In the heart of Hefei, Luyang is a prosperous and vigorous district with a 2,000-year-old history. Known as Luzhou in ancient times, the district is the cultural center home to many of Hefei's historical landmarks, and offers every visitor unexpected cultural experiences.
Stretching nearly a kilometer, the Huaihe Road Pedestrian Street in Luyang district was once a bustling commercial hub during the Tang and Song dynasties, flourishing further in the Ming and Qing eras.

Today, revitalized as a main street of modernity and backstreets of rustic charm, it merges the old and new. Nestled on the street are ancient sites like the Jiaonutai and the Former Residence of Li Hongzhang, where the city's memories are continually reimagined. This harmonious blend of history and innovation has made the area a must-visit destination and a hotspot for emerging industries.
Drawing on its rich past, Luyang is preserving its unique character and identity. By advancing its "Old Town Preservation and Renewal" strategy, the district is reshaping historical cityscape and reigniting cultural legacy.
