Hefei won't win any beauty contests among Chinese provincial capitals — decades of rapid industrial and commercial growth have produced a city more functional than scenic. But there is genuine substance here for the curious visitor: the city's connection to Bao Zheng, the Song dynasty magistrate who became China's most celebrated symbol of judicial integrity, is commemorated in a fine park complex; the Anhui Provincial Museum covers the province's archaeology with real depth; and the USTC campus preserves some unexpectedly interesting Cold War science history. The filter below covers the main sight categories.
