Qingyang

Qingyang is located on the banks of the middle-lower Yangtze River, in the northern section of Anhui’s southern mountains, and is under the administration of Chizhou City, Anhui Province. Qingyang has a long history and highly developed folk arts: traditional theater forms including dramas of the famous Buddhist tale of Mulian saving his mother from hell; traditional local Nuong drama; and a wide variety of folk songs that are still performed around the area. The local environment is lovely and rich in natural scenery. Local scenic destinations include Jiuhua (“Nine Glorious”) Mountain (one of China’s four famous Buddhist mountains), Qingyuan (“Clear Springs”) Mountain, and Shenxian ("Divinities”) Cave.
