Hefei
Hefei is the provincial capital of Anhui Province and is home to 1.5 million people. It is a pleasant city with scenic lakes, parks and bustling markets.
Anhui Provincial Museum is a fascinating museum full of bronze statues and Han Dynasty tomb rubbings. It also exhibits some ancient examples of the wooden architectural style commonly found in the surrounding area.
Built in the Tang Dynasty, over a thousand years ago, the Mingjiao Temple houses over thirty Buddhist statues and is still used today by the local Buddhist residents.
The most famous park in Hefei, Baohe Park circles the old city walls of Hefei. Inside the park is an attractive lake, arched bridges, a memorial temple and Lord Bao’s Tomb.
Located in Baohe Park, Lord Bao’s Tomb is named after a famous official who lived during the Song Dynasty. He was a judge and had the final say in all important rulings. His name now stands for incorruptibility and rectitude.
