While we were in the Hefei area, we scored a ride in a most unusual car, the Mao era Red Flag.
Stalin presented Mao with five Russian-built limousines in the early 1950s and Mao liked them so much he decided China should build its own. Virtually hand made, the cars sported a red pennant-shaped hood ornament and on the front, a sign with the Chinese characters hongqi, meaning red flag, that was handwritten by Mao himself. Beginning in the 1960s, the Redflag car was designated for the use of Chinese officials with ranks higher than vice-minister and visiting foreign heads of state who were driven to meet the Chairman in these cars.
