Hefei Unveiled: A Journey Through China's Ancient Streets 🇨🇳

Hefei and Sanu Ancient Town

Ryan Shane Palmer explores Hefei, China, despite starting the day with lost luggage and a low phone battery. The journey begins at Chaohu Lake, one of China's five major freshwater lakes, before he visits Sanu Ancient Town. Its canals, bridges and old architecture give the town a distinct character. Ryan walks along the ancient walls, which were built for defense and now draw visitors. A guide points out holes in the walls and explains their defensive use, helping Ryan understand how the town was protected. Ryan also meets local people, who give him a sense of the town's friendly atmosphere and history. The town's ancient layout makes the canals and defensive walls central to the day's exploration.

Local history and places

As evening approaches, Ryan visits a local gathering place and watches residents unwind at bars. He then goes to the local War Memorial, where a timeline presents events from the area's history. The tour turns to the name Sanu, which means "Three Rivers": three rivers flow through the town, and many old bridges cross its canals. Ryan follows the ancient street to a market that now serves visitors, with traditional crafts, clothing and souvenirs.

With his phone battery running low, Ryan makes a stop at the Shipyard Cafe, an iconic Hefei location that is under construction or demolition during his visit. The final stop is Lord Ba's tomb and the surrounding park. Lord Ba is described as a northern soldier known for his character and contributions to philosophy. The quiet park provides a final pause after a day that took Ryan from Chaohu Lake through the town's walls, memorial, market and historic sites. His visit offers a personal look at Hefei's history and at the canals and everyday places of Sanu Ancient Town.
