About
Huaibei is a city in Anhui Province, in eastern China. It lies at roughly 33.97° north and 116.76° east, placing it in the northern part of the province, not far from the border with Jiangsu. Its Chinese name, 淮北, is worth knowing if you are reading signs, maps or timetables in the local language.
What a visit is like
The facts available on Huaibei are limited, so this is best approached as a destination for travellers who want to see a northern Anhui city at a less familiar pace. It is a place to explore on foot or by local transport, to watch the rhythm of daily life, and to take in the flat, open landscape typical of this part of eastern China.
Getting oriented
- Location: eastern China, in the north of Anhui Province.
