Anhui Province
Anhui province, called Wan for short, lies in the south-east of China.
It has a total area of 139,000 square kilometers, and a population of

 The
Yangzi River and the Huai River flow through the province and divide it
into three parts: Huaibei, Jianghuai, and Jiangnan. The topography of
the three regions is different. Huaibei is flat. Jianghuai is a hilly
area. Jiangnan is mostly covered with mountains.
The climate of the province is varied on each side of the Huai River.
The northern area has a temperate monsoon climate, and the southern area
has a subtropical monsoon climate.
The main mineral deposits of the province are coal, iron ore, and copper
ore. 
The chief farm products include rice, wheat, cotton, vegetable oil crops,
tea, jute, silkworm cocoons, and tobacco. The province is very prominent
in China for its production of vegetable oil crops and tobacco.
Anhui is a major source of coal of southern China. Its industries are
metal making, power, mechanical engineering, petrochemical, textiles,
food processing, and papermaking.
Transportation in this province depends to a great extent on its railways,
but roads and waterways are also quite convenient. Anhui is famous for
its picturesque mountains and rivers. Huangshan, Jiuhuashan, Tiazhushan,
and Qiyunshan are well-known mountains, and the region's premier tourist
attractions. The special locally-made products include Xuan paper, Chinese
