Cities & Districts — Wuhan for the Foreign Community
Wuhan treated the same way as the rest of the network — thirteen districts plus Optics Valley (光谷), the tech zone that overlaps Hongshan and Jiangxia, the metro system with a working route planner, and Tianhe International Airport.
Key Facts
01 · Districts
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.
02 · Every Line, Every Station
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.
