The spontaneous trip to Xuzhou

2023 June 2nd - 4th Transportation: Tianjin ➡️ Xuzhou East Station, there are many trains, and it takes only 2-3 hours to arrive. Accommodation: Choose hotels near Suning Plaza or Pengcheng Square, where most dining, entertainment, and travel conveniences are located. June 2nd Tianjin ➡️ Xuzhou ➡️ Pengcheng No.1 From Xuzhou East Station, take the subway line 1 to Pengcheng Square Station. Asked the hotel reception girl which barbecue in Xuzhou is good, "Big Boss Chen's Lamb Skewers", very characteristic of Xuzhou, with baked flatbread and barbecue, delicious. In the evening, I strolled around the 1818 Night Market near Pengcheng No.1. June 3rd Xuzhou Museum ➡️ Hubu Mountain ➡️ Xima Terrace ➡️ Yunlong Lake Yunlong Mountain ➡️ Huilong Nest For breakfast, the most famous "Mashi Street Soup" shop requires a 40-minute queue, so everyone can also choose accordingly. Took a taxi for 2 kilometers (actually walkable) to the Xuzhou Museum, which is free but requires advance reservation, and you enter with your ID card. Three floors, divided into different sections, just follow the route for the visit. It's quite shocking how many Han tombs you can find just by digging around in Xuzhou. About two hours are needed. In the afternoon, wandered around Hubu Mountain and Xima Terrace area. Hubu Mountain is a cluster of ancient wealthy residences. Coming out of the Hubu Mountain residences, continue walking to the highest point, which is Xima Terrace, where the Western Chu overlord Xiang Yu established his capital in 206 AD. Because Xima Terrace is a bit higher, it was never submerged and still retains some ancient relics. It takes about an hour to visit. Then went directly to Yunlong Mountain and Yunlong Lake, it was cloudy so not too sunny, and I must say the weather was perfect (smug bee). Yunlong Lake is just across the road from Yunlong Mountain, with a total height of 88 meters, we bought cable car tickets, 50 yuan for a round trip, and the places to get on and off are different, so pay attention to this. Overlooking Xuzhou from the mountain. By the time we descended, it was already 5 pm, went straight to "Baiwei Clay Pot Chicken", an old Xuzhou dish. For dinner, went to Huilong Nest, it's more suitable to take a taxi with a few people. The ancient buildings and lights at night are very matching. The consumption here is slightly more expensive, but still considered low. A great place for those who like to take photos. June 5th Guishan Han Tomb ➡️ Baolian Temple Took a taxi from the city center to Guishan Han Tomb, the ticket price is 80 yuan, but around 72 yuan per person on the APP, the craftsmanship of digging caves in the mountains over 2000 years ago is amazing. We hired a guide for 90 yuan (thumbs-up bee). The last stop of this trip was Baolian Temple, which is very popular, and those interested can look into it. The overall temple is very majestic and spectacular. No entrance fee, just scan the QR code to enter. Out of respect for the Buddha statues, I didn't take photos, just some of the exterior buildings, very beautiful. The trip to Xuzhou was rushed, but the overall impression was very good. Xuzhou could have relied on its historical and cultural heritage to develop its tourism industry, but it chose to develop its industrial manufacturing industry instead, with 70% of the industry belonging to XCMG. It's a city with both strength and effort , very clean overall, with heating in winter, and flavors that suit northerners, heavy on salt and spice, suitable for those who like history, short trips, and have limited time
