Shanghai furthered its ties with Shucheng in Anhui Province through the launch of a cultural and tourism season in Qingpu District over the weekend.
Shucheng, located at the eastern foot of Dabie Mountain, boasts rich natural and historical tourism resources. It is home to the famous Wanfo Lake scenic area, a 5A (China's top grade) tourist attraction, the Wanfo Mountain Forest Park, Zhou Yu City, and tea plantations and hotsprings.
Zhou Yu City was built on the former site where legendary general Zhou Yu (AD 175-210) recruited soldiers and trained troops more than 1,800 years ago.
Shucheng unveiled its tourism and industrial projects to lure business investment from Shanghai as well as high-speed railway tour routes.
