Wuhan is the capital city of Hubei Province in the People's Republic of China. It is the largest city in Hubei and the most populous city in Central China, with a population of over 11 million, the ninth-most populous Chinese city and one of the nine National Central Cities of China.

There are a number of lines or sections under construction. The government of Wuhan City promised the citizens that at least two lines or sections open every year.
