The Yihe River, Shuhe River, Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal and the ancient Yellow River pass through the territory, while the Roman Lake and Weishan Lake are distributed on the north-south edge.

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. At that time, "Xuzhou" was just the name of a natural economic region, and Pengcheng became the central city of this region.

During the Qin and Han Dynasties, Xuzhou was the territory of the State of Chu. When Chu and Han fought, this was the capital of the Western Chu State. After the establishment of the Western Han Dynasty by Emperor Gaozu Liu Bang, it was the fief of his relatives. At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Cao Cao moved to Xuzhou to administer Pengcheng, formerly known as Xuzhou. 1945 was formally established and belongs to Jiangsu. Xuzhou now governs four counties: Fengpei, Tongshan and Suining, two county-level cities: Pizhou and Xinyi, and five districts: Yunlong, Gulou, Quanshan, Jiuli and Jiawang. The whole city covers an area of 1 1258 square kilometers, with a total population of 9,079,800, including an urban area of 963 square kilometers and a total population of10.5 million.

Xuzhou, known as Pengcheng in ancient times, has a glorious history of more than 4,000 years and is one of the famous historical and cultural cities in China. 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.

The history of civilization of more than 4,000 years has left Xuzhou with a large number of cultural heritages and places of interest, just like the bright Milky Way hanging obliquely in the historical sky. Among them, the "three wonders of the Han Dynasty"-the Terracotta Warriors and Horses, the Han Tomb and the Han Stone Relief are the most striking, which embodies the extraordinary creativity and profound wisdom of the ancients and is of great artistic appreciation and archaeological value. The scenic spots centered on Yunlong Landscape and Quanshan Forest Park have pleasant scenery, which is as beautiful as the Western Heaven, more beautiful than Jiangnan and has the beauty of North America and South America. Places of interest are hidden among them, which complement each other and make people linger.

Xuzhou has always been the place where Zhong Ling Yu Xiu, Hidden Dragon and Crouching Tiger. Peng Zu, the originator of China Yijing and health preservation, Liu Bang, the great genius Xiang Yu, and Su Dongpo, the great writer, all left their marks in Xuzhou. Today's Xuzhou people are writing a new chapter in history with their diligence and wisdom. Tall buildings stand tall and lush, interwoven into a vibrant and energetic urban landscape. Beautiful Xuzhou is warmly welcoming friends from all corners of the country with open arms.
