The nearest 2 provincial capital cities in China, the city center is less than 190 kilometers away, and the high-speed rail is 1 hour away.
If you ask me, besides Jiangsu, where is my favorite province, I think I can tell you for sure, Tibet, Xinjiang, Anhui, etc. But if you ask me to choose a province that I often go to, of course I will choose Anhui without hesitation. I like Anhui, in addition to the beautiful scenery and charming Hui culture in southern Anhui, the main reason is that it is not far from home. It takes a few hours to get home from a distance of several hundred kilometers. This is the biggest reason why I often go to Anhui (if it only takes a few hours to drive to Tibet, it is estimated that I will go every day).
Today, we won't talk about travel, let's talk about one of the more interesting things, which is about the provincial capitals of Jiangsu and Anhui. Of course, this time it's not about Huijing, but about the two provincial capital cities of Hefei and Nanjing?
Speaking of Nanjing, in fact, I don’t think it needs to be said too much. It is the capital of Jiangsu Province, the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties, and the second largest city in Jiangsu by GDP. There have been countless famous deeds here, as well as glory and sadness. Nanjing has a long history and is very prosperous in tourism. From the perspective of tourism, Nanjing is really a very beautiful city. The sycamore trees all over the city, and all kinds of maple leaves, black tallow and ginkgo trees all show their most beautiful appearance in autumn. At this time, Ming Xiaoling Mausoleum, Meiling Palace and Qixia Mountain were definitely one of the most beautiful places in China.
About Hefei Although I have been driving in Anhui recently, Hefei only visited once last year. Hefei gives me the feeling that it is the future capital of science and technology. There are many technology companies such as iFLYTEK here. If we talk about the history of Hefei, I believe that many people may not remember it for a while. But if you talk about Luzhou, another name of Hefei, I believe that many of you will immediately think of Bao Zheng, Zhou Yu, Li Hongzhang and a series of celebrities. The tourist attractions worth visiting in Hefei include Chaohu Lake, Baogong Temple, and the former residence of Li Hongzhang.
It can be said that the two provincial capital cities of Nanjing and Hefei are the closest provincial capital cities in China. It is only about 180 kilometers from downtown Nanjing to downtown Hefei. It's less than 3 hours away by car, which is faster than going to Nanjing from most Jiangsu cities. If you take the high-speed train, it will be faster, as long as it takes less than an hour.
No wonder many people say that Nanjing has a huge impact on Anhui's cities. You can feel it by looking at the distance between Nanjing and Hefei, the capital of Anhui Province.
