In the late afternoon, Anqing, Anhui Province, offers one of the most serene views along the Yangtze.

Golden light hits the water as cargo vessels move along the shipping lane, their outlines blurred by the evening mist. From the riverbank, Yingjiang Temple stands as a landmark on the horizon.

There's a quiet magic to watching the sun go down here - one that reflects Anqing's long connection to the Yangtze.
