of Wuchang. It became the capital of the Wu dynasty during the Three Kingdoms (Sanguo) period (220– 280). The original administrative role of Wuchang persisted throughout the Yuan (1206–1368) and Ming (1368–1644) dynasties when it served as the provincial capital.
Hanyang was founded during the Sui dynasty (581–618) but was of little commercial importance. In contrast, Hankou (Xiakou) became famous during the Song Dynasty (960–1279). It was one of the four major commercial cities in China. The opening of Hankou to foreign trade in accordance with the Tianjin treaties (1858) between China, France and the UK gave additional impetus to the commercial and industrial development of these three cities.
