Huainan is a prefecture-level city with inhabitants in central Anhui Province, People’s Republic of China. It borders the provincial capital of Hefei to the south, Lu'an to the southwest, Fuyang to the west, Bozhou to the northwest, Bengbu to the northeast and Chuzhou to the east. Located in the north-central region of Anhui Province, middle reaches of the Huaihe River, Huainan is bounded on the east by Chuzhou City and shares boundary with the capital city of the province, Hefei, in the south. Before it was governed by a kingdom under the central government of Western Zhou Dynasty (206-24), this area was dwelled by several Chinese ancient minorities. In Han Dynasty (206-220), seigneurs were sent to administrate the region, and established Jiujiang Shire instead later on.
