Anhui Province is only a few hours’ drive west of Shanghai and about 2 hours’ flight south of Beijing. Although Anhui is located in the east of China, it does not have direct access to the sea.
Anhui is still a very rural province of China with 59,860,000 inhabitants. With 429 inhabitants per square kilometer, Anhui is also the most densely populated province in China.


Anhui is famous for its beautiful landscapes and mountains, such as the Huangshan Mountains.
Anhui Province has a variety of interesting and impressive tourist destinations to offer, which is why Anhui is one of the most visited provinces in China.
The most famous and popular destinations for vacation trips in Anhui are the mountains in the south of the province. The Huangshan (Yellow Mountains or Yellow Mountains) is famous for its hot springs, its canyons washed out by rain, and the mysterious paths and bridges. But above all for its steeply rising, idiosyncratic shaped rocks and the pines growing on them, which grow with their roots directly into the rocks.
