Huangshan

Home to two UNESCO World Heritage Sites — the granite peaks of Mount Huangshan and the ancient villages of Xidi and Hongcun — this city in southern Anhui Province is one of China's major tourist destinations. The urban core, historically known as Huizhou and still called Tunxi by locals, sits along the upper Xin'an River with a walkable old street, Tunxi Old Street, and a range of cafés and restaurants. The wider prefecture also gave rise to a distinct regional culture encompassing Hui-style architecture, Hui opera, and Hui cuisine.
