General presentation
Bozhou
Traditional medicine, ancient cellars and heritage linked to Cao Cao give a strong identity to this town of the north of Anhui.
Military Tunnels in Cao Cao, Bozhou Museum of Chinese Medicine and Cao Cao Memorial Park give the most telling landmarks in Bozhou. Together, they form a destination where urban life and heritage meet, with atmospheres that change over the stages rather than just one uniform decor.

Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
Place indismissible
Tunnels militaires de Cao Cao
An underground network is traditionally associated with the defences built during the time of Cao Cao. An early visit allows you to better observe local usages and the details of the place, while avoiding some of the groups and traffic.
Museum
Musée de la médecine chinoise de Bozhou
The collections explain pharmacopoeia, plant trade and the current role of the large local market. The collections and remains take time to go beyond a mere photographic stop; a visit helps to understand their regional historical context.
Place indismissible
Parc mémoriel de Cao Cao
Gardens, statues and rooms present the warlord's connection to his native region. Distances, weather and access conditions must be checked before departure; water, adapted shoes and time limits remain useful outside the cities.
Temple
Temple de Hua Tuo
The sanctuary honors the doctor of the end of the Han traditionally born in Bozhou. The place remains culturally sensitive and discovers itself with discretion, without hindering local practices; schedules, outfits and photographic rules are to be checked on the spot.
