Xuzhou has quite perfect transportation facilities both in air
and land. Its Guanyin Airport is situated southeast of the city
which neighbors on Shandong, Anhui and Henan provinces. This particular
location makes it a transport center of 'Huai-Hai Economic Zone'(an
economic developing area including Jiangsu and its neighboring
provinces). Several big airline agencies such as China Eastern
Airlines, China Southern Airlines, Hainan Airlines and Shanghai
Airlines are operating many flights to large cities both at home
and abroad. The airport has regular shuttle buses to the urban
city, which greatly ease the guests on their arrival.
Two of China's main railways Beijing-Shanghai Railway
and Longhai Railway that connect most cities of eastern,
western and central China meet in Xuzhou, bringing particularly
easy access to the city. There are many ticket booking agencies
in the city that provide perfect service for their guests. In
Xuzhou, five national highways and 20 provincial highways are
connected, extending to 16 provinces and 80 cities in China. Several
long-distance bus stations operate buses both to the neighboring
counties and cities of other provinces. In addition, the Beijing-Hangzhou
Grand Canal traverses Xuzhou and plays an essential role
in goods transport between southern and northern China.
Traveling around Xuzhou will also be an enjoyment. The city buses,
either ordinary or air-conditioned, are quite cheap but comfortable.
Special tourist buses joining most tourist destinations in and
around the city make it easy for tourists to find their way around.
Alternatively, taxis running along all the streets are at your
service as soon as you beckon to them.
