Live Your Best Lives
Hefei is located in the center of Anhui Province and is the capital of Anhui Province. It is named after the confluence of the Fei and Shi rivers. With a history of more than 2,000 years, Hefei is known as the "old land of the Three Kingdoms and the hometown of Bao Zheng". Because Hefei County was established in the Qin Dynasty, Hefei has always been the seat of Luzhou Prefecture from the Sui Dynasty to the Ming and Qing Dynasties, so it is also called "Luzhou" and "Luyang".
In most people's impressions, Hefei is just an ordinary city. However, when you actually come to Hefei, and see the parks full of flowers, the bustling streets and the busy food stalls, you will definitely feel the tranquility and freedom behind this ordinary life; at sunset, the old men playing cards and chess, the women chatting and the teenagers chasing and playing on the street - these familiar scenes seem to have disappeared in the busy city, but they are played almost every day in Hefei. The warm memories of the past can't help but make people fall in love with the leisurely life in this city.
Luyang District: The old city of Hefei, where you can find highlights such as Li Hongzhang's former residence and Xiaoyaojin Park, as well as popular shopping places such as Chenghuang Temple and Huaihe Road Pedestrian Street.
Baohe District: The famous Bao Park in Hefei is located in this district, and Wanda Plaza, a popular shopping place, is also located here.
Yaohai District: A new urban area in Hefei, where Liu Mingchuan's former residence, Yaohai Park and other attractions are located. There is also Happy Island and Hefei Hanhai Polar Ocean World, which are suitable for family outings.
Shushan District: Hefei's economic development zone, which is dominated by natural attractions. In the south there are Hui Garden, Pearl Square and European Style Street, in the west there are Shushan Forest Park, Wildlife Park, Swan Lake, in the north there are Dongpu Reservoir, Hefei Botanical Garden, Jianghuai Style Garden, etc., all of which are good places for leisure and entertainment.
The best time to travel is in spring and autumn. In spring, Xinghua Park and Niujiao Daxu Scenic Area are bustling with bees and butterflies. Visitors can go there to enjoy the flowers and take photos. In autumn, when the clouds are light and the wind is gentle, Zipeng Mountain and Dashu Mountain Forest Park on the outskirts of the city are good places to climb and look far into the distance. Of course, wandering in Sanhe Ancient Town, boating in Chaohu Lake and Daishan Lake, feeling the humanities and enjoying the beautiful scenery are also good choices.
In spring, due to the frequent movement of cold and warm air, Hefei's weather is sometimes sunny and sometimes rainy, and the temperature changes abnormally. In addition to wearing rain gear, you can wear thin sweaters and cotton jackets; autumn is the shortest season in Hefei, and the temperature drops quickly. When traveling, you should add or remove clothes according to the actual temperature to avoid catching a cold.
Hefei's consumption level is above average compared to other provincial capitals in China, and prices are not very low. If you choose a self-guided tour during non-holidays, accommodation costs are about 100-200 yuan per night, and meals cost about 50 yuan per person. In addition to buying special tourist souvenirs, an average daily expenditure of 200-300 yuan is basically enough.
