Why does Wuhan take a very cautious attitude towards the development of the south bank mouth at the junction of the Yangtze River and the Han River

In the city center of Wuhan, the largest city in central China, there is an oasis in the shape of a peninsula. It is the product of the intimate "embrace" between the Yangtze River and its largest tributary, the Han River. This oasis is affectionately called "Nan'anzui" by the Wuhan people. Don't underestimate this mouth on the south bank, because it is located at the intersection of the Yangtze River, the largest river in China, and the Han River, the largest tributary of the Yangtze River. The angle between the two rivers has the reputation of "the first corner of China" in China's geographical concept. Others say that Nan'anzui is the elixir of China, which means that this is the place where China's energy and strength are most concentrated.
The Nan'anzui at the intersection of the Yangtze River and the Han River in Hanyang District, Wuhan, which we see now, has become Wuhan Nan'anzui Park. But before 1998 and 2000, there was a large residential area on this peninsula, and there was also a commercial street called "Gaogong Street". In the 1980s, this street was 180 meters long and 5.5 meters wide, with asphalt pavement, which could be used for cars. Because it was located at the intersection of the Yangtze River and the Han River, it was once renamed Jianghe Street. Later, due to the precaution construction and scenic area construction in Nan'anzui, the streets and alleys here were also demolished, all residents were relocated to other places, and the streets and residential areas became parks and green spaces.

At present, residents in Nan'anzui, Hanyang, Wuhan have been relocated for more than 20 years. The former Nan'anzui residential area has become Nan'anzui Park. Many foreign tourists and Wuhan citizens have come to this "China Corner" to visit and clock in. Many experienced tourists have raised thought-provoking questions: Wuhan Nan'anzui is the place where China's largest river, the Yangtze River, meets its largest tributary, the Han River, This is the most massive intersection of the two rivers in China. Why has Shanghai built the core functional area of the international financial center at the intersection of the Huangpu River and the Wusong River, and Chongqing built the landmark Chaotianmen at the intersection of the Jialing River and the Yangtze River? Why is there no movement at the south bank of Wuhan?
In 2018, the central media reported the reason why Wuhan Nan'anzui had not been developed for 17 years. A planner in Wuhan said that Nan'anzui covers an area of 180 mu and has been under control for 17 years. After relocation in 2000, the land has not been developed. This is mainly to ensure the ecological priority and green development concept of the Yangtze River Economic Belt, so that Nan'anzui, which has been waiting for 17 years, has a development direction. The next development of Nan'anzui is greening and beautifying, and carrying out comprehensive ecological management, and finally becoming a good place for citizens to enjoy leisure and water. The planner's introduction has shown that the ultimate goal of Nan'anzui is the park.

Why is this peninsula green land at the junction of Wuhan Yangtze River and Han River called Nan'anzui? Nan'anzui belongs to Qingchuan Street, Hanyang District. A main street runs from Xima Long Street to the ferry terminal on the Hanjiang River. On the other side of the Hanjiang River is the famous Hanzheng Street in Hankou. Because all the residents live in the corner between the Yangtze River and the Han River, the residential area is located in the south of the Han River, so the residential area is called Nan'anzui. In fact, Nan'anzui used to be the place most threatened by the flood of the Yangtze River in summer because of its low-lying terrain. Now, due to the role of the Three Gorges Project, Nan'anzui has basically said goodbye to the flood threat.
As early as 2016, Hubei Province accelerated the preparation of the Hubei Yangtze River Economic Belt Ecological Protection and Green Development Plan to guide the construction of the "Ecological Yangtze River". The concept of "leaving blank" proposed by Hubei Province in the integrated development of Yangtze River shoreline resources refers to the protection and temporary non development of some Yangtze River shoreline resources that do not meet the development conditions according to the needs of unified planning and economic and social development. That is to say, at present, the south bank mouth at the junction of Wuhan Yangtze River and Han River has priority in protection and will not be developed until there is a particularly good development plan. All this is to leave the best south bank mouth to people all over the world in the future.
