This summer,
The popularity of the cultural and tourism market in Xuzhou continues to rise, among which study tours have become a popular choice in the "summer season" due to their unique charm.

By combining the rich resources of Han culture, mountain and water culture, red culture, and other hot topics, Xuzhou has turned the journey into a "walking classroom" by setting up a platform for studying and consuming.

PART.01 Cultural Study, Walking on the Urban Context
Context is the root and soul of urban development. This summer, relying on its resource advantages, "Seven Miles of Pengcheng" has become a "treasure trove" for study tours.

The bamboo cane and shoes are lighter than horses, who is afraid? A misty rain can last a lifetime. "The performance of" Pengcheng Fenghua "in Yunlong Lake Scenic Area," Su Shi "travels through time and space, leading tourists to open the story of Su Shi, the governor of Xuzhou in the Northern Song Dynasty. After a journey of over an hour, Ms. Wang from Suzhou, Anhui, was still unsatisfied. She said she specially brought her children to watch the performance, "This performance not only allows the children to learn about Su Shi's life story, but also to feel the charm of traditional culture

What materials are these animal heads made of? "" How were they retrieved? "" What other animal heads have not been found? "This summer, a special exhibition of animal heads from the Yuanmingyuan was held at the Xuzhou Museum, and students from the Yuanmingyuan Animal Head Study Camp gathered around their mentors, asking their own questions.

The Xuzhou Museum is a pearl on the "Seven Miles of Pengcheng". This summer, the "cultural and museum fever" continues to heat up, attracting tens of thousands of young people to go to Xuzhou for study tours. In the Xuzhou travel guide on social media, visiting museums has become a must visit item. According to statistics, the total daily number of visitors to Xuzhou Museum is currently around 8000.

As the birthplace and gathering place of Han culture, Xuzhou's 6000 year history of civilization has left behind a large amount of cultural heritage, including lifelike pottery figurines, various silverware, ceramics, bronze ware, and the famous golden thread jade clothes... This summer, many parents bring their children to museums to closely observe cultural relics and gain a deep understanding of the stories behind them, based on what they have learned from textbooks.

In addition, the Xuzhou Museum also held research and learning activities during the summer, such as handmade woodblock watermarking techniques, intangible cultural heritage lacquer fan production, and clay sculpture of the twelve zodiac animals, allowing children to experience and appreciate the charm of traditional culture.

Ximatai, Huilongwo, Xuzhou Han Painting Stone Art Museum... The city is full of learning, along the "Seven Miles of Pengcheng", appreciating the thousand year old cultural context and admiring the city's charm. Recently, the "Intangible Cultural Heritage Nurturing Childhood" research and study tour project of the ancient dwellings in Hubushan has been listed on the "Top 100 Cases List" of 2023 National Cultural Heritage Tourism Cases and Route Promotion and Exhibition Activities.

As the connection point between traditional culture and modern life, Wenmiao District and Yundong Cultural District have also been successfully favored by urban study tourists. Here, the millennium cultural heritage of the city is integrated with the commercial district economy, and ancient and modern cultures complement each other, attracting fans of all ages to deeply experience the context and characteristics of Xuzhou city.

PART.02 Red Study, Colorful Experience Full of Heat


Visit the Red Exhibition Hall and look back on history in revolutionary cultural relics; Entering the holy land of revolution and experiencing the red spirit firsthand; Listening to red propaganda and cultivating patriotism in red stories... As a city of red and heroes, Xuzhou has a glorious revolutionary tradition and rich red culture.
There are more than 8500 revolutionary cultural relics, 9 well-known red scenic spots, and 73 patriotic education bases at or above the city level in the city. Red research has become an indispensable carrier for the development of red tourism in Xuzhou.

According to industry insiders, research activities centered around the theme of "red" mainly involve leading students to visit red scenic spots and retrace the red path, allowing them to personally experience that era of war and inherit red culture and patriotic spirit.

From the Huaihai Campaign Martyrs Memorial Tower to the Xuzhou Battle Memorial Hall, from the Xiaoluobutou Memorial Hall to the Xuzhou Xiaoyaotou Martyrs Cemetery, from the site of the Wu Yalu Revolution to the site of the "No. 8 Gate Incident", these red attractions are popular "check-in spots" for students' summer study.

This summer, the Fengzhigu Scenic Area in Jiawang District is particularly popular. Expansion training programs with themes such as "Revisiting the Long March" and "Military Summer Camp" integrate red education themed study tours into the scenic area. The "Revisiting the Long March" study tour features multiple iconic nodes throughout the journey, allowing participants, especially children, to gain a deeper understanding of the arduous journey and historical significance of the Long March.

PART.03 Ecological Study, Move the Classroom into Nature

On the morning of August 24th, a special study group arrived at Pan'an Lake National Wetland Park, asking, "Is this wetland naturally formed or artificially constructed?" and "What are the bird species in the wetland and what are their living habits.

We are a family gathering among comrades in arms, and everyone has come from all over the country. Thinking that there are many children, we signed up for a study tour, "said Mr. Wang from the study tour group. This is also his first time visiting the wetland park. Accompanied by their parents, the children who came to study with curious eyes walked into the Pan'an Lake Wetland Science Popularization Museum.

In the summer of 2024, the trend of study tours continues to surge and new ideas emerge constantly. Following popular themes such as historical and cultural attractions and cultural and museum venues, natural science popularization and exploration tours have become the "dark horses" of the study tour market.

In addition to natural attractions, Xuzhou Oulebao Ocean Polar World, as one of the first "primary and secondary school students' study and practice education bases" in Gulou District, is the best place for children to learn about ocean knowledge.
From tropical rainforests to polar kingdoms, to mysterious underwater worlds, every venue is filled with surprises. It is reported that since its opening in 2022, Xuzhou Oulebao Marine Resort has received over 400000 students and teachers on study tours. During the summer, the average daily number of visitors to Xuzhou Oulebao Resort is nearly 10000, with two-thirds of them coming from other places.

In Xuzhou, the "study tour" is not just about "tourism", but also constantly injects cultural connotations and spiritual cores into the cultural and tourism industry through "research". At the same time, as an important entry point and growth point for the integrated development of culture and tourism, it brings more opportunities and challenges to the development of the cultural and tourism industry.
