Because there was a mountain called “Wan Mountain” and an ancient nation named “Wan” in Spring and Autumn period in Anhui (722 BC–481 BC), “Anhui” is also called “Wan” for short. The Anhui region was one of the earliest areas in the Yangtze basin to be settled by Sinitic peoples. Many of the current linguistic and cultural traits of the region were shaped during the Nan (Southern) Song period (1127–1279), particularly the characteristic conservatism of language and art forms. A number of separate regional subcultures continue to exist, including the Huizhou culture from the region around Shexian, renowned for its commercial and clan traditions. https://www.learnchinesehistory.com/anhui-province/ https://www.britannica.com/place/Anhui/Cultural-life Hui-style Architecture Hui(zhou)-style architecture is one of the traditional Chinese architecture styles, which prevailed mostly in the historical Huizhou prefecture of Anhui, China as a critical element of Huizhou culture. The architecture uses bricks, woods and stone as raw materials, timber frames as significant structures. The bearing structure is a wooden beam, and parapet walls are made of bricks, rocks, and soils. The central room is decorated with painted beams, sculpted roof, and carved eaves with skylights. The technical features and style of Hui-style architecture majorly occur in residential houses, ancestral temples, joss houses, archways, memorial gates, and gardens. The architecture reflects mountainous features of the area and a geomantic omen of traditional Chinese religions. http://www.cits.net/china-travel-guide/hui- style-architecture-representative-of-ancient- chinese-buildings.html MountHefei Huangshan Attractions Huangshan is a mountain range in southern Anhui province in eastern China. As “the loveliest mountain of China”, lies in the south of Anhui province in eastern China. It was called Yishan Mountain in the Qin Dynasty (221-206 BC), and got its current name in 747 during the Tang Dynasty (618-907). Huangshan Mountain is renowned for its magnificent natural scenery, which includes massive granitic boulders and ancient pine trees that are often further enhanced by cloud and mist effects. This dramatic landscape includes formations of natural stone pillars, grotesquely-shaped rocks, waterfalls, caves, lakes and hot springs, formed by its complex geological history. Over the past 40 years, Huangshan tourism has achieved a historic leap from scratch, becoming a benchmark city for China's tourism, a world-class tourist destination, and a wonderful and vivid epitome of China's reform and opening up. Today, Huangshan City receives nearly 3 million overseas tourists every year. https://www.chinahighlights.com/huangshan/ http://en.chinaculture.org/2017-07/19/content_1039994.htm https://www.airpano.com/360photo/China-Huangshan/ Hefei Attractions Hefei is the capital and largest city of the Chinese province of Anhui.
