Anqing
Huangmei opera, a style of Chinese opera that rose to national prominence from the 1950s onward, originated in this large Yangtze River port city in southwest Anhui Province. Anqing is also the birthplace of Chen Duxiu, a founding father of the Chinese Communist Party and its first General Secretary. The city sits on the northern bank of the Yangtze, with mountains visible from the surrounding terrain and a history stretching back over two thousand years to the ancient state of Wan — the origin of Anhui Province's abbreviated name.
