Xuzhou, the largest city in northern Jiangsu, is the second largest railway hub in China and the "North Gateway" of the Yangtze River Delta. With a long history as the purported hometown of nine imperial rulers, Xuzhou is known as the "Eastern Athens" for its wealth of cultural heritage sites, scenic spots, and profound historical foundations.

Blending northern ruggedness with southern grace, Xuzhou is a uniquely charming destination for scenic tourism. Ancient battlefields, imperial tombs, and natural landscapes allow travelers to immerse themselves in the region's rich history and natural beauty. As both a modern transportation hub and treasury of Chinese tradition, Xuzhou rewards visitors with its cultural depth and diversity.
