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.

Here are a few places I think are worth visiting: 1⃣️ Huilongwo Located in the city center, it's an ancient Qing dynasty architectural complex with a vibe similar to Nanjing's Laomendong scenic area. The Xuzhou City Wall Museum at the entrance is also worth a visit, very photogenic. 2⃣️ Hubu Mountain/Xima Terrace Next to Huilongwo, a 10-minute walk 🉑 get there. Hubu Mountain has a sculpture of Xiang Yu. 3⃣️ Xuzhou Museum Xuzhou Museum is definitely underrated, with a lot of Han dynasty artifacts inside, and the treasure of the museum, the 'jade suit sewn with gold thread', is absolutely beautiful‼️ Closed on Mondays, reservation needed in advance. ‼️ The Qianlong Imperial Palace next to Xuzhou Museum is also worth a visit~ 4⃣️ Yunlong Lake + Yunlong Mountain Exiting the Xuzhou Museum is the north gate of Yunlong Mountain, about 20 minutes 🉑 climb to the viewing platform, 🉑 overlook Yunlong Lake, with a broad view.

The main food streets are Fuguo Street, Fengchu Street, and Yiba Night Market 📍 Fuguo Street, in the downtown area, near Suning Plaza on Subway Line 1, recommended dishes include Yipin Piaoxiang rice noodles, Xiaobao ice jelly, Yan Erjie rolled pancakes, and Lao Zheng roasted gluten. Actually, I feel like you can't go wrong with anything on this street. 📍 Fengchu Street, in the downtown area, near Hubu Mountain Station on Subway Line 2🚇, this street is too famous, with chicken skewers, rice noodles, snails, etc. 📍 Yiba Night Market, check in at the Xuzhou logo wall, local milk tea Yunlong Let Tea, and various Xuzhou snacks. ❌ Highly recommended, Xuzhou's breakfast‼️ Don't miss out on Xuzhou's breakfast when you're here! Spicy soup + fried dough sticks + buns, simply drool-worthy! Here are two places I think are great! ✔️ Mashijie sha soup This place is popular and delicious! You need to queue up for self-service, recommended dishes include steamed dumplings, beef potstickers, sha soup, and eight-strand fried dough sticks! ✔️ Liang Lai Feng An old brand popular breakfast spot in Xuzhou, with many stores, choose the one closest to you, recommended for spicy soup and pan-fried buns. ‼️ Finally, a few travel tips for Xuzhou: ✔️ Accommodation recommendation, near Suning Plaza in the city center, with subway access, convenient to go anywhere ✔️ Xuzhou barbecue, I tried Fangfang, the taste was good.

There is also Xuzhou Museum nearby, and it is only 1.07km away from the subway station of Yunlong Campus of Normal University.

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.

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

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
