Huizhou (region)

:"Huizhou is also the name of a city in the Guangdong province of China".Huizhou (zh-cp|c=|p=Huīzhōu) is a historical region in southeastern China . It corresponds to the southernmost part of Anhui province (Huangshan Shi and Jixi County) plus Wuyuan County in northeastern Jiangxi province.

Huizhou is a mountainous region, with its own distinct culture as well as spoken Chinese form, known as Huizhou and recognized as one of the main subdivisions of spoken Chinese. Huizhou is also well-known for the scenic Huangshan Mountains.

Since the Ming dynasty, the merchants of Huizhou, collectively known in Chinese as Huishang (徽商; pinyin: Huīshāng) were renowned for their economic prowess. During the Ming and Qing dynasties, they formed a formidable political force both regionally and nationally.
