About Xuzhou
Ancient Pengcheng, cradle of Han-dynasty power: the terracotta soldiers of the Chu King's mausoleum, Han stone reliefs and Yunlong Lake tell a northern story distinct from Jiangsu's water towns.
Top Attractions
Xuzhou Han Culture Scenic Area
Built around the Shizishan Chu King Mausoleum of the Western Han, this scenic area gathers the Han Terracotta Warriors Museum and Han relief gallery — the Chu tomb, warriors and stone reliefs celebrated together as the Three Wonders of the Han. The outer park is free; the core combo ticket costs about 90 CNY.
Yunlong Lake
A national 5A open lake area in southwest Xuzhou, free around the clock and sister lake to Hangzhou's West Lake. Su Gong Tower and the ten-li causeway reflect on the water; cable car, painted boats and the water park charge separately. Cycling in spring or an evening painted-boat ride shows Xuzhou's "mountains in the city, half city lake" charm.
Guishan Han Tomb
The husband-and-wife burial of Liu Zhu, Chu King Xiang of the Western Han, hewn into Guishan hill. Its two corridors cut along a precision axis earned the title "marvel of the ages, wonder of China"; the combo ticket adds the Dianshiyuan garden and the Imperial Decree Museum. Summer opens to 17:30, winter to 17:00.
Pan'an Lake National Wetland Park
A national wetland park transformed from coal-mining subsidence land of the Xuzhou Mining Group, now home to 220-plus plant species across rivers, marshes and lakes. Free entry with boat rides extra; October-November reed flowers are the seasonal highlight, with Pan'an Water Town for strolling.
Peixian Han City
A national 4A complex spanning 989 acres in Pei County — where Liu Bang rose to power — comprising Han City Park, Gefeng Terrace, the Han Gaozu Temple and a 600-meter Han Street. The cradle of Han culture known as the "land of the soaring dragon and hometown of emperors."
Maling Mountain
A national 4A scenic mountain in Xinyi on the Jiangsu–Shandong border, praised by Emperor Qianlong as "the finest river-and-mountain landscape." Winding ridges, the Su Bei battle site and Sanyaogu caves blend natural drama with wartime history; entry about 60 CNY.
Xuzhou Museum
A national first-class museum at the north foot of Yunlong Hill, famed above all for its jade burial suits — the gold-threaded suit of a Han Prince of Chu is the star of a collection spanning Han dynasty tombs, terracotta figures and seal- stamped ceramics. Free with ID; open Tuesday to Sunday 9:00-17:00, Mondays closed.
Huaihai Campaign Martyrs Memorial Park
A 79-hectare memorial park on the slopes of Fenghuang Hill in Quanshan district, centred on the 38.15-metre memorial tower inscribed by Mao Zedong. The complex honours the decisive Huaihai Campaign of 1948-49 with a memorial hall, martyrs' galleries and a forest of 200 flower beds; free with ID, closed Mondays.
