Where to stay and how to get around
- Where to stay: Consider staying near Pengcheng Square or Suning Square in the city center, where Metro Lines 1 and 2 meet and restaurants and sights are easy to reach. For night views, try Hubu Mountain or Huilongwo, areas with many old-style streets.
- High-speed rail: If arriving from another city, take a high-speed train to Xuzhou East Station, then Metro Line 1 into the city center. The metro trip takes about 20 minutes.
- Getting around: Sights in the old city are close together. For short trips, shared electric scooters offer flexible routes and can help you avoid rush-hour traffic. Taxis are relatively affordable for longer trips across the city.
Travel tips
- Museum booking: Book Xuzhou Museum in advance through its WeChat official account. It is closed on Mondays, last entry is at 4:00 p.m., and you should bring your ID card.
- Baolian Temple: Free incense is available inside, so there is no need to buy expensive incense from roadside sellers. Morning visits offer better light and fewer crowds; light-colored clothes work well for photos.
- Navigation: Search for “Yunlong Mountain North Gate” when heading up the mountain; it is convenient after a museum visit. For sunset at Yunlong Lake, navigate to “Yunlong Lake Concert Hall” or “Golden Beach.”
- Avoiding crowds: Fuguo Street and Fengchu Street are busy on weekends. Avoid peak times and keep an eye on your belongings. Huilongwo and the Confucian Temple area are good for an evening visit, when their night views come into their own.
- Weather and clothing: October mornings and evenings in Xuzhou can be much cooler than the daytime, so bring a light jacket. Comfortable shoes with soft soles are a good choice for Yunlong Mountain and the Han tombs.
