On April 7, 2010, I will leave for a an 18 day trip to China to study China's education system as part of the China Exchange Initiative. I have created this blog to document that trip for the Licking Valley School District community and my family. I invite you to join me on my journey to this incredible country and culture.
Wuhan is the capital of Hubei Province, People's Republic of China, and is the most populous city in central China. It lies at the east of Jianghan Plain, and the intersection of the middle reaches of the Yangtze and Han Rivers. 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. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wuhan
