Bengbu is a city with a long history and splendid culture.

As early as 7,300 years ago, the splendid human civilization in the Huaihe River Basin began on this ancient land.

Dayu, the hero of flood control, split the mountains at the foot of Tushan Mountain in Huaiyuan County, Bengbu to guide the Huaihe River, summoned the princes, married Tushan's daughter, and gave birth to Qi, leaving behind a good story of "passing through the house three times without entering".

Bengbu has been a place rich in river mussels since ancient times. It is a "pearl fishing place", hence its name.

"Yu gathered the princes in Tushan, holding jade and silk from all nations." From then on, the pearls collected by our ancestors on the banks of the Huaihe River were tribute.

In 1911, after the Tianjin-Puzhou Railway was opened, Bengbu was officially opened as a water and land hub on the north-south thoroughfare. During the Republic of China, Bengbu became the capital of Anhui Province twice. At that time, Bengbu was prosperous and was known as "Little Shanghai".

In 1947, Bengbu was officially established as a city and became the first provincial municipality in Anhui Province.
