Along with the other two sister towns, it stands at the mouth of the Han River, where it merges with the Yangtze.

Hanyang District has an area of 108 square kilometers and a population of 510,000. [zh [http://www.hanyang.gov.cn/informations/areainfos.asp Profile of Hanyang] , Official website of Hanyang District Government, visited on April 19, 2008.]

The Hanyang Arsenal is known for its production of the so-called "Hanyang rifle" - an indigenous Asian copy of the German Model 1888 Commission Rifle, which was heavily used in WW2, as well as in the Korean and Vietnam conflicts.
