Everyone knows that our current capital is Beijing, but when the Qing government just collapsed, there were actually several cities that were candidates for the capital. These cities are Wuchang, Guangzhou, Shanghai and Nanjing. Wuchang used to be an independent city, but now it has merged with Hankou and Hanyang to form Wuhan. The famous Revolution of 1911 in China's modern history began in Wuchang. This city is of great historical significance, superior geographical location and convenient transportation, so it almost became our capital that year.

The second city was Guangzhou, which was quite developed at that time. Foreign trade here is very prosperous, and many foreigners do business here. There are many ports in Guangzhou, and the sea traffic is very convenient. Many foreigners run schools here, and many missionaries come here to teach western culture and scientific knowledge. Compared with inland cities, Guangzhou at that time was already very prosperous. ?

The third place is Shanghai, which developed very well in those years, just like Paris in the East. Although other places are at war, Shanghai has been relatively peaceful. There are many foreign buildings and excellent ports here. At that time, Shanghai was the largest foreign trade city in China, and now it is also a big city that everyone yearns for.

The fourth place is Nanjing, which has a history of thousands of years. Many dynasties built their capitals here, and the cultural background is very profound, so Nanjing was also chosen when considering the capital at that time. However, after comprehensive consideration, the government finally chose Beijing as our capital.
