Huangpi District (simplified Chinese: 黄陂; traditional Chinese: 黃陂; pinyin: Huángpí Qū) is one of 13 urban districts of the prefecture-level city of Wuhan, the capital of Hubei Province, China, situated on the northern (left) bank of the Yangtze River. The Sheshui enters the Yangtze at Huangpi. The district is primarily rural, but also includes important infrastructure facilities, such as Wuhan Tianhe International Airport and Wuhan North Railway Station, which is one of the main freight stations and classification yards on the Beijing–Guangzhou Railway. It is the northernmost of Wuhan's districts as well as the most spacious. On the left bank of the Yangtze, it borders the districts of Xinzhou to the east, and Jiang'an to the south, and Dongxihu to the southwest; on the opposite bank, it borders Hongshan. It also borders the prefecture-level cities of Huanggang to the northeast and Xiaogan to the northwest. The Sheshui (She River) enters the Yangtze River at Shekou in Huangpi.

Huangpi in the context of Li Yuanhong

Li Yuanhong (Chinese: ; pinyin: Lí Yuánhóng; Wade–Giles: Li Yüan-hung; courtesy name 宋卿; Sòngqīng; Sung-ch'ing; October 19, 1864 – June 3, 1928) was a prominent Chinese military and political leader of the Qing dynasty and the Republic of China. He was the Provisional Vice President of China from 1912 to 1913 as well as the president of China between 1916 and 1917, and between 1922 and 1923.

He was born in Huangpi, Hubei. Li initially pursued a military career, graduating from the Tianjin Military Academy in 1896. His leadership and military acumen quickly earned him recognition, leading to his involvement in significant historical events, including the 1911 Revolution that ended over two hundred years of Qing rule in China. Li's role in the revolution, particularly his reluctant yet crucial leadership of the Wuchang Uprising, established him as a key figure in the new Republic.
