HANKOU

'Hankou' (; Wade-Giles: Hankow) is one of the three towns, together with Wuchang and Hanyang, which are included in modern day Wuhan, the capital of the Hubei province, China. Along with the other two sister towns, it stands at the mouth of the Han River, where it merges with the Yangtze.
Hankou is the main port of Hubei province.
Hankou used to have five colonial concessions from the United Kingdom, France, Russia, Germany and Japan. The German and Russian concessions were administered by the Chinese government after the First World War. The British left in 1927 after Chinese nationalist riots. The French and Japanese left after the Second World War.
