The two nearest provincial capital cities in China are less than 190 kilometers away from the city center, and the high-speed train takes 1 hour to reach
If you ask me, besides Jiangsu, where is my favorite province, I think I can tell you with certainty, Tibet, Xinjiang, Anhui and so on. But if you ask me to choose a province that I often visit, of course I will choose Anhui without hesitation. Apart from the beautiful scenery and charming Huizhou culture in southern Anhui, the main reason for liking Anhui is that it is not far from home. The distance of hundreds of kilometers can reach home in a few hours. This is the biggest reason why I often go to Anhui (if it only takes a few hours to drive to Tibet, I will probably go every day).
Today, let's not 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 Huijing, but the two provincial capitals 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’s GDP. There have been countless celebrity deeds here, as well as glory and sorrow. Nanjing has a long history and is also 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 in autumn show their most beautiful appearance. At this time, Ming Xiaoling Mausoleum, Meiling Palace, and Qixia Mountain are 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 capital of science and technology in the future. There are many technology companies such as HKUST Xunfei here. If we talk about the history of Hefei, I believe many people may not remember it for a while. But if you talk about Luzhou, another name of Hefei, I believe 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. From the urban area of Nanjing to the urban area of Hefei, it is only about 180 kilometers. It takes less than 3 hours to drive, which is faster than going to Nanjing from most Jiangsu cities. If you take the high-speed train, it will be faster, and it will take less than an hour.
No wonder many people say that Nanjing has a great influence on the cities of Anhui. You can feel it by looking at the distance between Nanjing and Hefei, the capital of Anhui Province.
