Anqing and Shangqiu, side by side.

What locals say
There isn’t enough Reddit or guide material here to describe Anqing’s day-to-day life in a reliable way. The available posts are unrelated to the city, so any detailed picture of neighborhoods, food, nightlife, or local routines would be speculation. Based on the thin source set, the safest read is simply that this prompt does not contain usable on-the-ground information. A fuller answer would need local posts, travel notes, or resident comments about living, commuting, eating, and social life in Anqing.

Shangqiu comes across as a historical Henan city that is more about ordinary provincial life than big-city spectacle. With no Reddit posts or comments to draw from, the picture is mostly one of a place where local routines, family life, and practical concerns likely outweigh nightlife or trend-chasing. Its identity is anchored in deep history, but day-to-day life is probably shaped more by affordability, familiar neighborhoods, and a slower pace than by tourism. For someone living there, Shangqiu would likely feel steady and grounded, with fewer amenities than China’s larger hubs but also less pressure and noise.

Food & nightlife
The provided material contains no local dining discussion, so I can’t responsibly characterize Anqing’s food scene from this prompt alone.
There is no city-specific nightlife discussion in the source material, so I can’t infer what bars, late-night streets, or entertainment culture are like in Anqing.
No Reddit evidence is available, so the food scene can only be described cautiously. In a Henan city like Shangqiu, daily eating would likely center on affordable local staples, noodle and wheat-based dishes, simple restaurants, and familiar street food rather than destination dining. The culinary identity probably feels practical and regional rather than flashy, with strong reliance on common neighborhood eateries and markets.
There is no source material describing nightlife, so it is safest to say that nightlife likely exists in a modest, local form rather than as a major draw. In a city of this type, evenings are more likely to revolve around restaurant meals, small bars, karaoke, parks, and family outings than large club scenes. If someone is looking for a highly varied late-night culture, Shangqiu would probably not be the first choice.
Weather vs. what locals say
—
No weather discussion is included in the source material, so I can’t compare climate stats with how locals actually talk about heat, humidity, rain, or seasonal comfort in Anqing.
—
Shangqiu’s weather is best understood as the kind people live through rather than talk about with affection. Statistics may show a straightforward inland Henan climate with hot summers and cold winters, but locals would likely describe it in practical terms: summers that feel oppressive, winters that feel dry and biting, and seasonal swings that shape the whole year. The conversation would probably be less about scenic seasons and more about whether the heat, cold, and dust make daily errands uncomfortable.
In short
Not enough data to form a verdict.
