Situated in Shexian county, Anhui province, the Ancient Huizhou Culture Tourism Zone borders Huangshan Mountain on the north and Qiandao (Thousand-island) Lake on the south.

It has five major scenic spots: Ancient Huizhou Town, the Garden of the Bao Family together with Tangyue Memorial Archways, the ancient villages at Tangmo and Chengkan and the ancient folk residences in Qiankou village.

Huizhou Ancient Town is the cradle of the Huizhou culture. Along with Pingyao in Shanxi province, Lijiang in Yunnan province and Langzhong in Sichuan province, it is listed as one of China’s four best-preserved ancient towns.

Huizhou culture refers to a civilization that originated in southern Anhui. It combines the local ethos, the Confucian school of idealistic philosophy, and commercialism.

In mountainous areas, the temperature varies greatly between day and night, so it is strongly suggested that visitors bring along a coat.
