Xuzhou, known as Pengcheng in ancient times, has a splendid culture of 6000 years. Emperor Yao established Dapeng country. With a history of more than 2,500 years, it is the earliest city in Jiangsu. Yu Xia divided the whole country into Kyushu, and Xuzhou was one of them. Xuzhou is a national historical and cultural city, the hometown of Liu Bang, the ancestor of Emperor Gaozu, with profound historical and cultural heritage.
Xuzhou is located at the junction of Jiangsu, Shandong, Henan and Anhui provinces. It is the key to the north and the gateway to the south. Geographical location is very important, and it has been a battleground for military strategists since ancient times. With developed transportation and complete infrastructure, it is known as the thoroughfare of five provinces. It is the second largest railway hub in China, where Beijing-Shanghai and Longhai railway trunk lines meet. There are 5 national highways and 20 provincial highways extending in all directions. The Beijing-Shanghai and Huolian expressway under construction pass through Xuzhou. The Beijing-Hangzhou Canal passes through the territory, and there are four inland ports along the coast.
Xuzhou's tourism resources can best represent Chinese culture. Xuzhou is the hometown of Emperor Gaozu Liu Bang. After Liu Bang proclaimed himself emperor, he made his brother Jiao and built his capital Pengcheng Xuzhou. The throne of the king of Chu lasted for more than ten generations and lasted for hundreds of years. During this period, Xuzhou was economically developed and enjoyed political privileges, leaving a large number of cultural relics for today. The Han Dynasty stone reliefs, the Han Terracotta Warriors and other unearthed cultural relics represented by the Han Group are numerous, with high grade and great ornamental value. Judging from the excavation, its scale, quantity and grade are the highest in China.
The cultural remains of the Han Dynasty in Xuzhou have five characteristics: First, they are large in scale. Among the eight tombs of the King of Chu that have been excavated, the smallest is more than 400 square meters, and the largest is more than 800 square meters. Most of them have been cut into mountains, and the project is huge and amazing. Second, there are many Han tombs and many unearthed cultural relics. In the Han Dynasty, there were 13 generations of Chu kings and 5 generations of Pengcheng kings in Xuzhou, most of which have been discovered and 8 generations have been excavated. The collection of cultural relics of the Han Dynasty unearthed in Xuzhou, especially jade articles of the Han Dynasty, is very rich. There are four kinds of jade clothes: gold, silver, copper and silk. Third, the structure of Han tombs is extremely accurate, and its advanced technology is unimaginable to the world. Fourthly, the stone reliefs in the Han Dynasty are profound in content, depicting all aspects of society, politics, economy, culture and ethics in the Han Dynasty. Fifth, there are various types of cultural tourism resources in China. In addition to Han tombs, Han stone reliefs, Han terracotta warriors and horses and a large number of unearthed cultural relics, other Han cultural landscapes are also very rich. Sishui Pavilion, Ge Fengtai and Lu Bu shot and killed Ji Tai, Baimenlou, Xiang Yu Circus, Jiulishan Ancient Battlefield Site, etc. In addition, Yunlong Mountain in Xuzhou, Hefang Pavilion in Su Dongpo, Huiji Pavilion, Peng Zu Site and Huaihai Campaign Memorial Tower are all tourist attractions with great ornamental value.
The natural landscape of Xuzhou has the characteristics of North America and South America, so the Yellow River passes through the city, the Grand Canal flows alongside the city, the mountain cities are connected, and the mountains and rivers are interdependent. Yunlong lake, near the city, is full of blue waves. Quanshan National Forest Park is connected with yunlong lake, covering an area of 1.600 mu, with beautiful scenery of spring and autumn fruits, summer shade and winter snow.
Xuzhou has always been the place where Zhong Ling Yu Xiu, Hidden Dragon and Crouching Tiger. Peng Zu, the originator of China Yijing regimen, Liu Bang, the emperor of the Han Dynasty, Xiang Yu, an outstanding genius, Bai Juyi in the Tang Dynasty, Su Dongpo, Wen Tianxiang, Fang Xiaoru and Pan Jixun in the Qing Dynasty, Li Keran, a master of contemporary Chinese painting, and Kyle, a famous musician, all worked or lived in Xuzhou.
Today's Xuzhou people are writing a new chapter in history with their diligence and wisdom. Towering tall buildings and lush green grass interweave into a vibrant and energetic urban landscape.
Beautiful Xuzhou is warmly welcoming friends from all corners of the country with open arms.
I only know the following route:
Yunlong mountain scenic spot
It is a famous mountain in northern Jiangsu and one of the important scenic forests in Xuzhou Natural Scenic Area. The mountains are covered with huge stones and beautiful forests and valleys. Yunlong Mountain consists of nine hills, winding like a dragon from north to south. It is named because mountains are often shrouded in clouds.
Yunlong Mountain is 3 kilometers long, and the northern end is adjacent to the urban area, with an altitude of 142 meters, which is convenient for sightseeing. When Xu Ren was a satrap, Dongpo once climbed the mountain to enjoy the scenery. He personally wrote the inscription "He Ting Ji", which is now hidden in the mountains. Now the mountain is full of pine and cypress, evergreen all the year round, and there is a pavilion on the top of the mountain for people to rest. The main scenery on the mountain is crane pavilion, crane pavilion, crane spring and stele gallery. Xinghua Temple at the east foot has a big stone Buddha, Dashiyan at the west foot has a carved Guanyin statue, Yunlong Academy has a stone bed on the east slope, and Huangmaogang has a cliff stone carving. Now, some historical sites have been repaired, Woniu Spring has been rebuilt, and the platform of Zhao Heting has been expanded, adding a new look to Yunlong Mountain and becoming a must-see for Chinese and foreign guests to come to Xuzhou.
