Hefei

Nestled in the heart of the province but generally overlooked in the rush to cross the Yangzi and reach Huang Shan, Anhui's capital,
HEFEI
, gets very few chance visitors. An unimportant backwater until being developed as a modest industrial base after 1949, Hefei's sole points of interest are a couple of
historical sites
and an unusually thorough
museum
. However, it's a comfortable place, relatively untouched by the ugly building mania sweeping the rest of the country and dignified by a number of important science and technology colleges. North from Hefei, both
Shouxian
- just about feasible as a day trip from the capital - and
Bozhou
are more historic towns, worth a day's scrutiny on the long haul in or out of the province. Other useful information
