About Huizhou Culture

Huizhou culture has deep roots and is considered one of the major regional studies of China, alongside the studies of Tibet and Dunhuang. A visit to the Huangshan area is usually made of two parts: the mountain scenery on top, and the old Huizhou civilization at its foot. This day tour focuses on the second part.
