Organized by Anhui Provincial Commission of Tourism Development, the center provides customers with a variety of tourist routes, including "Ancient Anhui Tour," "Anhui Cultural Tour" and "Mt. Huangshan Tour."

"For people who are keen in China and Chinese culture, Anhui is a must-see destination," said Wan Yixue, head of Anhui Provincial Commission of Tourism Development.

Located in east part of China, Anhui is home to dozens of key scenic spots. In addition to the beautiful mountain scenery, the well-preserved ancient villages in the southern part are derived from the Ming and Qing Dynasties. Every year, Anhui intrigues and astonishes tourists with its marvelous scenery and centuries-old cultural relics. It is also well known for its various craftworks, such as rice paper, ink stone and Chinese ink.
