Xuancheng

The home of Chinese calligraphy supplies in southeastern Anhui, Xuancheng pairs Li Bai's Jingting Mountain and Peach Blossom Pool with Huizhou-style ancient villages.

Xuancheng lies in southeastern Anhui, next to Jiangsu and Zhejiang. It produces Xuan paper and Xuan brushes and is known as the "Home of the Four Treasures of the Study." Jingting Mountain is famous for Li Bai's line "We look at each other and never tire." Jing County has Peach Blossom Pool and Xuan paper culture, Jixi is one of the birthplaces of Hui cuisine, and the Hu Ancestral Hall in Longchuan has exquisite wood carvings, while Guangde has karst cave sights such as Taiji Cave. Spring flowers and autumn foliage are the best sights. You can reach Xuancheng by high-speed rail, and it is not far from Nanjing or Hangzhou.
