Xuzhou Museum

Xuzhou Museum is located at the northern foot of Yunlong Mountain, on the former site of the imperial palace used by Emperor Qianlong during his southern tour in 1757. To the southwest of the museum are the relics of a Western Han quarry, to the southeast are the Qianlong imperial palace and the Stele Garden, and to the north is the Eastern Han Tushan Tomb. The museum is the core, and it is said that 'to see the culture of the Han Dynasty, one must visit Xuzhou.' The cultural relics unearthed from various Han tombs in Xuzhou are collected in the Xuzhou Museum. Just being able to see the jade garments with gold, silver, and copper threads in one visit can thrill any cultural relic enthusiast. The 'Iron Horses and Bronze Spears' exhibition hall on the first floor displays various ancient weapons; in the Deng Yongqing Collection of Calligraphy and Painting, one can see the ink treasures of masters such as Bada Shanren (Zhu Da), Qi Baishi, and Xu Beihong. The 'Heavenly Craftsmanship in Han Jade' exhibition hall on the second floor is worth a visit, where the jade garment with gold threads unearthed from the Lion Mountain Chu King's Tomb is displayed as the 'treasure of the museum.' Of course, some visitors find the adjacent jade-inlaid lacquer coffin even more impressive due to its massive size, which also comes from the Lion Mountain Chu King's Tomb. The silver and copper-threaded jade garments are also in this exhibition hall. The 'Han Dynasty Treasures' on the second floor features a silver seal with a turtle knob from the Guishan Han Tomb, which has an interesting story; it was retrieved from a local youth and helped identify the owner of the Guishan Han Tomb as Liu Zhu. The 'Splendid Figurines' exhibition hall on the third floor displays pottery figurines from the Han to Tang dynasties.

🥸 'Xuzhou Museum' (advance reservation required) The area around the museum is the 'Qianlong Imperial Palace' (free of charge). Directly opposite the museum is the entrance to 'Yunlong Mountain' It takes about 1h to walk from the entrance to the viewing platform, with stops along the way (the Yunlong Mountain cable car is not long!! Ride selectively). It is recommended to exit from the west gate when descending the mountain 🥸 'Yunlong Lake' Recommended cycling route for a leisurely tour: East Lake Road to Jinshan Park, then Lake Center Road After dinner, you can stroll around Suning or Wenmiao 🥸 Recommended for dinner: Xuzhou barbecue Any barbecue restaurant with small tables at the entrance and full of people is fine 🥸 For breakfast, go to Hubu Mountain for Ma Shi Street sha soup sha soup (with egg) + eight-section youtiao Don't eat too much, have lunch early, otherwise, you'll have to queue for a long time Hubu Mountain Antique market Food recommendations 🥸 Breakfast: It's suggested to try the Ma Shi Street sa soup, seriously there are so many options, remember to bring an egg. When I went there, it was so crowded that I chose a set meal, which included a little bit of everything, and I thought it was quite good and not too expensive. The key point is that the first floor was too crowded, really no place to sit. After eating, you can take a walk nearby, opposite is an ancient building where you can digest your meal. 🥸 Lunch: It's suggested that everyone could try the local pot chicken 🥸 Dinner: You can wait until later in the evening to go to Fuguo Street for snacks. Xuzhou is especially lively at night. You can go for a Yunlong tea. Fuguo Street is full of eateries, and the 1818 Food Plaza is also very close, about a 5-minute walk. These two places are great for wandering, eating, and drinking.

😄 Coming from the museum or Hubu Mountain, go up the mountain from the north gate The square in front of the museum has been renovated, and the north gate of Yunlong Mountain is now open, which leads directly to the top of Yijie Mountain, passing through the stone archway, Qu Gang jumping fish, Xi Yu Pavilion, Zhang Shanren's former residence, and Dashi Rock Temple. Then keep heading south to the observation deck. 😄 Going up the mountain from Xinghua Zen Temple Xinghua Zen Temple is equivalent to the east gate, where you can visit the temple and offer incense. The path leads up the mountain, and the exit is at the top of Yijie Mountain, Fanghe Pavilion, Zhang Shanren's former residence, and then turn left all the way south to the observation deck. 😄 Going up the mountain from the west gate, heading straight to the observation deck If you want to go directly to the observation deck, it takes about ten minutes to reach it from the west gate entrance, and about ten minutes to go down the mountain. The west gate is also the closest entrance to Yunlong Lake and Marriott. 😄 Cable car There are two cable car boarding points, east and west. The west side is close to Yunlong Lake, and the cable car scenery is also different. You can enjoy the beautiful scenery while going up the mountain. In addition, Yunlong Mountain has a total of 9 sections, and each section of the mountain has different entrances to go up the mountain, so you can choose the nearest one. Main attractions of Yunlong Mountain: observation deck, Xinghua Zen Temple, Dashi Rock Temple, Zhang Shanren's former residence, Han Dynasty Relief Stone Art Museum, Yunlong Academy, etc. 😄 Yunlong Lake → Yunlong Mountain Cableway → Xuzhou Museum → Hui Long Nest → Hubu Mountain → Xi Ma Tai → 1818 Night Market → Bao Lian Temple 😄 Yunlong Lake is really beautiful. It's very pleasant to walk by the lake, feel the breeze, and watch the sunset. At sunset, the entire lake is shimmering, and the distant mountains stretch on endlessly. Watching the sun slowly set among the mountains, the whole scene is like a huge landscape painting. 😄 Bao Lian Temple is also very worth visiting. The architecture is grand and atmospheric, and it's also very photogenic.
