A Marked Map

Wuhan

semi-overcast

Thought you might like a few locations so I'll try to pinpoint them. Google maps has NO street information for Wuhan, and very few cities marked either... so I'll have to make do with satellite images, but fortunately for Wuhan they're pretty clear. I've created a custom map and will update it as time goes on. This is my first time sharing the map so I hope this works:

Google Personal Map

You can see Wuhan straddles the Changjiang river (Yangtze river), where the Han river flows into it. This divides the city into three parts (which were actually three cities before bridges and administrative authority united them first in 1927). Hankou (kou = mouth) is the part identified on the Google map as Wuhan, northwest of the Changjiang and north of the Han river. The southeast third of the city is called Wuchang, and is home to the education and government centers. The southwest third is called Hanyang is more industrial than the others.

I'll be adding more to the map as time goes on, and events transpire.
