The Mausoleum of the Chu Prince is one of Xuzhou's strongest archaeological sights, tied to the Han-era kingdom that made the city a major regional centre. The tomb chambers, funerary objects, and surrounding landscape help explain why Xuzhou has such a dense cluster of Han Dynasty museums and burial sites.
Come here before or after the Xuzhou Museum and the terracotta warriors museum, because the three sights reinforce each other. The mausoleum gives the grand setting and royal scale; the museums fill in the objects, rituals, and political story. Together they make Xuzhou one of China's better places for travellers interested in early imperial history.
