Chizhou

Chizhou is a prefecture-level city in the southwest of Anhui province, just south of the Yangzte River. It is an ideal holiday destination, offering beautiful scenery and a large number of historical attractions. They include Mount Jiuhua, one of the four sacred mountains of Chinese Buddhism, which is home to around 100 temples and 1000 monks and nuns. Chizhou is also situated next to Guniujiang Nature Reserve, which contains many species of plants and animals and is often referred to as Eastern China's 'gene pool'. Shengjin Lake is another popular attraction, known for its crystal-clear water. The lake is one of Asia's most important wetland habitats.
