Chuzhou

Home to the Old Drunkard's Pavilion of "Hills surround Chuzhou on all sides," the city combines Langya Mountain scenery with Ming dynasty imperial tomb remains.

Chuzhou lies in eastern Anhui, right next to Nanjing in Jiangsu, and is the gateway to eastern Anhui. The Langya Mountain scenic area southwest of the city became famous through Ouyang Xiu's "Record of the Old Drunkard's Pavilion," and historic sites such as the Old Drunkard's Pavilion and Langya Temple survive today. Fengyang County has the Ming Imperial Tombs and the Ming Zhongdu site, and is also home to Xiaogang Village. Spring brings mountain wildflowers and autumn brings forests of red leaves, both fine times to visit. The Beijing–Shanghai high-speed railway passes through Chuzhou, and the ride from Nanjing is very short, making it ideal for a weekend getaway.
