General presentation
Xuzhou
Han tombs, stone sculptures and military memory occupy a historic crossroads between North China and Yangzi Valley.
To understand what Xuzhou is, you must look to the Han Terracotta Warriors Museum, Xuzhou Museum and Yunlong Lake. These places give us a view of a territory marked by urban life, heritage and shores and lakes and allow us to move from emblematic sites to more intimate stages.

Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
Museum
Musée des guerriers en terre cuite Han
Thousands of small military figures were discovered near the tomb of Chu in Shizishan. Their different scale of Xi'an reveals another way of representing the funerary power. Architectural details are better discovered without haste.
Museum
Musée de Xuzhou
The museum brings together jades, funeral objects and sculptures related to Han kingdoms in the area. It gives the keys to connect tombs scattered around the city. Architectural details are better discovered without haste.
Lake
Lac Yunlong
Yunlong Lake extends to the foothills of wooded hills west of the centre. Walks and viewpoints offer a daily break between archaeological sites. Tides, wind and season significantly alter the experience.
