Hefei, also known as Luzhou or Luyang in ancient times, is a historical city located in the central area of Anhui Province, between Changjiang and Huaihe Rivers, bordering Chaohu Lake in the south. Its administration covers Eastern City, Western City, Central City, as well as 4 suburban districts and 3 counties including Changfeng, Feidong, and Feixi. The total area is 7266 km2 (458 km2 for urban area) with a population of 4.259 million (1.2794 million in urban area). Broad avenues and beautiful landscape, modern constructions and historical relics present Hefei as a youthful yet time-honored city.
As the capital city of Anhui Province, Hefei is the center of politics, economy, education, culture, information, finance, commerce, and communication. It is also a national A-level opening city, national education base, and one of the three technology innovation pilot cities. Nobel laureate Yang Zhenning was born here. There are 13 institutions of higher learning, including: University of Science and Technology of China, Anhui University, and HeFei University of Technology, 20 colleges of continuing education, 50 technical secondary schools, 5 secondary normal schools, 73 vocational middle schools, 24 technical schools, 11 adult technical secondary schools, and over 200 scientific institutions including the Hefei Branch of Chinese Academy of Sciences. Its specialized technical personnel amounts to 170,000, and the talents reserve ranks among the top in China.
The origin of the name Hefei may have come from some of the following sources. In the Annotation to 'Scripture of Hydrology and Geography written by Li Daoyuan of Northern Wei Dynasty, in summer, the rising flow of Shi River joined (He-) the Fei River, hence the name. The Shi River is commonly called the Southern Fei River, and the original Fei River named as Eastern Fei River. Both rivers are Feis that are joined (He-) at the fountainhead and therefore called Hefei.
Historically, Hefei is known for its relics from the Three Kingdoms times, and is the hometown of Baozheng, a famous judge in Chinese history. It was a strategic spot by Huai River and in southeast China, where military forces often vied for occupation. A famous battle in the Three Kingdoms times took place in Hefei, then known as Xiaoyaojin, where Zhang Liao defeated a troop of 100,000 from one of his major rival forces Sun Quan. A trade center was formed in the area over 2000 years ago. It developed into a county in Qin and Han Dynasties, and became the city of Luzhou in Ming and Qing Dynasties. In the Republic China, Hefei was the capital of Anhui Province. Now it is a commercial center accommodating thousands of businesses and millions of people.
In recent years, Hefei has witnessed accelerated economic development with revolutionary progress in urban construction. High-Tech Development Zone, Economic Development Zone, Longgang Industrial Park has emerged around the city. The modernized city, with Fei River passing through and city park encircling, still celebrates the attractive Xiaoyaojin, Baohe River, and Yaohai Park. The dawn of the Shu Mountain, the history in the Cemetery of Baozheng, the chimes from the Jiaonu Platform, and the traces of the King of Wu all leave something to remember.
