As said before, Wuhan is the result of Wuchang, Hanyang and Hankou. The earliest settlement in the area, during the Xi Zhou period (1046–771 BC), was located southeast of Wuchang. It became the capital of the Wu dynasty during the Three Kingdoms (Sanguo) period (220– 280). The original administrative role of Wuchang persisted throughout the Yuan (1206–1368) and Ming (1368–1644) dynasties when it served as the provincial capital.
Hanyang was founded during the Sui dynasty (581–618) but was of little commercial importance. In contrast, Hankou (Xiakou) became famous during the Song Dynasty (960–1279). It was one of the four major commercial cities in China. The opening of Hankou to foreign trade in accordance with the Tianjin treaties (1858) between China, France and the UK gave additional impetus to the commercial and industrial development of these three cities.
Modern world

History of Harbin
Northeast China originally was built as an industrial center using already existing Soviet and Japanese factories. By the 1980s outdated and inefficient factories couldn’t keep up with the times. To further make the situation even more difficult, significant numbers of workers were fired since the early 1990s. Because of it, modern Harbin grapples with an aging workforce and unemployment.
Private enterprises primarily focused on the service sector, retail trade and restaurants. However, thousands of state-owned enterprises are being sold in the province. Many of them have been acquired since the late 1990s. Numerous Harbin universities play a vital role in spheres of economics, education and researches.

Foreigners living in Harbin mainly come from Siberia, Korea, USA, Australia and, in general, from Europe. Over the past 5 years, the population became increasingly diversified.

The prestigious Harbin Institue of Technology has a number of African and Middle Eastern students.
