Tips

culture

Wuhan's northernmost and largest district by area. Home to Mount Mulan (木兰山), traditionally associated with the legendary female warrior Hua Mulan (花木兰). Wuhan Tianhe International Airport sits on the Huangpi–Huangpi border. Note: the character 陂 has several readings — in this place name it is pí.

mistakes

Read Huángpí, not Huángbēi or Huángpō. 陂 has three readings: bēi ("embankment"), pí (in this place name), and pō (old form of 坡 "slope"). Only pí is correct for 黄陂.
