Hi, everyone. Today I am very glad to be here to introduce my hometown for you. Wuhu, Anhui Province.

This is the landmark of Wuhu, Jiuzi Square. Jiuzi is a God bird.
There are lots of mountains, such as Yellow Mountain, Jiuhua Mountain and so on. The fifth largest freshwater lake—Chaohu is also in Anhui. The people are very friendly.
The Yellow Mountain is One of the China‘s most beautiful and impressive mountains. A notable tourist, Xu Xiake wrote a famous poem: 五岳归来不看山,黄山归来不看岳. That meant, after visiting the five holy mountains I decided not to see the other mountains, but after my return from the yellow Mount. I don’t care even to glance at the five holy mountains. ——Xu Xiake
This is typical scenery of the Yellow Mount—sunrise, absurd stones, sea of clouds, peaks.
Xidi and Hongcun are villages with Hui-style Architecture in Yi County, Anhui province, near the southwest slope of the Yellow Mount, the villages are World Heritage sites (世界文化遗产). Because the scenery here is very beautiful, Many people come to here to paint from nature. My family and I have also traveled here in 2018.
