WEDZ is one of the regions in Wuhan with a large foreign population. In recent years, a batch of high-quality international education, healthcare and shopping mall projects settled in the zone, making it more convenient for expatriates to live and work happily.
So far, the city is home to four international schools, and three of them are based in WEDZ.
