Discover Bengbu: A Shining Pearl by Huaihe River

Bengbu in northern Anhui province is often dubbed “Pearl City” as it was once a beautiful pearl fishing spot.

Bengbu has been a railway hub in East China since 1911. The city is also the largest port along the 1,000-kilometer Huaihe River, which divides southern and northern China.

Its geographic location has resulted in the city becoming a historic town, an industrial base, as well as a melting pot of cultures and cuisines from the south and the north.
