Hanyang District (simplified Chinese:汉阳区;traditional Chinese:漢陽區;pinyin:Hànyáng Qū) forms part of the urban core of and is one of 13 urbandistricts of theprefecture-level city ofWuhan, the capital ofHubei Province, China. Currently, it is a district and stands between theHan River (right/southern bank) and theYangtze River (left/northwestern bank), where the former drains into the latter. It is connected by bridges with its former sister cities,Hankou andWuchang. Presently, on the left bank of the Yangtze, it borders the districts ofQiaokou to the north across the Han River,Jianghan to the northeast,Caidian to the southwest, andDongxihu to the northwest; on the opposite bank it bordersWuchang andHongshan.Guiyuan Temple is located in Hanyang.
The name "Hanyang" means "theYang side of Han River", referring to the town's historic location on the north ("yang") bank of the Han Rivermouth. However, the lower Han Riverchanged course to the north side of the town duringMing dynasty'sChenghua-era. The town, now on the south ("yin") side of the river, should have been renamed to "Hanyin" by naming convention, but the name "Hanyang" remained as it was well-established since theSui dynasty. Administratively, the area formsHanyang District of the modern Wuhan city, with an area of 108 square kilometers (42 sq mi) and a population of 510,000.[4]
TheHanyang Arsenal is known for its production of the so-called "Hanyang rifle" - an indigenous Asian copy of the GermanModel 1888 Commission Rifle, which was heavily used inWorld War II, as well as in theKorean War andVietnam War.
As of 2016, Hanyang District administers eleven subdistricts, one economic development zone and one administrative committee:[5][6]
