Covering an area of nearly 140,000 square
kilometers and has a population of 68 million people, there are many famous
attractions in Anhui.
Among those well-known resorts, I selected 3 most visited by tourists.
Fengyang
Royal Mausoleum of the Ming Dynasty
Built during the second year of the reign
of Emperor Hongwu, this mausoleum is the tomb of the parents of Zhu Yuanzhang,
the first emperor of the Ming Dyansty. It is rank first among all the existing
royal mausoleums and has a great influence upon the consequent buildings in
structural arrangement, scales, skills and styles.
As time goes by, most of the buildings have
been seriously damaged. Being a majestic complex, there are three walls
surrounded the mausoleum. Hundreds of houses were built for officials to rest
when they held their ancestor cult there.
There are 32 pairs of stone carvings left
and they were vividly sculpted and reflect the exquisite carving techniques of
the Ming Dynasty. Most importantly, they are of great historical and cultural
value and have become the national key cultural relic protection units.
Tianzhu Mountain
Tianzhu Mountain, also known as
the Wan Mountain,
is situated within the boundaries of Qianshan County,
Anhui Province of China. Also it is the source of Anhui. It got its name
for the reason that it looks like a giant pillar soaring into the sky and the
literal meaning of “Tianzhu” in Chinese.
The main scenic spot covers 82.46 square
kilometers. The peaks here are all majestic, stones are all odd, and rivers are
all elegant. In addition, it is also rich in man-made scenery and it was the
place where the story “peacocks flying to the southeast” occurred that makes
you lost in wild and fanciful thoughts.
Tourists who travel to Tianzhu Mountain
will be stunned by the natural landscapes.
Chaohu Lake
As the fifth largest freshwater lake in China, Chaohu Lake
covers a circumference of 400 kilometers and located in the middle of Anhui
Proince. With a bird’s nest shape, it is reputed as the Oriental Geneva for its
location in the golden Triangle of Anhui.
Chaohu is a scenic spot of national level,
and it concentrates a vivid description of the picturesque landscapes of this
famous and time-honored lake.
The aquatic resources in Chaohu are
abundant, the silver fish, small shrimps and crabs are popular both at home and
abroad. Chaohu has exquisite scenery, with mists and waves stretching far into
the horizon.
If time permit, you’d better visit all of
them during your Anhui
China tour.
