About
Lu'an is a city in Anhui Province in eastern China, situated at roughly 31.75° North and 116.51° East. It is also written 六安 in Chinese characters, and visitors may see both forms on maps and signs.
What to expect
Lu'an is best approached as a place to explore at an unhurried pace rather than a single landmark to tick off. Its character comes from its setting within Anhui, a province that spans a range of landscapes across eastern China, and from the everyday life of a city that visitors can observe and move through on foot or by local transport.
