Text description provided by the architects. Situated at the geographical center of China, Wuhan earned the title of the “Gateway to Nine Provinces” as early as the Ming and Qing dynasties. From the ancient Yunmeng wetlands, to Yu the Great diverting the Han River into the Yangtze, and later the river’s course shift in the sixth year of Emperor Chenghua’s reign, the city gradually took shape as today’s “River City.” Renowned as the “City of a Hundred Lakes,” Wuhan is interwoven with rivers, lakes, and waterways, with water areas occupying one quarter of its territory. Evidently, the relationship between “water” and “city” is inseparable.
