About Bengbu

Bengbu, a lesser-known gem in Anhui province, China, is a must-visit destination for its rich cultural heritage and stunning natural scenery. The city's standout attraction is the majestic Guzhen Town, an ancient water town famous for its well-preserved ancient architecture and tranquil canals. What sets Bengbu apart is its unique opportunity to experience the world's largest and most impressive lantern festival, the Bengbu Lantern Festival, which takes place every year during the Spring Festival. The best time to visit Bengbu is during the Spring Festival (usually in late January or early February) to experience the vibrant lantern festival. For first-timers, a practical tip is to hire a local guide to navigate the city's maze-like ancient streets and uncover hidden gems, such as the ancient Guzhen Town's secret waterways and ancient temples.
