General presentation
Lu'an et monts Dabie
Forests, reservoirs and mountain villages occupy the hinge between Anhui, Hubei and Henan.
Fozing Reservoir, Lu'an Museum and Dabie Mountains Crests give the most telling landmarks of Lu'an and Dabie Mountains. Together, they form a destination where urban life, mountain reliefs, forests and shores and lakes meet, with atmospheres that change over the course of the stages rather than just one uniform decor.

For a stay of 2 to 5 days, it is better to balance visits and travel times. Also to be anticipated: conditions to be checked according to the season. A car is usually the easiest way to connect the different sectors. The main sites are generally easy to access.

Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
Place indismissible
Réservoir de Foziling
An ancient dam holds a long wooded valley south of Huoshan. An early visit to the area allows you to better observe local usages and the details of the place, while avoiding some of the groups and traffic.
Museum
Musée de Lu'an
The collections present local archaeology, Chu cultures and the history of the Dabie Mountains. The collections and remains take time to go beyond a mere photographic stop; a visit helps to understand their regional historical context.
Place indismissible
Crêtes des monts Dabie
Wooded ridges form a natural boundary between the Huai and Yangzi basins. Distances, weather and access conditions must be checked prior to departure; water, adapted footwear and hourly margins remain useful outside the cities.
Place indismissible
Comté de Huoshan
Tea plants and forest valleys occupy the eastern access to the Dabie Mountains. An early-in-the-day visit allows you to better observe local usages and the details of the place, while avoiding some of the groups and traffic.
