Bengbu (zh-cp|c=蚌埠|p=B?ngb?) (Bangbu, Pang-pu or Peng-pu; meaning "Clam Wharf" or "Oyster Quay") is a city in the Anhui Province of China. Population (1990 estimate) 449,245.




Bengbu is located 120 km north of Hefei, on the Huai River. It is divided into two parts: greater Bengbu on the south bank of the river and little Bengbu on the north bank.




Bengbu has always been a hub of water and land communications in Anhui province, and a major distribution centre for the Huai basin. The name echoes its former reputation as a center of the freshwater pearl fishery.

In 1948, during the Chinese Civil War, the Communist People's Liberation Army won a decisive victory over Chiang Kai-shek's Kuomintang|Nationalist (KMT) forces near Bengbu, in the Battle of Huai Hai.




Bengbu is now a famous food city in Anhui province. Food-related industries account for 44% of the city's industrial production. The city's other industries include engineering works, textiles, glass making, chemicals, and electronics.




Bengbu is one of the centers of the Yanhuai cuisine, one of the three noted cuisines of Anhui province. The dishes tend to be salty and slightly hot, with thick soups. One of the famous dishes is fuliji (braised chicken), whose 13 herbs and spices give it a rich aroma.
