🔥 Xuzhou Citywalk Complete Guide: Unlock Han Dynasty Charm + Night Fireworks Feast in 3 Days, Please Keep This "Ancient and Modern Time Travel Guide"!
✨ Millennium Han Soul Immersive Experience
As the core landmark of "Two Han Dynasties Culture in Xuzhou," the Han Culture Scenic Area (No. 1 Bingmayong Road) integrates the mystery of the Chu King’s Mausoleum underground palace, the majesty of the Han Terracotta Army formation, and the epic feel of Han dynasty stone reliefs. It is recommended to visit early in the morning to avoid crowds, rent a Hanfu costume to shoot stunning traditional Chinese style photos in the Han Painting Corridor, and participate in the "Han Dynasty Armor Wearing" experience in the afternoon to personally touch bronze weapons from 2,000 years ago. Upgrade your night experience with the Guishan Han Tomb Night Tour (No. 3 Xiangwang North Road), which opens a "cool archaeology" mode with a 21°C constant temperature tomb chamber, poetry light boards, and Han-style gate light shows. Night tour tickets are half price and come with complimentary mung bean soup, turning the millennium underground palace into a secret summer retreat.
🌿 Poetic Stroll Between Lakes and Mountains
Yunlong Lake Scenic Area (Huzhong Road) welcomes a newly upgraded water world this summer (north side of Shayue Island). For 58 yuan, enjoy jungle adventures, island loop trains, and dome cinemas; children under 1.2 meters enter free! Rent a shared bike at dusk to cycle around the lake. When passing by Xiaonan Lake’s Su Gong Tower, catch the sunset casting golden light on the lake surface—every snapshot looks like "Xuzhou’s version of Erhai Lake."
