Welcome to Ānhuī
Fantastical mountainscapes and well preserved villages make Ānhuī (安徽) the perfect antidote to the brashness of China’s larger cities. The main attraction is unquestionably Huángshān, a jumble of sheer granite cliffs wrapped in cottony clouds that inspired an entire school of ink painting during the 17th and 18th centuries. But the often overlooked peaks of nearby Jiǔhuá Shān, where Buddhists bless the souls of the recently departed, have a hallowed aura that offers a strong contrast to Huángshān’s stunning natural scenery.
