FuMa Xiang is an ancient alley located approximately 300 meters northwest of Zhenhuai Tower in the ancient city of Huai'an. Emperor Hui of Ming, Zhu Yunwen, built a Fuma Shrine in this alley for the Imperial Son-in-law Huang Chen. The Former Residence of Comrade Zhou Enlai, which is renowned both at home and abroad, is located in this alley. Hexia Ancient Town has a history of over 2,500 years and was the birthplace of historical figures such as the heroine Liang Hongyu and the great writer Wu Cheng'en.

Beautiful China 🇨🇳 Huai'an Journey to the West Amusement Park: A place that evokes the Journey to the West nostalgia of those born in the 80s. A Chinese-made amusement park, highly recommended for elementary school students, especially boys. The ticket price is especially worthwhile and the fun is immense 🥳. Even on a rainy day, we had a blast. The staff were very enthusiastic ❤️‍🔥 and diligently checked the equipment repeatedly. A very cost-effective amusement park 🎠.

You can spend two days visiting Zhou Enlai's former residence in Huai'an. There's also a nice traditional shop in Hexia Ancient Town. The overall commercial atmosphere isn't too strong, so it's worth a visit.

One of only two remaining government offices, and the site of the tragic death of Dou E, it features an exhibition of ancient torture instruments, mostly displayed using digital technology, wax figures, physical objects, and illustrations. It's a must-see for tourists in Huai'an.

The courtyard was quite unique, with some small scenic spots perfect for taking photos. We were really lucky; the weather was a beautiful, clear blue. We also learned about Wu Cheng'en's family history and life story, feeling a bit a little bit of his divine aura.

As the only canal transport museum in China, it's generally quite good. However, the 60 yuan guided tour is a bit too general and could be more detailed. The additional 5 yuan per person for headsets is also unreasonable.

The hometown is a bit small, and it mainly displays the Prime Minister's childhood. You can come and have a look, and after that you must go to the nearby memorial hall for more information.

The Liyun Canal Scenic Area is free, but you need a ticket for the cruise. It is recommended to take a cruise to see the night view. We bought the cruise ticket in advance, and we need to exchange it for a paper ticket first, and then queue up to get on the bus. There were too many people during the May Day holiday, and we queued for more than two hours before we got on. During this time, we had dinner at the Qifeng Pavilion, and there was a performance at the National Master Tower, so the waiting time was not so unbearable.
