2025 Xuzhou Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in April)

For those traveling to Xuzhou with kids, check this out! 🌟 As a local, my friends often ask me where to stay and what to eat. Today, I'm going to recommend a place to stay. 👋 Choose somewhere near Yunlong Lake, where the scenery is beautiful, the transportation is convenient, and it's not far from the city center. - I recommend a hotel near my home. I just took my kids there again recently. The family suite is perfect for kids. Not only is it decorated with cute little ducks, but the details are also very kid-friendly. The room is huge and has a great view of Yunlong Lake. - The breakfast is also worth trying. You can taste Xuzhou's specialties without leaving the hotel, such as rice noodles, spicy soup, and lamb soup. I tried them myself, and they taste just as good as outside! ✅ Most importantly, there's an outdoor playground. Although it's not big, it's enough for kids to have fun. There are non-powered facilities, go-karts, bumper cars, and small animals to feed. When we went in the summer, there was even a fountain! Hotel guests can visit the playground for free.

Xuzhou also has Zhongshuge! There are two floors that are really full of design! There are plenty of seats in the leisure area, and there is also a children's area!

At the foot of Yunlong Mountain, Xuzhou's Oriental Zen Hotel Xuzhou Yundongjing Hotel Address: No. 30, Dongyidao Street, Yunlong District, Xuzhou City, Jiangsu Province Located at the foot of Yunlong Mountain in Xuzhou, this hotel brought me an experience of the perfect combination of oriental Zen and modern city. Not only does it have a superior geographical location, it is also a "Zen paradise" in the city. Highly recommended. Location and Transportation: Located opposite the Yunlong Mountain in Xuzhou, the hotel provides guests with a quiet and natural environment. Close to the thousand-year-old Xinghua Zen Temple, it provides an ideal place to stay for friends who like quietness, nature and leisure. There is also Xuzhou Museum nearby, and it is only 1.07km away from the subway station of Yunlong Campus of Normal University. Decoration style: It skillfully combines oriental architectural aesthetics with human settlement culture, and every corner is full of profound Zen and oriental charm. Whether it is the delicate bracket design or the Buddhist language on the wall, it makes people feel a sense of tranquility and harmony. Room Experience: It has a great sense of design. It is actually one floor underground. It has a sense of isolation from the world and is very artistic. When you check in, the butler will proudly introduce the room. The accommodation environment is first-class in the city of Xuzhou. Each guest room is designed with an independent landscape courtyard. The mattress is a customized Simmons luxury black brand. The bedding and all linens are of Carnation brand, which are very comfortable. The quilts and pillows are made of 95% goose down. The bathroom facilities are complete and very clean. Every time I return to the room, it feels like I have entered a small world of Zen. Dining Experience: The breakfast is a set meal, rich and exquisite, each portion is mini, but the quantity is just right. The hotel has a strong tea culture and you are given a small cup of tea when you check in, which feels very special. There is also seasonal tea in the room for you to taste, and it's all free. In addition, their afternoon tea is very beautiful, not only tastes good, but also very suitable for taking pictures. Overall. Service experience: As soon as you enter the lobby, you will be greeted warmly by the staff, especially their butler service, which is very meticulous and thoughtful. Whether it is the room facilities or the various activities of the hotel, they will introduce you to them in detail. If you mention your birthday, they will prepare small gifts and souvenirs for you. Facilities, entertainment or other special activities: The hotel will have many experience activities, such as tea making, meditation, sound bowls and so on. I attended a sound bowl healing class on the night I checked in, which was very special. The teacher is very professional and suitable for friends who like quiet, natural and leisure. The morning tea delivered by the butler every morning made us fall in love with drinking tea. Nearby attractions: The hotel is surrounded by Yunlong Mountain, Xinghua Zen Temple, Xuzhou Museum and Qianlong Palace, which are very suitable for checking in, as well as leisure and shopping places such as the Yundong Characteristic Cultural Block. I will choose this hotel next time

📍Xuzhou Quanshan Forest Park 🚗: The car is parked in the north gate parking lot🅿️charges Finally, after a round of cooling, Xuzhou welcomes the most beautiful autumn scenery Taking advantage of the sunny weather, bring the eleventh to the forest park to enjoy the autumn On both sides of the slow lane, you can see red maple leaves everywhere The Metasequoia by the river is the Merad color system that exceeds the circle this year The pine forest and lawn on the top of the mountain seem to be in a small Nordic town The entire park is like a colorful painting, which is overwhelming This weekend is the best time to watch the Metasequoia, remember to bring your family to check in In the morning, you can be lucky to see wild macaques🐒 ➡️The location of the Metasequoia is on the side of the lake in the center of the park, and you can see a large area from a distance. ➡️🍁Maple leaves are available from the north gate, and the maple leaves in the Metasequoia forest are the most beautiful.

📍Xuzhou Huaihai Memorial Tower 🎫: Free 🚇: Get off at Huai Tower Station on Line 2 and Line 3 Every year's must-visit places for ginkgo Huai Tower, Guishan Han Tomb, Hubu Mountain This year's autumn came a bit late Always thinking about waiting, waiting for it to turn yellow before taking pictures Can't stand the changing weather, suddenly entering the quick-freeze mode Ginkgo leaves are all over the ground, and the ones on the tree branches are still green So don't wait, if you want to take pictures of ginkgo, act now If you don't come, the leaves will fall off~ tips: You can see ginkgo from both the north gate and the east gate, both are on the main road. The color of the Ginkgo Avenue at the Guishan Han Tomb is similar to here, and they are all green. It is recommended to choose the closer one of the two places. There are relatively fewer people at the Huai Tower.

Name: Yunlong mountain Location: Xuzhou, Jiangsu province. Getting there: Take a one hour bullet train from Nanjing or a 1.5 hour bullet train from Zhengzhou. Xuzhou is a modern yet beautiful city on Jiangsu. The highlight is the Tuning mountain area. You can walk or take the cable car up and down the mountain. We paid fifty RMB for the cable car and enjoyed the ride. The view from on top of the mountain is breathtaking...you can see the big lake nearby and the tall buildings of Xuzhou. #yunlong #xuzhou

this is where i first started to independently travel alone. I got scholarship to learning languages, eating, sleeping. I got chance to welcome all the four seasons: Autumn( everything is orange), Spring( colourful flowers and scents), Winter( super super cold), Summer ( you can get burn without umbrella 🔥) . At night, we can go out shopping at night market by just walking. it takes about 20mins walk or you can take a taxi for faster.

This 8th wonder of the world didn’t disappoint. We had a private guide who gave us lots of knowledge on the detail and excavation of the warriors. A good 3+ hours can be spent here after a 1 hour drive from the city. #historicculture#museumquest#summervacation#urbanexplorer

Huiyue is located in the top of the Gengkou Park in Jinlong Lake Scenic Area, Xuzhou Economic and Technological Development Zone. The simple and natural style is integrated into the natural mountain forest and park landscape. Only when you walk in, you can discover its existence. It is really a big hidden Mountain boutique hotel. The essence of human life is a process of natural balance. When you are noisy, you are eager for peace. When you are greasy, you should seek austerity. And the refreshing nature of returning to happiness, let everyone who is seeking spiritual Eden find the home of the soul.

The Sacred Heart Church is a Roman Catholic church. It was built in the French colonial period in the 20th century. It is also known as the Pink Church because it is pink. For some reason, it is impossible to visit. Although it is not a popular attraction, many tourists come here.

The ancient town of Yaowan has been formed for more than two thousand years. The ancient town area is surrounded by water on three sides, facing the land and perfectly matching with nature. Dongwang and Hai, South Huaiyu, Xigu Pengcheng, Beizhan Taihao. Away from the kiln bay of the city, it has not been destroyed by the war, but with the vicissitudes of history, it has lost its original prosperity. Flying in the air townspeople, tell me a few core points, the ancient town in the sunset, the sun is not dazzling, holiday resort recommended.
