Qiaokou District (simplified Chinese: 硚口区; traditional Chinese: 礄口區; pinyin: Qiáokǒu Qū) forms part of the urban core of and 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 Han River. Along with Dongxihu, it is the only district of Wuhan to not have any shoreline along the Yangtze River, and it borders Dongxihu to the north, Jianghan to the east, and Hanyang to the south across the Han River. 'Qiaokou' is used as an example of the usage of the rarely used character 礄/硚 in the Contemporary Chinese Dictionary.[5] It is said that the character 'qiao' refers to stone bridges constructed over the Han River in the Late Qing.[6][7] The district is part of the historical Hankou.

据说用"硚"作地名的，仅湖北武汉市"硚口"和四川自贡市"硚头"而已。其中湖北武汉的"硚口"源于明末建石桥而得名。...后在两河（玉带河和护城河）上总共修筑了37座石桥和木桥，其中有两座石桥因架于玉带河和护城河通往汉水处，分称大、小硚口。而这两座桥因均为石砌，故写作石旁"硚"。至于那两座桥叫什么名字？已无从查考。
