Wuhu boasts a long history, known as 'Famous City East of the River' and 'Distinguished Area of Wu and Chu', dating back to the Jiuzi settlement in the Spring and Autumn period. In modern times, it became a key treaty port along the Yangtze River and later emerged as an industrial powerhouse after China's reform and opening-up.
