The marvel of the Guishan Han Tomb lies in how the ancients meticulously carved such a straight passage 2,000 years ago, crafted the massive stone blocks to fit perfectly together, and stacked the blocks, each weighing several tons, onto the passage. The scale of the work was so immense that it practically hollowed out the entire Guishan Mountain. The precision of the work is truly breathtaking.

I was lucky enough to meet the tour guide, Ms. Xiuxiu, who explained in a detailed and professional manner and patiently answered every question I had. She also enthusiastically recommended many local delicacies. I give a thumbs up to the lovely Ms. Xiuxiu 👍🏻
Apart from the lack of sunshades in the waiting area at Tianmen Gate, which was a bit disappointing in the heat, the museum's exhibitions were generally good. I was lucky enough to see the Yungang Grottoes special exhibition today. Our guide, Zhang, was also very attentive and interactive throughout the entire process, patiently and meticulously explaining each treasure. Thank you very much!

The Lion Mountain Tomb of the King of Chu, located in the eastern suburbs of Xuzhou, is the resting place of a Chu king from the early Western Han Dynasty. The identity of the tomb owner remains a matter of debate within the academic community. The mainstream view is that it was the third-generation Chu King, Liu Wu, while some experts speculate it could have been the second-generation Chu King, Liu Yingke.
As you descend the tomb passage, the coolness deepens, like natural air conditioning. The nearly vertical rock faces, rising 15 meters on either side of the passage, are awe-inspiring. It's hard to imagine that such a magnificent undertaking could have been carved out of the mountain over 2,000 years ago by craftsmen using only simple tools like chisels and axes, one chisel at a time.
The tomb chamber is divided into several side chambers and side rooms with different functions, including a kitchen, a royal treasury, and a ritual and music room. These well-equipped rooms vividly recreate the luxurious life of the Chu king and embody the Han Dynasty's burial philosophy of "treating the dead as if they were alive." The most astounding discovery was the "Golden Jade Suit," crafted from over 4,000 pieces of fine Hetian white jade and woven with gold thread. Its sheer number of jade pieces and exquisite craftsmanship far surpass other known Han Dynasty jade suits (most comprise only around 2,100 pieces), making it a truly exceptional treasure. Also unearthed was a magnificent jade-inlaid lacquer coffin, further highlighting the tomb occupant's noble status.
Despite historical looting, the tomb still yielded over 2,000 precious artifacts. After the visit, I was filled with sincere admiration for the wisdom and perseverance of the ancients and a deeper appreciation for the profound culture of the Han Dynasty.
The Chu and Han styles still linger, and the fireworks in Pengcheng intoxicate the world.
I came to Xuzhou to play the game. I visited the Han Tomb at Turtle Mountain (very crowded, my feet were stepped on countless times), the Han Tomb at Shizishan Mountain (less crowded), and the underwater Terracotta Warriors (so-so).

This is a large-scale cultural high-tech theme park that combines traditional Chinese culture with Xuzhou's local culture. The park has a variety of projects, including immersive experience projects such as "Flying" and "The Wind Song" created with cutting-edge technology, thrilling roller coasters, pendulums and other amusement facilities, as well as warm areas suitable for parent-child play. It can provide tourists of different ages with a one-stop happy experience of "eating, drinking, traveling, shopping and entertainment", and is a good place for family travel to release joy.
No one, no one, no one. I went there in mid-February. There were less than 40 people in the whole hospital. Basically, all the equipment can be used unlimitedly as long as it is turned on. My son had a great time. We stayed at the Boonie Bears Hotel, which is very convenient for entering the park.

Xuzhou Yunlong Mountain Cableway is located on the beautiful Yunlong Lake, crossing the Yunlong Mountains. The cableway is 1200 meters long and 88 meters vertical height. The fruit tree pot art park is connected to the observation deck in the west. The East Station is opposite to Pengzuyuan. It crosses Yunlong Mountain and interlocks the entire scenic spot into one, forming a three-dimensional transportation system. Tourists can see the scenery of Yunlong Lake through the sky on the cableway.
Speaking of Xuzhou, Yunlong Mountain and Yunlong Lake are definitely the soul of this city!
Xuzhou has now become a well-deserved "Internet celebrity" city with high appearance, convenient transportation, stable prices, and a really good price-performance ratio.
Yunlong Lake is indeed very beautiful. Looking down at Yunlong Lake from Yunlong Mountain, it is simply a landscape painting.
Yunlong Mountain is not very high, and it is not too tiring to climb on foot, but the weather is too hot, so the cable car has become the choice of most people. Queuing is almost the norm. It is absolutely a high probability event to queue for two hours in the big tent on weekends and Sundays, and you have to queue up to go down the mountain.
Fortunately, there was a local guide who took the "Pengzu Garden Cableway" down the mountain. It took ten minutes to get in line. I also played a few scenic spots there, and then took a taxi to Yunlong Lake. It was so cool!

After seeing a video online about "Xiao Ge has no muscles," I decided to visit Xuzhou on a whim. The park features three heavily muscled NPCs, truly different from those in Xuzhou Paradise Happy World. Their dedication to hard work is evident in their physiques. Xiao Ge is very enthusiastic, and the Fahai costume really suits him. His interaction with the 190cm tall "Brother Rui" was quite engaging. There's also "Xiao Du," dressed as a mermaid, who also looks great. There are some differences here from Xuzhou Paradise Happy World. Because they have to change into swimsuits, it's not a fan meeting, making it easier for visitors to find the NPCs. The NPCs in Water World have an easier time than in Happy World, but I imagine they'll tire of the repetitive tasks. Park staff might need to organize more innovative activities.
This Water World is very densely populated, primarily with nearby residents who come to enjoy the water. Seeing the joyful crowds gives you a sense of the city's happiness.
I'd seen short videos of NPC interactions at Xuzhou Amusement Park and decided to check it out.
Upon entering, I discovered it was an established amusement park, majority owned by the listed Suzhou High-Tech, a state-owned enterprise in Suzhou. The park's online promotion was quite good, and many people, like me, must have come because of the eye-catching NPCs.
The rides were essentially the same, but the lines were definitely shorter than at the Shanghai amusement park. The park must have outsourced the NPC activities to a private company, which wasn't quite what I'd expected. It seemed like each NPC had developed their own fan base, and there were formal lines for photos and interactions, a bit like an underground idol fan meeting. I tried it, and each NPC queued for about 20 minutes, with each line around 10 people. Each person spent quite a bit of time interacting with the NPCs, roughly two minutes. The NPCs are indeed very handsome. Some are new, while others are permanent. I met "Wen Yan" and "Sleeping Sheep," both of whom are handsome and easygoing. While their work is quite demanding, everyone follows a relatively standardized process, allowing fans to capture the right photos and videos.
However, I still have some suggestions for improvement for Xuzhou Paradise: 1. Actively research NPC interaction models. Currently, NPC interaction is disconnected from the overall park atmosphere. The fans NPCs serve are essentially separated from the tourists themselves, with no real connection. 2. Increase the randomness of NPCs in the park and provide a stronger interactive experience. This will better integrate NPCs into the park's core, encouraging first-time visitors to visit more frequently or recommend it to others. 3. Increase the NPCs' attributes related to Xuzhou Park and local culture. The park will invest in traffic, but ultimately retain some of the park's own IP. The park's NPCs can help promote the park and Xuzhou (Jiangsu) in daily activities, rather than simply turning them into fan meetings. In that case, it wouldn't matter whether they were held in Xuzhou Park, another amusement park, Yunlong Lake, or any random teahouse. This would also be better for the NPCs' long-term career development, allowing them to share in the park's increased revenue.

With the support of light and shadow technology and immersive experience, it combines waterfront live performances, light and shadow performances, situational dramas and immersive interactive performances, and cleverly integrates drama, film, visual arts, etc., allowing tourists to "sit in the boat and the boat sails in the play" and experience the aesthetic realm of "the same moon in ancient and modern times, and the same clear light across thousands of miles."
The stage lighting is still very hard, and what is also commendable is that every actor is very dedicated. Especially the actors of the young Su Shi and Jia Yuanwai are very dedicated. As an important business card of Xuzhou's cultural tourism, it is worthy of praise! It is suggested that there can be more interactive programs, and some more interactive ancient programs can be added on the roadsides on both sides. The light show on the boat is very good

This hotel in Xuzhou offers truly exceptional hospitality.
Traveling with my family and children, we were thoroughly taken care of. Even before we arrived, the housekeeper contacted us. Manager Lu learned we had children and provided a special children's bath and shower kit, slippers, and toothbrush sets. We even found the mosquito coils already charged when we arrived!
We opted for an electric car, and they provided directions to the charging station in the basement, saving us a lot of time.
The hotel has its own private lake, offering stunning views. We were assigned a room facing the sun, which had a fantastic view and fresh air. There's also a lawn near the lake, with peacocks and swans playing nearby. The kids had a blast!
We were very satisfied with our stay. The scenery is beautiful, the air is fresh, and it's a great place to breathe in the fresh air. Highly recommended!
This is a great place for a family outing. After a full day, the kids didn't want to leave and wanted to come back for more! The dolphin show was incredibly entertaining, allowing you to experience the charm of marine life up close! If you're interested, go for it! You won't be disappointed!

It's a great place to take your kids out. There are a lot of animal species. You can see lions, tigers and pandas up close. The kids are very happy. The park is well planned and you won't feel tired walking. There are also small trains and performances along the way. It's especially suitable for the whole family. The environment is clean and the staff are very enthusiastic. I will come again next time!
The children were very interested in the zoo. There is a car rental point as soon as you enter the park. It is cheaper to rent a car for a long time. The park is built on a mountain and there are a lot of slopes. It is more convenient to rent a car in a group. The big circus is good and worth seeing.
