Home : China Guide : Anhui Province : Wuhu

Wuhu, Anhui Province, ChinaWuhu lies on the confluence of the Qingyi River and the Yangtze River in southeast Anhui Province. It is an important port and the junction of the Nanjing-Wuhu, Wuhu-Tongling, and Bengbu-Yuxikou railways. The city has iron and steel, machine building, electric power, shipbuilding, chemical, and light industries. It is also famous for such arts and crafts as iron pictures and embossed lacquer pictures.

Guangji Temple
Standing on the southwest foot of Zheshan Hill in the city, Guangji Temple was built during the reign of the Emperor Qian Ning (894-897) of the Tang Dynasty.

At that time, pilgrims on their way to Mount Jiuhua stopped here to pay their tribute first, so the hill became known as Little Mount Jiuhua.

The buildings were erected against the slope in three tiers. The Zheta Pagoda at the rear of the temple is claimed to be one of the eight most beautiful sights in Wuhu.

It is said that a priceless gold seal is stored somewhere inside the temple.

Sacred Hill (Shenshan)
This hill in the city is said to be where Gan Jiang, a famous blacksmith of the Chu State of the Spring and Autumn Period (770-476 BC), made swords. His tomb is on the hill, as are Sword Grinding Rock (Dijianshi) and Sword Hardening Pool (Cuijianchi).

Reddish Brown Hill (Zheshan),Wuhu,Anhui Province, ChinaReddish Brown Hill (Zheshan) 
A folktale has it that the fire in Gan Jiang's furnace gave this hill the reddish color for which it was named.

From Pavilion for a Panoramic View (Yilanting) at the top of the hill, visitors can see the city below and watch the junks on the bustling river and the flocks of birds flying over the water.
