The local population maintains traditions connected to copper craftsmanship, producing decorative bronze vessels that reflect centuries of metallurgical expertise.

The Hefei-Tongling-Huangshan Expressway connects the city to major destinations, while the railway station provides regular services to Shanghai, Nanjing, and Hangzhou.

The River Dolphin Nature Reserve houses multiple endangered species, including the Yangtze alligator and Chinese sturgeon in specialized aquatic habitats.
