About
Bozhou is a city in Anhui Province, in eastern China. It lies in the northern part of the province, roughly at 33.84°N latitude and 115.78°E longitude. Its name is also written 亳州 in Chinese characters.
Bozhou suits a visitor who wants to see a smaller Chinese city in the north of Anhui rather than one of the province's larger centres. Its position in the northern part of the province makes it a natural stop for travellers exploring the wider region on the way between other destinations.
What to expect
- A city setting in northern Anhui, away from the busiest tourist routes
- A chance to get a sense of everyday life in a regional Chinese city
- A base from which to explore the surrounding area of the province
Planning your visit
The facts available for Bozhou are limited, so specific sights, museums or attractions are not described here. Before you go, check current transport links, local accommodation and what is open, as well as the weather for the season you plan to travel in. Speaking a little Mandarin, or carrying the city's name in Chinese characters, will help when asking for directions or taking a taxi.
If you are looking for a quieter, less crowded stop in eastern China, Bozhou is worth considering as part of a wider route through Anhui.
