Amazing China in 60 Seconds: Anhui

East China's Anhui province, a poetic land of ancient towns, verdant mountains and green rivers, never finds itself short of tourism resources.

It's home to UNESCO world heritage sites such as the Huangshan Mountain, Xidi and Hongcun ancient villages, and part of the Grand Canal.

Anhui is also renowned for its rich cultural heritage. The Xuan paper produced here, for example, has been widely used in Chinese calligraphy and painting since ancient times.

Amazing China in 60 Seconds is a short-video series covering cultural and scenic hotspots across the country.
