There are very beautiful scenic spots in Xuzhou, where you can visit some ancient buildings and some landscapes, which will definitely not let you down, so are you interested in learning about the city? By the way, you can also try local food. Scenic spot recommendation

Xuzhou, located in the northwest corner of Jiangsu Province, is far away from the political and economic prosperity circle of the Yangtze River Delta, but it is at the junction of northern Jiangsu, southern Shandong, eastern Henan and northern Anhui, where culture blends.

There are naturally hills here, and lakes are formed by controlling water storage. Although the geographical location is somewhat "neither south nor north", the scenery has the characteristics of "south show and north male".

As the hometown of Emperor Liu in the Han Dynasty, tombs were buried under the hill, leaving behind the tombs, terracotta warriors and horses and stone reliefs of the Han Dynasty, known as the "Three Wonders of the Two Han Dynasties". There are also many large parks in modern cities, and the scenery around Yunlong Lake is fascinating. There is no shortage of local delicacies that are unique among Jiangsu cuisine, such as mutton soup.

Pizhou

Ginkgo trees with brilliant colors in autumn have a long history of planting in Pizhou, a city under the jurisdiction of Xuzhou, and now it has reached the scale of 1 million trees. Every autumn, the countryside is full of golden leaves, which is spectacular. An ancient ginkgo tree in Baima Temple in Sihu Town has been around for more than 1,5 years, with a height of 21 meters, which can produce thousands of pounds of ginkgo fruit every year. In the Ginkgo Expo Park in Gangshang Town, there are two thousand-year-old sister ginkgo trees standing side by side, and hundreds of ancient ginkgo trees over a hundred years old.

On both sides of the road in Yaozhuang Village, Tiefu Town, there are tall ginkgo trees with dense branches and leaves, forming an arched corridor above the road. In the morning and evening light and shadow, the color is blurred and attractive, especially on camera. This corridor is also called "Ginkgo just visiting".

Xuzhou Museum

No.11 Heping Road

closed on Monday from 9: to 17: .

Visiting this museum, which is a collection of national treasures unearthed from the Han tombs such as Lion Mountain, Guishan Mountain and Beidong Mountain, was far more shocking than some provincial museums.

The most worth visiting carefully is the "Tiangong Hanyu" exhibition hall located on the second floor of the museum, where there are the treasures of the town hall-the golden jade clothes of the tomb of the King of Chu in Lion Mountain, as well as the glittering jade coffins, dragons, jade ornaments, silver jade clothes, jade plaques, etc., and there is also an interpretation of the jade used for funeral in the Han Dynasty.

Don't ignore the Tushan Han Tomb in the courtyard behind the museum. The archaeological work here is still going on, and the huge tombstone with a large area is shocking. Next to the trail that goes deep into the tomb, neatly cut yellow intestine stones are stacked, and silver wisps of jade clothes are displayed in the tomb.

Lion Mountain Han Culture Scenic Area

No.1 Terracotta Warriors Road

8: 3 ~ 17: 3 in summer and 8: 3 ~ 16: 3 in winter

As the first of the top ten archaeological discoveries in China in 1995, even though many unearthed cultural relics of Chu Wang Mausoleum in Lion Mountain have been transferred to museums, it is still worth going deep underground to see. The "Three Exquisites of the Han Dynasty" composed of the Han Tomb, the Terracotta Warriors and Horses and the Han Stone Relief allows you to enjoy the essence of Chinese culture.

After entering the huge exhibition hall of the Chu Mausoleum in Lion Mountain, you will feel the coexistence of grandeur and gloom. When entering the underground palace along the tomb entrance, please pay attention to the "unfinished" signs of this image project of Emperor Liu: the back room was roughly excavated and the coffin was actually placed in the front hall. These hasty results are extremely disproportionate to the grand framework, and it is also an important proof for textual research that the tomb owner is Liu Wu, the third generation king of Chu who committed suicide in the "Seven Kingdoms Rebellion".

The terracotta warriors displayed in the Han Terracotta Warriors Museum and the Underwater Terracotta Warriors Museum are far smaller than the terracotta warriors led by Qin Shihuang, but they are all equipped with infantry, military horses, military officials, chariots, etc. Nearly a thousand small terracotta warriors with solemn faces form an "army of the undead". Like the terracotta warriors, the terracotta warriors here also had bright colors when they were first unearthed, but they were oxidized and faded due to inadequate protection technology. Therefore, the No.3 pit on the side has not been officially cleared and excavated.

Exploring ancient tombs: Lion Mountain, Guishan Mountain and Beidong Mountain

At present, most of the unearthed cultural relics of these three Han tombs are collected in Xuzhou Museum, but the original tomb sites are still worth exploring by travelers who love history. In addition to the Lion Mountain introduced earlier, Guishan and Beidong Mountain are also well preserved.

Tomb of the Han Dynasty in Guishan: Walking into this tomb of the Han Dynasty, which is superior to the Chu Mausoleum in Lion Mountain in scale and fineness, you will find that there are also exquisite works in the tomb, including "luxury houses" such as concierge, living room, well, kitchen and weapon room.

Han Tomb in Beidongshan: If you want to visit a tomb that is rarely visited by tourists, then this Han Tomb with inconvenient transportation should be included in the itinerary. The most distinctive feature of this tomb of Chu Wang, whose owner is unknown, is the attached tomb with a duplex structure. During the whole visit, you may be the only one who walks alone in the cold and humid tomb, and those who like Tomb Notes and Ghost Blowing Lights will like it.

Han Dynasty Stone Relief Art Museum

Hudong Road

9: ~ 17:

Shuiyue Temple

Baitanghe Wetland Park on Xiapi Avenue

Buddhist temples in the traditional sense are always inseparable from the mysterious and solemn halls with yellow walls and cornices. Shuiyue Temple in Suining County, however, has made an alternative interpretation of Buddhist architecture with modern aesthetics and brand-new architectural forms.

Zen temples are all buildings with simple lines, and there is no big roof, so they are replaced by square shapes. The fa? ade is not a brick wall, but a wood-like grille, and the roots of the grille go up into the sky, forming a bright corridor with the inner layer. Such a structural form makes the whole building have an effect of "being solid and virtual, moving and stagnant, flexible and transparent". Travel information

Gourmet

The delicious food that reflects Xuzhou people's bold and unrestrained character is the earth pot, with a heavy color and strong taste, a dark stove rack, and a noisy environment. The authentic and simple food style will leave a deep impression on you. In addition to local home-cooked dishes such as pot, steamed buns and thousand knives of meat, Xuzhou also has the tradition of eating mutton.

Different from the habit of eating pork in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River, Xuzhou mutton soup is unique in Jiangsu cuisine. It seems rough to cook mutton and mutton offal in one pot, so it needs careful cooking to cook a pot of milky and thick soup. In addition to eating mutton soup to warm up in winter, there is a tradition of eating mutton soup for tonic in the rainy days, which is said to come from Peng Zu's secret recipe for health preservation.

The most legendary are two famous foods: the sheep hides fish, and the word "fresh" composed of sheep and fish is born from this; Pheasant soup is the old hen soup that people still love to eat today. It is said that Peng Zujin offered this soup to cure Yaodi's illness. For thousands of years, cooking skills have naturally undergone considerable improvement and changes, but today you can still taste these delicious foods on the streets of Xuzhou, such as fish and mutton fresh in Liuwu mutton restaurant and mashijie _(shá) soup evolved from pheasant soup.

Where to eat

There are three places where delicious food gathers: the Julong Night Market in the alley next to the Second Hospital, where the stalls are full of snacks; Located in the 1818 food city in Jiahe East Street, south of Huanglou, shops of all tastes are clustered together; The lakeside Xintiandi on the bank of Yunlong Lake has opened many restaurants with both emotional appeal and delicious taste.
