WUHAN, Oct. 10 (Xinhua) -- Wuhan, capital of central China's Hubei Province, is a megacity located at the confluence of the Yangtze River and its longest tributary the Han River.

The 1911 Revolution, starting with gunfire in Wuchang, now part of Wuhan City, on Oct. 10, 1911, was the national democratic revolution launched by Chinese revolutionaries represented by Dr. Sun Yat-sen. The revolution brought down the Qing government and brought about the establishment of Asia's first republic.

China held a high-profile meeting on Saturday to mark the 110th anniversary of the Revolution of 1911 that ended the thousands-year-long absolute monarchy in the country.
