Luoyang District is Hefei's old quarter with sights like Li Hongzhang's Former Residence and Xiaoyaojin Park, plus shopping at Chenghuang Temple and Huaihe Road. Baogang District has the famous Bao Park and popular Wanda Plaza. Yaohai District is a new area with attractions like Liuming Zhuang's Former Residence and Yaohai Park.
