Anfeng Ancient Town

安丰古镇

A well-preserved Ming and Qing salt-industry town, with merchant houses lining its Seven-Li Long Street. It is the hometown of Wang Gen, founder of the Taizhou School.

Anfeng Ancient Town lies in southern Dongtai. Historically it was an important salt field of the Huainan region. Its Seven-Li Long Street, paved with bluestone slabs, is lined with Ming and Qing residences, salt merchant mansions and guild halls. It is the birthplace of Wang Gen, founder of the Taizhou School. The town has a lived-in feel and fewer tourists. It is free to enter and suits a slow stroll with photos. Allow about 1.5 hours, and it can be combined with Xixi Ancient Town on the same day.
