Wuhan's Thirteen Districts + Optics Valley武汉十三区+光谷

Thirteen official districts across the "Three Towns" (Hankou, Wuchang, Hanyang), plus Optics Valley — the tech development zone overlapping Hongshan and Jiangxia, not an official district but the city's expat and tech centre of gravity.

Metro Lines & Stations地铁线路与车站

Twelve operating lines. Lines 8 and 19 are shown as partial — the source research didn't have a complete station-by-station list for their full length, so they're flagged rather than guessed at.
