Anhui

A major East China destination where Huizhou-style ancient villages and the sea of clouds at Huangshan are equally famous, combining scenery, historic architecture and cultural depth between the Yangtze and Huai rivers.

Anhui lies in the heart of East China, crossed by the Yangtze and Huai rivers, with terrain that shifts from the northern Huaibei Plain through the central hills to the mountains of southern Anhui. Southern Anhui is the highlight: Huangshan is famous for its odd pines and rocks, sea of clouds and hot springs; Huizhou-style villages such as Xidi and Hongcun are World Cultural Heritage sites; and Longchuan in Jixi, Guniujiang in Shitai and Jingting Mountain in Xuancheng each have their own character. Jiuhua Mountain is a Buddhist holy mountain, and Bozhou in the north has sites linked to Cao Cao and Hua Tuo. Spring rapeseed blossoms and autumn foliage are the best times to visit. The capital, Hefei, is the main air and high-speed rail hub, while Huangshan Tunxi Airport and the Hefei–Fuzhou and Hangzhou–Huangshan high-speed lines reach southern Anhui directly.
