Anhui Province 2009

Anhui is an inland province most famous as the home of the beautiful Huangshan, aka "Yellow Mountain". I've collected some shots of Tunxi, a regional city serving as a stepping stone to Huangshan that has its own "Old Street", and the historic village of Chengkan, one of several historic villages dotted around the province. Neither are headline tourist spots, but there's always something atmospheric or quirky to look at.

Real back-blocks China, I suspect (high-rise notwithstanding)
