Jiangxia District (simplified Chinese:江夏区;traditional Chinese:江夏區;pinyin:Jiāngxià Qū) is one of 13 urbandistricts of theprefecture-level city ofWuhan, the capital ofHubei province,China, situated on the eastern (right) bank of theYangtze River. Jiangxia district has an area of 2,009 square kilometres (776 sq mi) and a population of 1,308,469 in 2020.[5] It is the southernmost and most sparsely populated of Wuhan's districts.[3] It borders the districts ofCaidian andHannan across the Yangtze andHongshan to the north, as well as theprefecture-level cities ofEzhou to the east,Huangshi to the southeast, andXianning to the south.
Unlike most other districts into which the City of Wuhan is divided, Jingxia, until recently included no part of Wuhan's main urban core. However, in the first decades of the 21st century urban development in the southeastern part of Wuhan's urban area (south of Guanggu Circle) has spilled over from Hongshan District into Jiangxia District as well.
Most of Jiangxia District still consists of the rural area south of the Wuhan city center. Jingxia has its own urban core, which is a large residential area called Zhifang (纸坊) some 20 kilometres (12 mi) south of Wuhan proper.
The Longquanshan Scenic Area (龙泉山), which contains the tombs of the Ming Princes of Chu (Wuchang-based descendants of theHongwu Emperor) is located in the northeastern part of Jiangxi District.[6] That area must have been quite rural, and remote from the provincial capital,Wuchang, in the Ming days; but today's Wuhan has spread to within a few kilometers of Longquanshan.
