The Wuhan Metro, serving one of China’s major central cities, began operation in 2004. Despite its recent founding, it has rapidly expanded into a vast, modern network. Uniquely built to span the Yangtze River, it connects the three historic towns of Wuhan—Wuchang, Hankou, and Hanyang. It's a vital piece of infrastructure for this fast-growing megacity, offering an efficient and clean mode of urban transportation.
