Things to do in Xuzhou

Immerse yourself in the history of ancient imperial tombs and learn about ancient engineering technology.

📍Xuzhou·Guishan Scenic Area | Step into the Underground Palace of the Chu King Family! A trip to Xuzhou isn't complete without a visit to the Guishan Han Tomb! 😭 I originally went for the "Oriental Pyramid," but I ended up spending half a day there at the Dian Shi Garden and the Imperial Edict Museum! It was so worth it! 🎫 Remember to go as soon as it opens, otherwise, after 9 am, there will be many tour groups, which will greatly diminish your experience.

I happened to be there during the chrysanthemum exhibition, and the all-inclusive ticket was quite cheap. The scenery inside was nice, and Bird Island was also quite interesting, with shows and various activities. You can easily spend a morning exploring at your own pace.

Yunlong Lake boasts a vast expanse of clear, clean water, nestled against the lush Yunlong Mountain, creating a picturesque and soothing landscape. A leisurely stroll along the lakeside path, with a gentle breeze rippleing across the surface, is incredibly pleasant. The popular submerged walkway is a must-see, offering close-up views of the fish, shrimp, and aquatic plants, making you feel as if you're walking in the middle of the lake – a truly immersive experience. The scenic area is rich in attractions, including the elegant Xiaonan Lake, the rustic Sugong Pagoda, the beautifully designed Fanyue Bridge, the Xuzhou Concert Hall, and the popular "Ten Thousand People Beach." Every step reveals a new vista, making every snapshot a potential photo opportunity. During the day, enjoy the stunning lake and mountain views; in the evening, watch the sunset; and at night, the lights reflecting on the lake create a gentle and tranquil atmosphere.

The Lion Hill Chu King's Mausoleum and the Terracotta Army offer a great experience and are very helpful for understanding the culture of the Han Dynasty. The park combines leisure and sightseeing, providing a very pleasant experience. It's comfortable to stroll around and stop at will. There are also friendly cats and dogs in the park.

Yunlong Mountain is free to enter. It's not very high, making for an easy and relaxing climb. The mountain is lush with trees and hides historical sites such as Fanghe Pavilion and Xinghua Temple, each bearing witness to stories left by Su Dongpo. From the viewing platform at the top, you can enjoy panoramic views of Yunlong Lake and the entire city of Xuzhou. The maglev slide is a unique feature; this small mountain in the heart of the city combines natural scenery with historical charm, making it a very pleasant place for a leisurely stroll.

Hubu Mountain in Xuzhou, along with Pengcheng Square next to it, should be the largest tourist hub in Xuzhou. Add to that the several food streets nearby, and if you're visiting Xuzhou, you can stay here. One advantage is that if you come to Hubu Mountain around noon, after a morning of exploring, you can take a bath at one of the old-style public bathhouses. There's also a large hall with beds where you can rest for a while.

Central Axis Walking Route: Mountain Gate Square → Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils Statue → Seven Buddha Hall (the largest main hall in China) → Tongtian Pavilion (59.88 meters high, the tallest Buddhist pavilion in China) → 37.5-meter-long Nanhai mural. Secret Tip: Be among the first to enter the temple at 7:30 AM to experience the morning mist and the aroma of incense; walk three clockwise circles around the Tongtian Pavilion to pray for blessings. Photo Spots: Tsutenkaku: Stand in front of the main hall and shoot a wide-angle, upward-facing panoramic shot; shoot a profile shot with the jade railings in the foreground from the east corridor; and capture a silhouette of the Buddha's feet at the foot of the Maitreya statue. Other Locations: Hold a lotus flower in the lotus petals of the Thousand Buddha Pagoda; the red-walled, black-tiled corridor is perfect for photos in Hanfu (Chinese traditional clothing); and the side window lattices of the Seven Buddha Hall can be used for framing.

Xuzhou Jiudingshan Wildlife Park is a great place for a family trip! The park is quite large, divided into drive-through and walking areas. Taking the mini-train allows you to get up close to zebras, alpacas, black bears, and tigers, and you can even feed the animals – it's incredibly interactive. The animals are lively, and the park is clean and tidy.
