[2025 Xuzhou Attraction] Travel Guide for Pantao Mountain Buddhist Cultural Scenic Area (Updated Jul)

Sisters! Brave the summer vacation with a 6-year-old to explore the old nest of Han culture, history stirs the heart, but the pitfalls gave me a heart attack! The kid was looking for "Ghost Blowing Lamp" in the Guishan Han Tomb, while I was bitten into a "red bean rice dumpling" by mosquitoes on Yunlong Mountain... Crying, I compiled a 3-day survival guide, which can save you two boxes of band-aids‼️ 🔥 Chaotic itinerary Day 1⃣️: Xuzhou East Station - Guishan Han Tomb underground palace - Yunlong Mountain feeding mosquitoes - Yunlong Lake chasing the sunset Day 2⃣️: Xuzhou Museum to see the Golden Thread Jade Burial Suit - Huilongwo as a Han dynasty empress in Hanfu - Ximatai looking for Xiang Yu Day 3⃣️: Han culture scenic area shooting war horses - Baolian Temple eating vegetarian buns - High-speed rail station losing toys 🌇 Soul-stirring spots: ✅ Guishan Han Tomb exploration The moment we crawled into the Chu King’s underground palace, my hair stood on end! The flashlight I bought for the kid became a "treasure hunting tool," insisting on shining it along the tomb passage to find "traps"⚡️ Saw the drainage ditch and shouted: "Ancient people’s pee ditch is so long!" Finally, the kid wouldn’t let go of the coffin model copied from the tomb... ✅ Yunlong Lake sunset fishing boat Rented a parent-child bike to circle the lake, but the kid’s foot got stuck in the wheel! 🚲 When the sunset dyed the lake red and the fisherman cast his net, it was breathtakingly beautiful, but the kid stared at the fish in the net and shouted: "Uncle, can you give me a braised fish?" ✅ Baolian Temple Tongtian Pavilion The 39-meter-high Buddha statue scared the kid into silence! 🙏 Insisted on kowtowing to every Bodhisattva, ending up with a red forehead in front of the Manjushri Hall... The peach blossom pastry at the vegetarian restaurant was so sweet it was sickening, the kid ate three saying it was to "replenish fairy energy"! 💣 Blood-spitting pitfalls to avoid: 1⃣️ Don’t rent electronic guides in Han culture scenic areas! The kid played with it like a walkie-talkie the whole time, and the 200 yuan deposit was almost lost 2⃣️ Spray mosquito repellent on Yunlong Mountain! Got bitten 18 times in 10 minutes, the kid cried: "Mosquitoes treat me like a Han tomb burial companion" 3⃣️ Don’t wear Hanfu climbing stairs at Ximatai! The three-layered quju wrapped like a rice dumpling, so hot I wanted to jump into Xiang Yu’s horse trough 4⃣️ Don’t buy bamboo tube milk tea at Huilongwo! 35 yuan for a taste like dishwashing liquid, the kid said it was like "Liu Laolao drinking pot scrub water" 5⃣️ Don’t touch the glass cases in the museum! The security uncle chased after us shouting: "Little ancestor! This is a national treasure!" 🍜 Food hits and misses: ✔️ Shita soup with baguette at Mashi Street, so fragrant the kid scraped the bowl bottom for sparks ✔️ Xu’s beef potstickers at Huilongwo, juicy and hot enough to burn the tongue but still kept eating ✔️ Shiitake mushrooms in vegetarian noodles at Baolian Temple, so fresh the kid wanted to swallow the bowl ✖️ Bamboo slip ice cream in the scenic area: 38 yuan for a lump of cream that melted faster than water seeping into the Chu King’s tomb ✖️ Viral rolled flatbread with sauce: so hard the kid said "This must be Xiang Yu’s shield" 📸 Perfect photo spots: 1⃣️ Guishan Han Tomb corridor (use flashlight to shoot like Tomb Raider) 2⃣️ Yunlong Lake cedar forest (wear Hanfu and row a transparent boat) 3⃣️ Baolian Temple Tongtian Pavilion (hold a lotus lantern to be a little Bodhisattva) 4⃣️ Huilongwo lantern wall (carry a carp lantern and spin around) 🏡 Accommodation survival guide: ✔️ Huilongwo Huajian Mansion: gives kids Han dynasty five-zhu coins, play hide and seek in the ancient house ✔️ Suning Hyatt Hotel: rooftop pool with night view, kid said "It’s like living in the Jade Emperor’s house" ✖️ A certain Han-style guesthouse: tatami mats hurt the back + cricket night concerts, whole family left with panda eyes 🚑 Lifesaving tips: ✔️ Folding mosquito net (life-saving tool under the trees on Yunlong Mountain) ✔️ Archaeology toy set (life saver while queuing at Guishan Han Tomb) ✔️ Ice silk Hanfu (won’t get heatstroke wearing quju at 40°C) ✔️ Children’s knee pads (kneeling on marble floors at the museum to see exhibits) On the high-speed train, the kid suddenly said: "Mom, let’s steal the Golden Thread Jade Burial Suit home!" Although we kept jumping between history lessons and mosquito battles every day, seeing her crooked "Han dynasty war chariot" drawings in the album made this trip worth it! (⚠️ Final warning: memorize ancient poems before going to Xuzhou Museum! My kid shouted "Ultraman transform!" at the pottery figurines, and all the parents laughed so hard their phones dropped...)

📷 Recommended scenic spots: 📍Baolian Temple: After arriving in Xuzhou, I recommend heading straight to Baolian Temple. There is free luggage storage at the entrance of the scenic area. You can get three sticks of incense upon entering (if you want to eat vegetarian noodles, try to go early, as it gets very crowded during meal times). 📍Yi Ba Night Market: A landmark in Xuzhou that is almost a must-see, with a huge logo, as well as many cold noodles and fried chicken snacks 🍜. 📍Xuzhou Museum: Reservations need to be made one day in advance. Closed on Mondays! On the third floor of the museum, you can see the "Xuzhou version of Vision Wei" and the "I don't want to work version." 📍Xingshi Community: There are many hidden gem shops to explore, including vintage stores, coffee shops, and dessert shops. However, it is not highly recommended, as there are many people lining up to take photos. Some of the graffiti walls, in my opinion, are not worth a special trip. Those who like taking photos can come. 📍Yunlong Mountain - Yunlong Lake: The north gate is highly recommended. Hike up the mountain + take the cable car down, which saves time and effort, and you can also see a panoramic view of Xuzhou at sunset. There are a lot of mosquitoes on the mountain. After going down the mountain, it is very convenient to scan a shared electric bike to Yunlong Lake. When the weather is good, you can see a pink-orange sunset and a natural swimming pool. It feels like everyone is very chill! 📍Confucian Temple - Huilongwo: Choose a hotel near the Confucian Temple or Suning Plaza, as it is very convenient to travel around! You can walk past the Confucian Temple and Huilongwo. The Confucian Temple is very small and there are no stalls during the day. If you don't want to take photos at the popular spots, you don't need to come. Huilongwo is worth a visit, about 1 hr or so, and is a very charming ancient alley that is also great for taking photos. 📷 Food Guide ✅Xia Bao Bing Bing Fen: The mung bean smoothie is delicious, and there are many toppings. A very large portion!! Very refreshing after eating!! ✅Laomo (thin pancake) rolled with gluten: Laomo rolled with grilled gluten is very creative, chewy, and delicious!! ✅Lao Kuishan Rice Noodles and Yipin Piaoxiang Rice Noodles on Fuguo Street are delicious and come in large portions. Really not a tourist trap. The old shop has been open for many years, and there are basically no seats during meal times!! ✅Guo Ji Spicy Cake Shop: I go to Fuguo Street to buy spicy cakes! The spicy steamed buns are really fragrant when they are freshly baked, CNY 2/piece. ✅Yan Ting Pancake: You can choose from a lot of dishes, very fragrant and delicious! So delicious that you want to buy a lot to take back! ✅Da Chu Jia Jujube Cake: There are really so many flavors!! Original, hawthorn, chocolate, walnut, sunflower seed, and cranberry. The freshly baked ones are very fragrant. People passing by can't help but buy some. The jujube flavor is very strong, sweet but not greasy!! ✅Da Zhang Laomo Village: The chicken hot pot, laomo rolled with Huizhou dried vegetables, and stir-fried beef with yellow beef are all great choices!! There are really many dishes, and the portions are huge. The laomo here can really be rolled with anything, hahaha. ✅Xu Ji Pig Head Meat Baked Bun: The baked bun is crispy! The pig head meat is very fragrant and tender. ✅Yunlong Rang Tea: Milk tea only available in Xuzhou, quite refreshing fresh milk tea~ ✅Lao Zheng Grilled Gluten: Mutton + gluten rolled in a pancake, what a great way to eat it!!

Day 1: 🚄 Arrive at Xuzhou East Railway Station and head straight to Baolian Temple 🪷 (p2-p4) You must try the vegetarian noodles at Baolian Temple! My friend recommended it to me, and I tried it with a skeptical attitude, but it turned out to be really delicious! The buns are also delicious! In the afternoon, I arrived at Xingshi Community. There are many beautiful shops here that are perfect for taking photos. There is also a Jennie poster wall where you can take photos (p5-p6). Go out from the west gate of Xingshi Community to Fugou Street, a street full of snacks. I recommend Lao Xuzhou Stinky Tofu (the pickled cabbage soup is super delicious), Erzhong Lao Zheng Meat Skewer Pancake, and Xiabao Ice Jelly. There is a Xuzhou check-in wall (p7). Then I went to Confucius Temple · Dongfang. There are many restaurants here, and there are several check-in walls where you can take photos (p8-p10). In the evening, I went to Vanke New Huai Center. I had San Zhi Yang BBQ on the sixth floor. My friend said it is a local chain. The meat is fresh and not gamey. After eating, I took a walk downstairs and took photos at the check-in wall (p11). I booked a room at Magnolia Hotel near Suning Plaza. I specially chose a room in the northeast corner. At night, I could see the scrolling subtitles on the Suning Building from my room (p12). Day 2: I went out a little late, and it was already past 10:00 when I arrived at Huilongwo, a historical and cultural block with traditional Xuzhou residential buildings, similar to Nanjing Laomendong. There are many coffee shops and dessert shops. You can take photos both day and night (p13-14). Go out from the south gate of Huilongwo and walk south to reach Hubushan and Ximatai. Hubushan requires a ticket, while Ximatai only requires a QR code to enter. At this time, the ginkgo leaves are falling, and the ancient buildings are very artistic (p15-16). After shopping, it was already past 1:00. I took a taxi to Yiba Night Market, checked in at the pink "Xuzhou" landmark, and ate delicious food. I recommend Fengchu Street Fried Steak, Rou Bao Dan (with mashed potatoes), Cheng Xiaoye Baked Bun with Lamb Skewer, and Mofan Rice Noodles (p17). It was too cold in Xuzhou this time. My stomach is too small, and there are still many delicious foods I haven't tried. I'll come back next time!

📅Travel route: It is very convenient to live near People's Square. It is very convenient to take the subway and taxi. It is not too far to go to many food streets. 🌄Must-visit check-in point 1: Take bus No. 41, get off at the archway, and then walk a few hundred meters to get there. 🍝🍜🍛Xuzhou 1818 Food Plaza: There are many foods inside. This big pink sign is a must-visit place when you come. Because it is off-peak travel, going to play now perfectly avoids the crowds, and there is no obstruction for taking pictures. 🌄Must-visit check-in point 2: Take bus No. 613 from Xuzhou Station and get off at Baolian Temple. 🍂🍁Baolian Temple: Eat vegetarian noodles and copy scriptures. In the floating world, the heart is for pure joy. Calm down and copy some scriptures, burn incense and copy them, every stroke can regulate your mood. Buddha said: The calmer your mind is, the deeper your blessings will be. If you have a wish in your heart, all your wishes will come true. The plain noodles are delicious and inexpensive, the three-cup buns are very fragrant, and there are exquisite pastries that you can take home and share with your family. There are many check-in and photo-taking spots in Tsutenkaku, where you can take some beautiful photos. 🌄Must-visit check-in spot 3: Take Metro Line 1, get off at Exit 3 on Gongnong Road, and you will see the coffee shop. ☕🍰Windy Coffee Shop: I saw it on a short video app, and many people check in there. I took Metro Line 1 to check in there. It is so beautiful. At night, there is beautiful foam snow, full of Christmas atmosphere. It is very good to check in and take photos. 🚗Transportation strategy: Xuzhou has a railway station and a high-speed railway station. You can take the subway and bus after getting off the train. If you want to take a taxi, Didi is also very cost-effective. If it is rush hour, it is recommended to take the subway so that you won’t be stuck in traffic! 💗Other tips: I highly praise Xuzhou’s public transportation! ! ! I discovered a detail when taking the bus. If an elderly person gets on the bus, the driver will patiently wait for the elderly person to find his or her bus card, and then find a seat with his or her luggage and sit down before the driver starts driving! ! It's very detailed. I've been to many places before, and some buses start moving as soon as you get on. I often get caught off guard and get flashed, so afraid of falling down [Cry]

Transportation: Take Subway Line 2 to Jiulong Lake Station, then transfer to Bus 613 and get off at Baolian Temple Station. Tips: Free admission, just swipe your ID card to enter. Vegetarian food is available on both sides of the main gate of the temple. There is a table at the main gate with incense sticks that you can take for free (up to three). The history of Baolian Temple can be traced back to the Liu Song period of the Southern and Northern Dynasties. The founder was a monk who had traveled to the west to obtain Buddhist scriptures, so the temple was once an Indian-style temple, but all that has become nothing. The current Baolian Temple was rebuilt in 2009. As a dojo of Maitreya Bodhisattva, the entire temple has the momentum of a Buddhist ancestral court, and the temple buildings in the temple combine the grandeur and luxury of the Tang Dynasty, with bold and gorgeous colors. What sets Baolian Temple apart from other temples is that there are seven Buddhas in the main hall, while the main hall of a typical temple has one Buddha and two Bodhisattvas, or Buddhas of the past, present, and future. On the back of the main hall is the largest single Guanyin mural in China. Behind the main hall is the tallest Buddhist pavilion in China - Tongtian Pavilion, which houses the largest indoor bronze Buddha statue in China - Tianguan Maitreya Buddha. The Tianguan Tower Pool at the entrance is also very photogenic, as is the Bodhi Holy Lotus Fountain outside the temple. Each place is full of majestic momentum, symbolizing the boundlessness of Buddhism. Although Baolian Temple does not have any ancient relics, it is still worth a visit for its dignity and Buddha-nature, and it's great for photos.

Baolian Temple is located at the foot of Pan Peach Mountain in the east of Xuzhou City. It was built during the Northern and Southern Dynasties and is the first temple in China with an Indian style. It has experienced vicissitudes and has been prosperous and desolate several times. Baolian Temple, eight halls, two pavilions, one courtyard. The Tongtian Pavilion is located at the back, 59.88 meters high, and is the tallest Buddhist pavilion in China. It enshrines Maitreya Bodhisattva, and the Buddha statue is 39.88 meters high. The Seven Buddha Hall is the largest Daxiong Hall in China, with a 9-meter-high and 37-meter-long South China Sea Guanyin mural. In the temple, you can pray for wealth, study, children, marriage, and peace. Pray sincerely, and your heart will be sincere.

||First Day. Xuzhou Two Days and One Night Guide is here||First Day 1⃣️ We departed from Zhengzhou, taking a four-hour train ride (51.5), but we took a three-hour bullet train (64). On the way back, we took the high-speed rail, which cost 164 per person (if time permits, I think taking the train is more cost-effective). 2⃣️ We arrived at around six in the morning. We booked a homestay, but someone stayed the night before, so we had to wait until noon. It was very hot. If you arrive in the morning, it's better to find a place where you can check in early and rest. We went for breakfast first. I didn't take any photos, but you can find a place nearby. Pictures 2 and 3 are of Baolian Temple (ID card required), which is very photogenic. After breakfast, we went there. Going early means fewer people. You can buy a cultural and creative ice cream (16) just for the check-in. The corridor on the right side of Baolian Temple is very photogenic. 3⃣️ Picture 4 shows the rice noodles we had after visiting Baolian Temple. This place is on Fengchu Street. You can choose a nearby rice noodle shop. You must try Xuzhou rice noodles; they are delicious (I think it's just right because I have a heavy taste. If you can't eat spicy food, remember to ask them not to add chili). 4⃣️ Pictures 5 and 6 are of the Metasequoia Trail at Yunlong Lake. It was raining when we went, so we didn't see the green on the water. If you want better scenery, go on a sunny day (very photogenic, recommended). 5⃣️ After taking photos at the Metasequoia Trail, it was evening. We rented a bike (recommended, the way back is very beautiful). We first went to Huilongwo and then to Yizhu Night Market (Xuzhou's signboards are in this night market). 6⃣️ After checking in at the night market, we went to eat and drink. You must try Xuzhou barbecue. We went to Tang Lao San Barbecue (visited by Wulala). It was really delicious. We had handmade noodles and some skewers we liked. It was very satisfying. Second Day 1⃣️ At noon, we went to eat Bazi Meat (Fengxia Bazi Meat). We queued for a long time, but it was worth it. Highly recommended! 2⃣️ Yunlong Let Tea is worth checking out, as it is unique to Xuzhou. We were looking for fridge magnets since we arrived in Xuzhou, and we finally found them at the subway station when we were about to leave (average 35-30 each). We traveled by taxi. In short, Xuzhou has great food, and you won't be disappointed!

Went to Xuzhou three times, really don't want to go for the fourth time Because I want to stay in Xuzhou forever, how can there be such a place with delicious food and fun! Three visits to Xuzhou, a summary of delicious food and fun places are all here! 🚉Transportation Guide: Transportation: Take the high-speed train directly to Xuzhou East Station, then take Metro Line 1 directly to the hotel 🏨Accommodation Recommendations: It is recommended to stay near Suning Plaza, or stay in a hotel close to the subway. 🗓Itinerary: Weekend two-day and one-night tour guide Day 1: Baolian Temple - Hubushan - Fuguo Street - Pengcheng Fenghua Day 2: Xuzhou Museum - Qianlong Palace - Yunlong Mountain - Yunlong Lake ❤Recommended Reasons: 1. Baolian Temple Built during the Yongxing period of the Northern Wei Dynasty, it has 8 halls, 2 pavilions, and 1 courtyard. Among them, the Tongtian Pavilion is the largest Buddha pavilion in China, and it's great for taking photos. Burn three incense sticks at the entrance, and you must try the vegetarian noodles. 2. Xuzhou Museum: Reservation required in advance It is a place to experience the spread of Han culture and the history of Xuzhou. Highly recommend the museum's treasure, the Golden Thread Jade Garment. There are also various pottery figurines that are very interesting and suitable for making emoticons. 3. Qianlong Palace: Right next to the museum, you can visit it after the museum tour, it takes about ten minutes to stroll around. 4. Yunlong Mountain: The north gate of Yunlong Mountain is right opposite the museum entrance. You can climb the mountain from the north gate, and it takes about 40 minutes to reach the viewing platform, overlooking the entire Xuzhou. 5. Zhongshuge: The most beautiful bookstore in Xuzhou, very well designed, the stairs are great for taking photos. The collection of books is okay, you can come and browse, there are also many cultural and creative products, and it takes ten minutes to walk down from Yunlong Mountain. 6. Huilongwo: It is a snack street with various ancient buildings, suitable for eating and drinking at night, taking photos and checking in. 7. Fuguo Street: As a gathering place for old Xuzhou snacks, Fuguo Street is really full of delicious food. See the picture for specific recommendations, eat until you are full. 8. 1818 Night Market: All near Suning Plaza, because the Xuzhou landmark check-in wall is here, it is a gathering place for many food and entertainment spots, loved by young people, and it can be crowded. 9. Bu'er Folk Music: Enjoy the evening breeze and order a drink, this is what a weekend should look like.

Xuzhou Station is relatively close to the places to play. It takes about 20 minutes from Xuzhou East to major attractions, and it takes about 28r by taxi. Accommodation: Jinjiang Star Fashion (Deji Plaza) is not recommended. The environment is very ordinary, but the location is amazing. It is very close to everywhere. You can walk to Huilongwo. You can book according to this nearby. Attractions: 1⃣️ Baolian Temple Just swipe your ID card, no need to make an appointment in advance, it is very worthwhile to go! ! ! Plain noodles are available on both sides, and the difference is not too big~ Bracelets are available in Tsutenkaku, about 48-200 It is very good inside, but babies try not to wear short skirts and slippers Incense price: 20r Prayer card: 10r 2⃣️ Huilongwo When I went there, there was no one. I went there at 22:00 at night. It is the historical district, but I feel that the hotel inside is quite comfortable and the environment is very good. Babies with a high budget can take a look inside🏨It is recommended to go there during the day or in the evening 3⃣️ Fuguo Street Snack street, nothing worth checking in, but near the Xuzhou Internet celebrity card, I don’t think it’s necessary to go there alone, just a whole trip of snacks, but near Suning Plaza, it’s about 10 minutes walk 4⃣️ Yunlong Mountain Free! ! ! You can take a taxi directly to Yunlong Mountain, and then climb to the top and take the cable car down directly, which costs 40r per person! It takes about half an hour to climb. I didn't stop, but the steps are quite steep. Those who are not physically fit can take a taxi directly to the cable car entrance, go up by cable car, and come down by cable car to Yunlong Lake, which is very convenient! Food😻 1⃣️NO1. It must be Jianlilai mung bean cake! Every flavor is good, just drink it with confidence! : : : : : : : : : : : : : : :
