history
The city of Huainan was founded in 283 BC. Chr. Founded by farmers. Due to the large agricultural areas, the city quickly became the "breadbasket" of Anhui Prefecture.
In 1112 , Mayor Gohku Wong ordered a census that showed a population of 15,923.
After decades of growth and development, the so-called "black 50 years" began. From 1580 to 1630 there were no harvests on the fertile land around the city. There was a severe famine, the number of unemployed increased dramatically and a large emigration from the city began.
In 1630 there was a storm that lasted more than a week, which almost completely destroyed the city. After the storm had withdrawn, however, the fields were surprisingly fertile again, and the city began to be rebuilt, which was quickly followed by a renewed economic upswing.
The city became a cultural and religious center. In addition, the emperors built several residences and palaces in the district of the city.
Urban development
In 2008 , the 190 million RMB Dongshan Tunnel was opened. It opens up the southern urban area beyond the Dongshan range of hills that previously limited Huainan in the south. A large new urban district is being created on the formerly agricultural land. A rectangular road network has already been completed. Numerous housing estates are under construction; some were completed in early 2012. A concert hall in the form of a piano and a violin has already been built, and a theater is under construction. There are plans for an amusement park.
