[2025 Xuzhou ] Travel Guide for The Splendor Peng Cheng (Updated Apr)

Calling all history buffs, culture enthusiasts, and foodies! Today, we'll take you on a journey through Xuzhou, a cultural crossover experience blending the charm of the Chu and Han dynasties! Transportation: Take the high-speed train directly to Xuzhou East Station. From there, subway, bus, and taxi options are readily available, making it as easy as getting home! (Don't even think about driving; Xuzhou's traffic is more complex than the Chu-Han Contention.) Accommodation: The city center is brimming with hotels, ranging from a few hundred to over a thousand RMB. We recommend staying near Yunlong Lake, where you can enjoy evening strolls with stunning night views and wake up to picturesque lakeside scenery. (However, room rates may skyrocket during holidays, so book in advance!) Food: Coming to Xuzhou and not trying Bazirou (braised pork) is like not coming at all! Fatty but not greasy, lean but not dry, served with rice—it's simply divine! There's also Diguoji (chicken and potato stew), mutton soup, and Sha Tang (a local soup). Be prepared to eat your fill! (For those on a diet, we suggest a temporary pause to your plan.) Things to do: Yunlong Lake: Xuzhou's calling card, offering breathtaking scenery. Take a boat ride on the lake and experience the tranquility described in the ancient poem, "Gentle breezes caress, the water undisturbed." Xuzhou Museum: With a rich collection ranging from Han Dynasty jade to Tang Dynasty pottery figurines, the museum offers a glimpse into Xuzhou's profound history and culture. Guishan Han Tomb: The tomb of Liu Zhu, the Chu King of the Han Dynasty, is a magnificent and intricately structured "underground palace." Hubu Mountain Ancient Residences: This complex of Ming and Qing Dynasty architecture, with its grey tiles and elegant style, transports you back in time. Tips: Xuzhou experiences distinct seasons, with spring and autumn being the most pleasant for travel. Attractions are spread out, so plan your itinerary accordingly. Respect local culture and refrain from touching cultural relics. That's all for the guide. The rest is up to you to explore! Remember, the meaning of travel lies not in checking in but in experiencing. So, slow down and immerse yourself in the charm of Pengcheng! (You might even encounter a beautiful romance. Single folks, keep your hopes up!)

Pengcheng has a play, and the elegance is witnessed together. Tourists use water as the medium, islands as the stage, and boats as seats to watch the large-scale lake island live performance 'Pengcheng Elegance'. The performance subverts the traditional tourism performance model of large theaters, grand scenes, huge investments, and a sea of actors. The tourist boat loaded with passengers departs from the Pengcheng Elegance Tourist Center pier, passing through 8 nodes, covering a total route of 3.3 kilometers. During the 70-minute journey, with the Yunlong landscape as the real scene, it integrates advanced technologies such as sound, light, electricity, water, and fire with the real performance of the actors, creating a picture of the bustling Pengcheng during Su Shi's two-year tenure as the governor of Xuzhou. It tells the story of the unbreakable bond between Su Shi and Xuzhou, interpreting Xuzhou from another perspective through Su Shi's eyes. The performance is wonderfully presented amid the changing lights and time travel, offering a new immersive night tour experience on the water.

It's so impressive that even I, a local, am shocked!! Pengcheng style is really worth seeing‼️ The whole model is a bit like a large-scale immersive murder mystery experience. After ticket inspection, you will encounter various ancient-costumed NPCs, and the entire park is very suitable for taking photos and checking in📷 Then there will be performances to lead everyone to board the boat🚣‍♀️ When the weather is good, the sunset is simply breathtaking🌄 The setting, lighting, sound effects, and costumes of the entire performance are all very meticulous💕The experience is truly top-notch💯extremely immersive The actors' performances are also very professional and good👍🏻 Various historical stories are restored before your eyes Whether you want to experience this kind of mode or want to further understand the history of Xuzhou, Pengcheng style will not disappoint everyone🎉

Pengcheng Fenghua Xuzhou Pengcheng's splendor rivals the eternal love of other places When you come to Xuzhou, you cannot miss this high-quality large-scale live performance. The performance is located in Yunlong Lake, a scenic 5A-level tourist attraction in Xuzhou. Starting from the visitor entrance square, the scene interactions and performances between the actors seem to have traveled back to that era. After the performance in the square, you can go to the pier to take a boat to the lake to watch. The performance takes the form of an immersive night tour on water. Through eight scenes, it presents a legendary story of Su Shi in Xuzhou, integrating waterside live performances, light and shadow performances, situational drama and interactive experience. It breaks through the form of traditional night tours on water, and combines immersive boat cruise experience with stopping the boat to watch the performance, allowing tourists to experience the unique experience of "the boat is sailing in the play, and the play is being performed around them", and immerse themselves in an oriental aesthetic drama in the mountains and lakes.

🎑 I took advantage of the fact that the tourist army has not yet conquered Xuzhou and checked in Pengcheng Fenghua before the Mid-Autumn Festival. I have been wanting to go after the start of school, but every day is very saturated and has been put on hold. This time I finally checked in before the holiday when most of the work was almost done. 🎫 200➕ The VIP is 300➕ ⌚️ I watched the 18:30-19:50 one. The whole process includes Su Shi entering Xuzhou on land, to the water control problem on the lake scene, and then leaving by boat. The callback at the end is very touching. The wind at the end of September is still a bit cold, it is recommended to bring a sweater or jacket. The wind on the lake is strong. 💖From the stage lighting to the actor's infectiousness are 💯 The plot is coherent and the emotions are sincere. 🚗The parking lot is right at the door. It's big. 🛵It's very convenient to ride a bike from the Mining University for about ten minutes. ———————— I summarized a few 📷 good-looking places: The pink and daisies next to the parking lot Red lantern forest Lotus pond in the scenic area Calligraphy corridor The light string tree after the end It's also nice to take pictures on the boat hahaha 📷：SONY ZV-1 🍎14p (Remember to turn on the flash!

Just finished the show, highly recommended!!! It's so good! Thumbs up for Xuzhou's culture and tourism! As a Xuzhou native, I've been to Yunlong Lake many times Every time I just take some photos, watch the sunset and evening glow, and enjoy the breeze by the lake This time I was recommended by a friend to watch the show, saying it was very good, so I went to Jinshan Park to buy tickets There are two types of tickets🎫: VIP single 236, Honored guest single 366 The difference lies in the seats on the boat, the honored guests are in the middle of the boat and the seats are more comfortable, the other viewing experiences are the same, I bought the VIP seat, the show is divided into two parts, the shore and the Lotus Wind Island, you need to take a boat to watch the island part From the entrance, you can see the details of the cultural tourism, 100% immersive experience, before the show starts there will be many NPC interactions, very interesting, if you win the interaction there are also gifts. My friend and I went directly to Su Shi's disciple Dalinzi to participate in the quiz, if you win you can get a calligraphy. The questions are mainly about Su Shi's poetry, life experience, etc., fortunately, I didn't give all my knowledge back to my Chinese teacher, haha. When it gets dark, the show begins, the whole show recreates the story of Su Shi's tenure as governor in Xuzhou, from youth to middle age, and then dreams back to old age. Especially after getting on the boat, blowing the evening breeze, if it's a clear day, you can also accompany the evening glow, the performance part on Lotus Wind Island simply shocked me, especially the part about flood control, countless water mist came from the sky, immersive, all the actors are soaked in the performance, the grandeur is shocking, because the boat is not far from the stage, some water vapor can also hit the face, I suggest everyone to experience the real scene So many real scenes, so many actors, all kinds of props stage lights After watching, I feel that the ticket price of more than two hundred is really too cheap! By the way, the ticket is also three-dimensional, the production is also very exquisite, can be used as a souvenir at home, feel this ticket is worth a lot of money, haha Hope Xuzhou gets better and better, Pengcheng Fenghua UP! Attached performance time: (You can enter at 17:30) First show: 18:30-19:50 Second show: 20:10-21:30 Third show: 21:50-23:10 (During National Day)

Xuzhou, a seriously underestimated treasure check-in place❗️ I went to Xuzhou for the third time this year, and watched the large-scale reality performance "Pengcheng Fenghua" as I wished. To be honest, the more than 200 yuan I spent was really worth it. 🤩 As the weather is getting colder, this year's performance will be suspended at the end of November 🈷️ Anyone who comes to Xuzhou and doesn't see it will really regret it🥺🥺 - 📻About the performance Check in half an hour in advance to enter the park, and every shot you take will be a blockbuster After the performance started, it was so beautiful that it really shocked me😭 I have to say that Xuzhou's cultural tourism has really been very active in recent years👍 The performance revolves around the story of Su Dongpo serving as an official in Xuzhou... The light and shadows create gorgeous colors, coupled with the wonderful performances of each actor, it really made people cheer continuously on the spot🎆 The key is that the storyline is full and touching, I really couldn't take my eyes off the whole thing 🤩 In addition, the actors will interact with the audience, which is really interesting🤔 - 🎫About tickets I was hesitant at first 😔 200+ is a bit expensive... After watching it, I feel that this 200+ is worth it 😂 Really fragrant warning ⚠️ 👉There are two ticket prices: VIP ticket and honor ticket The VIP seats are in the middle rows of the ship and are soft seats with a better view. There is no other difference. The price difference is about 100r. ◾️VIP ticket: Single ticket 236r ◾️VIP ticket: Single ticket 366r - 🔮Performances There are currently two sessions a day.
