Product Origin Introduction Bengbu City is located in the alluvial plain of Huaihe River, which does not produce jade, but Bengbu jade carving has a long history. There are more than 1000 jade carving workshops in Bengbu, which are located in Shi Ying Street and Ermayina Road in the urban area. Later, the old city was rebuilt, and most of them moved to Nanshan Road handicraft market.

Song, chairman of the Municipal Federation of Industry and Commerce, said in an interview that the city has a unique advantage in cultivating and developing the antique jade market.
