Sanhe Ancient Town lies about 40 kilometres south of the Hefei city area. It gets its name from its three rivers: Fengle River, Hangbu River, and Xiaonan River. It has over 2,500 years of history: in the Spring and Autumn period, it was called Que'an; it became known as Sanhe during the Ming dynasty. In 1858 during the Taiping Rebellion, Chen Yucheng and Li Xiucheng scored a massive defeat over the Qing army, which became known as The Great Victory at Sanhe. Sanhe's old street is paved with stones worn smooth by hundreds of years of people and vehicles. The street is flanked by distinctive Hui-style buildings. The town has many featured cultural and scenic sites, including the former residence of the famous physicist Yang Chen-Ning. Learn more
