My friends, you all know what I mean! I thought Xuzhou was all about "diguo chicken" (a type of stew), but after visiting, I'm totally hooked! It's a feast of 2000 years of Han culture, plus a carb-heavy meal that will leave you stuffed! Perfect for students on a budget of under 500 RMB, it's all about value for money! 😋 This is a tried-and-tested, foolproof guide – grab your food buddies and go! Pre-trip Preparations & Accommodation Tips 🏠 • Transportation: High-speed rail goes directly to Xuzhou East Station. City buses are super convenient, and taxis across districts are inexpensive. Two people sharing a ride will only cost around ten RMB per person – even better than squeezing onto the subway! • Accommodation: Go for accommodation near Hubushan/Huilongwo! You can walk to the night market and Ximatai, and grab a bite at a traditional breakfast spot in the morning. No need to waste time commuting. Students can choose chain hotels or budget-friendly guesthouses; you can find clean and comfortable accommodations for around 100 RMB, and most importantly, they're close to restaurants! • Essentials: Student ID (half price at most attractions!), comfortable sneakers (you'll be walking 20,000 steps!), small fan (essential for summer), stomach medicine (Xuzhou cuisine is fragrant and spicy, so those who can't handle spice should prepare in advance). Day 1: Chu-Han Style + Night Market Carnival, a double dose of ancient and modern fun! 🥳 Morning: Breathe in the fresh air at Yunlong Mountain + visit the same spots Su Dongpo frequented. Head straight to Yunlong Mountain after arriving by high-speed rail! No need to get up early to catch the train; arriving at the foot of the mountain at 9 am is perfect. For a less strenuous option, take the cable car up and down the mountain; it's only 20 yuan one way—a dream come true for lazy people! The Xinghua Temple on the mountain houses a massive Northern Wei Dynasty stone Buddha, carved into the mountainside—truly breathtaking. Remember to avoid crowds when taking photos; a silhouette shot from the side is amazing! 📸 Be sure to visit the Fanghe Pavilion, built by Su Shi when he was the prefect of Xuzhou. Sit in the pavilion, feel the breeze, and pretend you're writing "The Record of Fanghe Pavilion"—the artistic and sophisticated atmosphere will be instantly immersive! Walking down the mountain leads to Yunlong Lake, where every shot of the lake and mountains is wallpaper-worthy. No need to specifically look for photo spots; just stroll along the lake, enjoy the free breeze, and focus on pure relaxation. (Secret tip: the shade under the trees by the lake is perfect for taking natural and photogenic best friend pictures!) Lunch: Carb Overload! My First Time with Clay Pot Chicken Heading straight to Pengcheng No. 1 Food Street after descending the mountain, we went for the famous Clay Pot Chicken! When it was served, the pot was covered with cornbread, soaked in the fragrant and chewy broth. The chicken was stewed until tender and falling off the bone. You can choose the mild spiciness level. With rice, we could easily eat two big bowls! 🍚 You can also order a side of cold cattail salad, refreshing and not greasy—that's how the locals eat it! It cost 50+ RMB per person for two people, and we ate until we were stuffed! Afternoon: Ximatai (a place associated with the Chu-Han Contention) + Hubushan (a mountain area for food and exploration) A 15-minute taxi ride to Ximatai. Students got a half-price discount (35 RMB). Climbing the steps instantly transported us to the Chu-Han Contention period! The Overlord's Hall, the statue of Yu Ji, and the remains of the horse-tethering posts—each place has a story. Standing on the viewing platform, you can also see Yunlong Lake in the distance. With your hair blowing in the wind, it's the perfect scene for a classical Chinese photoshoot! ✨ After visiting the Xima Terrace, it's a 5-minute walk to the Hubushan Ancient Residences, which are free to enter! The Ming and Qing dynasty architecture is incredibly charming, and now many creative cultural shops have opened. Buy a small Han culture pendant as a souvenir—it's inexpensive and has a special meaning. Evening: The Grand Finale at Huilongwo Night Market The main event is here! Huilongwo at dusk is so atmospheric! With red lanterns hanging, the Ming and Qing dynasty ancient street instantly transforms into a popular spot for photos. Must-try list: Spicy pancakes rolled with fried dough twists (crispy, savory, and crumbly with every bite), Shata soup with fried buns (the soup is incredibly delicious, and the buns have thin skins and generous fillings), Bazirou jiamo (the fatty meat melts in your mouth, the lean meat is tender, a carb lover's dream), and grilled lamb skewers (freshly grilled, sprinkled with cumin and chili, so fragrant you'll want to stomp your feet!). 🌶️ When you're tired from walking, find a bench to sit on and eat, listening to folk music performances nearby, with a gentle evening breeze – this is the true joy of travel! Day 2: Han Dynasty Tomb Exploration + Museum Treasure Hunt, Cultured Person Initiation 📜 Morning: Wake up early for authentic spicy soup! Don't sleep in! Head to Lianglaifeng or Mashi Street's Shita Tang restaurant before 8 AM to experience the breakfast ritual of Xuzhou locals! The spicy soup is rich and flavorful, containing kelp, tofu skin, and shredded chicken, sprinkled with pepper. A bowl of this will warm you up from head to toe. Pair it with freshly fried buns or fried dough sticks—it's so delicious you'll want to lick the bowl clean! Remember not to order too much, or you won't be able to eat a proper lunch! Morning: A Breathtaking Tour of Guishan Han Tomb Take a 25-minute taxi ride to Guishan Han Tomb. Students get a half-price discount (45 RMB). Be sure to rent an audio guide (10 RMB), otherwise, your trip is wasted! This joint tomb of the Western Han Dynasty Chu Kings is hailed as the "Oriental Pyramid." The tomb passages are precisely connected, with an error of only 5 millimeters—the engineering technology from over 2000 years ago is amazing! 🤯 The "Huangchang Ticou" wooden structure, murals, and weapon racks in the tomb chamber are all well-preserved. The guide will also tell the story of the "failed tomb raiding," which will give you goosebumps! Remember to turn off the flash when taking photos; the depth of the tomb passages is incredible, making for stunning shots. Lunch: Replenish Energy at a Lamb Restaurant After leaving the Guishan Han Tomb, we headed straight to a lamb restaurant on Qingnian Road, a local favorite that's been around for decades! We ordered lamb soup with sesame flatbread. The lamb was tender and not gamey at all, the soup was fresh and creamy, and the flatbread soaked up all the flavor—so satisfying! It cost 60+ RMB per person for two people, and we were full, ready to head to the next stop. Afternoon: Treasure Hunt at Xuzhou Museum + Return Trip Our last stop was the Xuzhou Museum! It's free, but you need to book in advance, as it's closed on Mondays. Don't go empty-handed! The museum's prized possession, the jade burial suit, is a must-see. Thousands of jade pieces are connected by gold thread—the craftsmanship is incredibly exquisite. There are also Han Dynasty terracotta warriors, bronzes, and pottery—a one-stop shop to experience the charm of Han Dynasty culture! ✨ Don't miss the creative ice cream at the museum; it's shaped like the jade burial suit or Han Dynasty terracotta warriors—delicious and photogenic! After eating, we headed to the high-speed rail station for our return trip. A Guide for Female College Students to Avoid Common Pitfalls ⚠️ 1. Xuzhou cuisine tends to be spicy and salty. Remember to specify "less spicy, less salt" when ordering, don't force yourself! 2. It can be a bit chilly inside the Guishan Han Tomb, so even in summer, bring a light jacket and wear sneakers! 3.
