China - Anhui (Chapter)
The principal draw for visitors to Ānhuī is its well-preserved villages and fantastical mountain scapes. The main attraction of this southern Huīzhōu region 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.
Coverage includes: Túnxī & around, Huīzhōu Villages, Huángshān, Jiǔhuá Shān, and Héféi.
