Ma'anshan lies on the Changjiang in the east of the province of Anhui.
It is situated about 80km/50mi from Nanjing with which it has rail, bus and ship connections. It can be reached from the provincial capital Hefei by rail and bus.
Ma'anshan means ''Horsesaddle Mountain'', a name which is derived from an old legend. In 202 BC Xiang Yu, King of the Chu kingdom, committed suicide in this region after being defeated by his arch-rival, the Han King Liu Bang. His horse was disturbed by his master's non-appearance and ran up a hill in the hope of being able to spy him on the horizon.
