| ANHUI PROVINCE | |
| The history of Anhui is not long as a province. Different from the soft style of south Anhui, there are plenty of legends of knights-errants. | |

| MOUNT HUANGSHAN | ||||
| Huangshan, known as "the loveliest mountain of China", was acclaimed through art and literature during a good part of Chinese history (the Shanshui "mountain and water" style of the mid-16th century). Today it holds the same fascination for visitors, poets, painters and photographers who come in pilgrimage to this enchanting site, renowned for its magnificent scenery made up of many granite peaks and rocks emerging out of a sea of clouds. | ||||
| ANCIENT VILLAGES | ||||
| The two traditional villages of Xidi and Hongcun preserve to a remarkable extent the appearance of non-urban settlements of a type that largely disappeared or was transformed during the last century. Their street plan, their architecture and decoration, and the integration of houses with comprehensive water systems are unique surviving examples. | ||||
