Where Should I go: Anhui or Heilongjiang?
Anhui
Exploring the Chinese province of Anhui is like walking around a painting. The picturesque mountains and the untouched villages make this a quiet escape from the harsh and loud cities surrounding it. Travelers should put Anhui on their list if they're seeking a glimpse into the China of the past.
Only a few hours from Shanghai or Hangzhou, this region is easy to access, but feels a world away.
Heilongjiang
The Heilongjiang Province is the furthest northeast province in China, bordering Russia. The Province is best known for their long, cold, snowy winters, making them a popular destination for winter sports and ice festivals. Due to the proximity to Russia, Heilongjiang has a lot of Russian influenced buildings and practices; don't be surprised to see some signs written in both Mandarin and Russian in the border towns!
