How does the Han River join the Yangtze River at Wuhan?

The Han River joins the Yangtze River at the city of Wuhan, where it flows eastward to meet the Yangtze on its north bank.12

This confluence is a defining geographical feature of the Wuhan conurbation, which consists of three former cities: Hankou, Hanyang, and Wuchang. Specifically, Hankou is situated on the north bank of the Yangtze at the mouth of the Han River, while Hanyang lies immediately across the Han River from Hankou. Large bridges span the Han River at this location, connecting Hankou with Hanyang. As the Han River approaches this junction, it narrows sharply, an area that has historically been prone to flooding.21
