What is Anhui like? Compared with its neighboring provinces such as Henan and Jiangsu, there seems to be a lack of a word to describe it in general. When talking about Anhui, the ancient Huizhou area in the south is always inaccessible, while other places are rarely mentioned. Is there really no sense of existence in Anhui outside of ancient Huizhou?

1. Where is Anhui?

The location of Anhui is not uncommon, but the public is more familiar with the “Nine Provinces” in Hubei next door.

Anhui is located in East China, bordering Henan, Shandong, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Jiangxi and Hubei. The Yangtze River passes through the province in the south, and the Huai River in the north makes Anhui a province spanning north and south of China.

The hills and mountains in Anhui Province account for 2/3 of the province’s area, and the main mountains are concentrated in the southwest and south. The river divides the central and northern parts into the Central Anhui Plain and the Huaihe Plain.

The changes in the organizational system have made the establishment of the provincial capitals of Anhui even more legendary. Except for today’s Hefei, Anhui’s “predecessor” provincial capital has also spent time in Anqing, Wuhu, Bengbu, Lu’an, and Huangshan.

In the place names of the 16 cities in Anhui, there is always something unreasonable.

Huangshan people linger in the rich cultural heritage behind the word “Huizhou“; Hefei people never forget the moonlight of Luzhou; Fuyang, it sounds better than Ouyang Xiu The nostalgia for Yingzhou is attractive.

The local people have a lot of grievances, but the cost of renaming prefecture-level cities is huge, and the names of those literary and artistic fans can only become “white moonlight” in their hearts.

Three, neglected shipping area?

Anhui’s obscurity is so obscure that the public almost forgets it. The “postage area” we often talk about is essentially the four provinces and cities of Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Shanghai and Anhui.

In East China, where economic performance is very dazzling, Anhui looks a little bleak. Among the seven provinces and cities, Anhui ranks sixth in GDP.

However, Anhui is rich in agricultural products and is an important production base for pollution-free agricultural products and green food in the country. Among them, the northern part of Anhui is the “handling” of agricultural production in the province.

Cities such as Hefei and Wuhu in central Anhui have supported the facades of economy and technology. Southern Anhui has polished the golden signboard of beautiful tourism.

It’s like the kind of students in the class who don’t talk too much, trying hard to catch up with students with better grades.

In the “Outline of the Yangtze River Delta Regional Integration Development Plan” released in 2019, Anhui has become an indispensable part of the integration of the Yangtze River Delta.

In 2013, the “Anhui-East Power Transmission” project was put into use, and Huainan became an energy base in East China. For every 4 tons of coal used in the Yangtze River Delta, 1 ton comes from Huainan.

In 2019, the G60 Science and Technology Innovation Corridor was included in the “Outline of the Yangtze River Delta Regional Integrated Development Plan” and became an important part of the national strategy. It aims to build a road to promote the exchange of urban science and technology resources with the help of the G60 highway. Channel. The first line from Shanghai to Hangzhou in the early days has gradually expanded to today’s two passages, west and south.

Hefei is the key node in this corridor. Here is the first to establish the Yangtze River Delta G60 Science and Innovation Corridor Industrial Cooperation Demonstration Park, and Hefei Luyang Big Data Industrial Park was awarded the G60 Science and Innovation Corridor Industrial Internet Benchmark Park.

As one of my country’s four major science and education cities and one of the three comprehensive science centers, Hefei has 12 state key laboratories. my country’s first window air conditioner, the first microcomputer, and the world’s first VCD were all born here.

In the “Charming China—The Most Attractive Chinese City in the Eyes of Foreign Talents” published by the Ministry of Science and Technology and selected by foreigners, Hefei ranked third for two consecutive years, second only to Shanghai and Beijing.

This city, is low-key and reveals advanced.

Four, what do you play in Anhui?

Speaking of tourist attractions in Anhui, Huangshan and Hui-style dwellings in southern Anhui must be among the best. The strange mountain ranges in the south and southwest have shaped the most mountain and lake landscapes in Anhui Province.
