Does Fuyang in Anhui belong to the south or the north?
Whether Fuyang is a city in the south or a city in the north is controversial because Fuyang belongs to Anhui although it is located north of the Huaihe River in Qinling Mountains. The rest of Anhui Province is located in the south, so many people think that all areas in Anhui are located in the south when they mention cities.
This concept is wrong. China's criterion for distinguishing north from south is to judge which direction a region is in the Qinling Mountains and Huaihe River. Geographically speaking, "Qinling-Huaihe River" is the dividing line between the north and the south of the mainland, so geographically speaking, Fuyang belongs to the north, but Fuyang belongs to the warm temperate and semi-humid monsoon climate, so its diet will have the characteristics of the south.
Topographic characteristics of Fuyang city
The northern part of Fuyang City is connected with the Yellow River in a fan shape, and the southern part faces Jianghuai Qiugang District across the Huaihe River. The whole area is flat. Only in the northeast, there are limestone mounds such as Longshan, Huishan, Langshan and Shuang Suoshan, among which the elevation of Longshan is105m, which is the highest point in the whole region. The rest are plain landforms, flat and endless. Fuyang city is high in the northwest and low in the southeast, with a slight inclination from northwest to southeast.
The south of Jiangtaizi in Yingshang County is the lowest in the southeast, with an altitude of17.5m. The relative drop between northwest and southeast is 14.4m, and the ground ratio is reduced to 1/7000 to1/0000. Due to the influence of the meandering cutting changes of Huaihe River and its tributaries in modern times and the southward invasion of the Yellow River in the early stage, the alluvial deposits in Fuyang City alternately accumulated, forming the alternating distribution of plain hills, slopes and depressions.
