Mr.paul replied:
You can use China Souther Airlines from Manila to Xiamen and then make a connecting flight to Hefei, the capital city of Anhui. Contact the airlines to ask the ticket price of the certain day you are leaving and make an inquiry that if the connecting flight is cheaper. Or you can use Philippine Airline to Shanghai Pudong Airport and then transfer to Anhui.

You can depart from Kuala Lumpur to Anhui via Shenzhen and Guangzhou in Guangdong Province or Fuzhou in Fujian. Guangzhou is over 1200km from the capital city of Anhui, Hefei City, about 1400 from Shenzhen and Fuzhou is 1000km from Hefei. Suggest you make a connecting flight to Anhui from anyone of those three cities.
