Huaibei City is situated in northern Anhui Province, at the junction of Jiangsu, Henan and Anhui provinces. It borders Xiaoxian County and Xuzhou City to the north, Su County and Suzhou City to the east, Huaiyuan and Mengcheng counties to the south, and Guoyang and Yongcheng counties to the west, lying in the prime zone of the Huang-Huai-Hai Economic Region. The city features vast plains dotted with low hills and extensive water areas. Fourteen ethnic groups, including the Han, Hui, Mongolian, Manchu, Miao and Korean peoples, inhabit this beautiful and fertile land. Ethnic minorities, side by side with Han residents, have labored diligently and made vital contributions to transforming Huaibei’s landscape, boosting its economy and enriching its culture.

Nestled at the southern foot of Xiangshan Mountain, Xiangshan Park is Huaibei’s sole large comprehensive scenic park, famed for its "Ten Sights of Xiangshan". The Xiangshan Mountain range stretches all the way from Xuzhou, with its main peak standing as the highest point in northern Anhui and the commanding peak of surrounding mountains. It boasts exotic rocky peaks, misty caves, dense forests, ancient cypresses and time-honored temples, as well as stone steles dating back to the Han Dynasty. There are dozens of cultural relic sites, including the imperial inscription Bless the People of Southern Li left by the Qianlong Emperor, the Buffalo Tomb, Zouming Platform, Horse-Watering Pool and Scripture Cave. The cloud cave atop the mountain shrouds woods in ever-shifting mist; Incense Burner Peak rises steep and precipitous; Stacked Green Peak dazzles visitors with lush emerald foliage. Xiantong Temple, commonly known as Xiangshan Temple, was built during the Jin Dynasty. The newly built children’s playground and Xiangshan Heavenly Lake integrate ancient, modern, Chinese and foreign cultural elements, making them ideal spots for leisure and recreation. With rapid progress of reform and opening-up, Xiangshan Park will serve as an increasingly important window and bond connecting Huaibei with the outside world.

Constructed in August 2001, Huaibei Museum covers a construction area of 10,670 square meters. It integrates cultural relic collection, archaeological excavation, preservation, research and exhibition, housing more than 10,000 cultural artifacts. Its exhibition halls span around 8,000 square meters, divided into eight galleries including Legacy of the Grand Canal, Sui and Tang Porcelain, Song Dynasty Ceramics, and Han Dynasty Stone Reliefs of Huaibei.

In 1999, a large quantity of relics such as a stone dock of the Song Dynasty, Tang Dynasty cargo ships and porcelain wares were unearthed at the Liuzi Site of the Sui-Tang Grand Canal in Huaibei. Ranked among China’s Top Ten Archaeological Discoveries of that year, the find caused a stir among archaeologists at home and abroad. The Grand Canal Ancient Ship Hall inside Huaibei Museum reconstructs the Song wharf and displays the unearthed Tang vessels, recreating the splendid civilization of the Sui-Tang Grand Canal with distinctive local characteristics.

Longji Mountain Natural Scenic Area is located in Xincai Town, Lieshan District, 25 kilometers from downtown Huaibei, covering an area of roughly 10 square kilometers. It borders Suzhou City in the east and Xiaoxian County in the north. Its highest peak reaches an altitude of 363 meters, the highest elevation in Huaibei. Well-preserved artificial vegetation blankets the mountain, featuring graceful jagged peaks, towering ancient trees, oddly shaped rocks and delightful scenery. Highlights include the ruins of Dafang Temple hidden beneath a thousand-year-old sandalwood tree, Longyin Lake, Flat Spring, Sun-Watching Platform, Immortal Cave, and the site where Zhang Guolao attained immortality.

China is the hometown of tea. The hearty bowl tea of Beijing, time-honored Gongfu tea of Fujian, morning tea of Guangdong and teahouses in Chengdu fill the land of China with lingering tea fragrance. Linhuan Town in Huaibei is also a perfect destination for tea tasting. A huge Chinese character for "tea" hangs outside shops, arousing visitors’ craving for tea-drinking, which is an indispensable part of local daily life.

This small Anhui town with a population of over 10,000 has endured 3,000 years of vicissitudes. Its tea culture has been passed down continuously for more than 600 years starting from the Ming Dynasty. Boasting a unique tea aroma, Linhuan is a renowned ancient tea town across Huaibei.
