Datong is located at the head part of Wu and the rear part of Chu (Wu and Chu are two states during warring-states period). It is subjected to Wu in Three-kingdom period and is an ancient town with hundreds of years of history in south of Changjiang. Datong possesses the beauty of both mountains and rivers. It neighbors with Yangtze River, Qingtong river, Tianmu lake and Changlong mountain. The unique location endows Datong a glorious history and makes it become Anhui Historical and Cultural Protection Area nowdays, which is abundant of cultural relics, such as: Dashi Pavilion (Toutian Gate of Jiuhua Mountain), Tianguan Government, Anglicanism , Christian Church, Bell Tower and other over20 humanistic spectacles.

The historical celebrities such as ZhuYuanzhang, HongXiuquan, SunZhongshan and many other literary scholars have left their footsteps here for a tour and appreciation, leaving countless poems behind them. The fire mountain wall, flying and jumping eaves, embroidered windows, hanging building on the water and other architectures of Ming and Qing structures are still clear to see. Steamed cake with oil and sugar, sticky rice with water seed,  crisp cake roasted on ovens, fried gross beancurd, Datong dried beancurd with tea and sesame oil ground by small mill, etc are praised by people all the time. Present Datong is much livelier with neighboring river and beautiful landscape. It is the southwestern door to Tongling and the key to “Two mountains and one lake” scenery spot.
