Wanshi Weitang Guan is a clay-pot soup house at Nos. 1-11 Xinhua Garden on Xinwu Road, in Fanluoshan Subdistrict of Wuhu's Jinghu District, Anhui province, China. It specialises in slow-simmered Anhui soups, cooked for hours in ceramic pots, and holds a rating of about 4.7. Its most distinctive feature for travellers is its hours: the listing shows it open from 10:00 until 02:00, which makes it one of the few options in the city for a proper late dinner or a restorative bowl after a night out. The signature dishes on the listing are pigeon soup (gezi tang), clay-pot slow-cooked soup (wa guan wei tang) and pork rib and radish soup (luobo paigu tang). Slow-simmered soup is a staple of Chinese home cooking, valued for clear, rich broths that are often seen as nourishing, and pigeon soup in particular is a traditional tonic dish. The radish and pork rib combination is a simpler everyday soup, mild and sweet, which pairs well with rice and side dishes. The dining room is a neighbourhood restaurant in a residential compound, with a casual, unpretentious feel; it can be busy with locals in the evening, noise levels are moderate, and there is no dress code. A meal costs about ¥51 per person, which is inexpensive. No wine programme is noted, and diners usually drink tea or soft drinks alongside the soup. The restaurant is walk-in and does not take reservations according to the listing, so visitors simply arrive and are seated; at the dinner rush and on weekends, a short wait is possible. Hours on the Trip.com listing are 10:00-02:00, and visitors are advised to confirm on Dianping. The telephone number is +86 553 3873858. The location in the Xinwu Road area puts it near other local eateries and makes it a practical choice for visitors staying in the central Jinghu District.
