As shadows of tree leaves drift across the gray-brick walls of Liuchi Alley in Tongcheng City, East China's Anhui province, visitors take photos along the narrow lane, which is an example of neighborhood comity and harmony.
The typical Anhui tour includes Hongcun Ancient Village, Mount Huangshan, and Wanfo Lake.
Anhui cuisine is characterized by its heavy use of oil, deeply flavored sauces, and superior soups and stock.
