Huangshi

Huangshi is a prefecture-level city in southeastern Hubei province, China, set along the southwestern bank of a major bend in the Yangtze River about 100 kilometers southeast of Wuhan and bordering Jiangxi province to the south. The 2020 census counted 2,469,079 residents in the prefecture, of whom about 1,567,108 lived in the built-up area made up of four urban districts and the city of Daye. The administrative area covers roughly 4,583 square kilometers of small mountains, hills and dozens of large lakes. The city is an important logistics and transport hub thanks to the river, major rail lines and its closeness to Wuhan, and it is nicknamed the Southern Cornucopia for its metal and mineral wealth, which includes iron, copper, gold and tungsten. Metallurgy, cement, textiles and food processing are leading industries, and two Yangtze bridges link its banks.
