Pengzu Park
彭祖园
A city park named after Pengzu, the legendary ancestor of longevity. Its spring cherry blossom avenue is Xuzhou's most popular place to see cherry blossoms.
Pengzu Park lies in Yunlong District, north of the Huaihai Campaign Martyrs Memorial Tower, and is built on hills. The park contains the Pengzu Shrine, a statue of Pengzu and landscapes celebrating good fortune and longevity. Legend says Pengzu lived to 800 years, and he is revered as the ancestor of Xuzhou (ancient Pengcheng). The park is best known for its spring cherry blossoms. When they bloom, the cherry avenue and cherry garden draw large crowds. The park also has a zoo area. Entry is free. It can be reached on foot from Huai Tower and Yunlong Mountain, and it pairs well with the Huaihai Campaign Memorial Hall on the same day.
