Hefei is the capital of Anhui province, a province of rugged mountains and flat plains. Often overshadowed by its neighbors Shanghai, Jiangsu, and Zhejiang, Anhui is still somewhat of an economic backwater. However, foreign investors are increasingly attracted to the province due to its cheap labor and manufacturing costs.
Hefei’s industry has traditionally included handicrafts, cloth, leather, bamboo goods, and ironware. Modern-day Hefei has expanded its economic base to include machinery, electronics, chemistry, steel, textile, and cigarettes and tobacco products.
Natural resources of very abundant in Anhui and include iron, coal, and copper. Largely to take advantage of nearby steel producers, Chery automobile company, one of the largest domestic automakers, is headquartered in Wuhu Anhui.
