This article appears in Volume V28, Page 854 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: WIL-YAK
WUCHANG , the
capital
  of the combined provinces of Hup-eh and Hu-nan,
China
 . It is one of the three cities, Wuchang, Hanyang and Hankow, which stand together at the mouth of the Han river, and is situated on the right bank of the river Yangtsze, almost directly opposite the foreign
settlement
  of Hankow. It is the seat of the provincial government of the two Hu or Hu-kwang, as these provinces are collectively termed, at the head of which is a viceroy. Next to
Nanking
  and
Canton
 , it is one of the most important vice-royalties in the
empire
 . It possesses an arsenal and a mint. The provincial government has established ironworks for the manufacture of rails and other railway material. As the works did not pay under official management, they were transferred to the director-general of railways. Wuchang is not open to foreign
trade
  and residence, but a considerable number of missionaries, both Roman Catholic and
Protestant
 , live within the walls. The native
population
  is estimated at 800,000, including cities on both banks. Wuchang is an important junction on the trunk railway from Peking to
Canton
 ; and is on the route of the Sze-ch'uen railway.
