Xuchang travel guide

Xuchang is a city that perfectly blends Three Kingdoms history and culture with modern commercial services. Beyond the must-visit Pangdonglai, it also offers a wealth of Three Kingdoms heritage sites and authentic local food. Here is a detailed travel guide to help you explore Xuchang with ease!

Must-Visit Attractions

Caowei Ancient City

Brilliantly lit at night, great for taking photos in Hanfu, browsing the snack street, and soaking up the Three Kingdoms atmosphere.

Chunqiu Tower

The site where Guan Yu is said to have read the *Spring and Autumn Annals* at night, with a towering seated statue and a strong sense of loyalty and righteousness.

Cao Prime Minister’s Mansion

A complex of antique-style buildings, with mysterious hidden troop tunnels and immersive live performances.

Xuchang Museum

Home to elegant Han pictorial bricks and a rich collection of Cao Wei artifacts, it is an important window into Three Kingdoms culture.

Shenhou Ancient Town

Known as Henan’s Jingdezhen, where you can watch Jun porcelain kiln transformations, try throwing clay, and browse the seven-li-long old street.

Authentic Local Food List

Yuzhou Thirteen Bowls

The centerpiece of a banquet, with each bowl offering a different flavor; sweet and savory dishes pair well, with rich and varied textures.

Laofangzi

Its signature mung bean porridge is thick and fragrant, the steamed cornbread with chicken gizzards is fresh, spicy, and flavorful, and the service rivals Pangdonglai.

Lao Ma Jia Hele Noodles

Tender lamb skewers, rich hele noodle broth, and very generous portions of big-plate chicken make it a late-night favorite among locals.

Dong Jiao Yan

Handmade dumplings with hearty fillings and crispy, fragrant lamb chops with no gamey taste make this a hidden-gem halal restaurant.

Ding Xiaoxu Hulatang

Huge chunks of beef, a thick mildly spicy broth, and shumai dipped in garlic sauce make this an affordable breakfast spot loved even by locals.

Classic Itinerary

Day 1 (Three Kingdoms Culture + Pangdonglai): In the morning, visit Chunqiu Tower and Cao Prime Minister’s Mansion to experience Three Kingdoms history; in the afternoon, go shopping at the Pangdonglai Times Square store and try in-house foods such as spicy hot pot; in the evening, take a night stroll through Caowei Ancient City to enjoy the lights and sample night-market snacks.
Day 2 (Leisurely Cultural Walk + Distinctive Ancient Town): In the morning, visit Xuchang Museum to learn about the city’s history; at noon, try authentic mutton soup or stewed noodles in the city center; in the afternoon, head to Shenhou Ancient Town to experience Jun porcelain culture, or take the water bus for a night tour along the moat.

Transportation and Accommodation Tips

Transportation: It is recommended to arrive by high-speed rail at Xuchang East Station, which is relatively close to the city center. Attractions in the city are fairly concentrated, so getting around by bus, shared electric scooter, or taxi (starting fare about 6 yuan) is convenient.
Accommodation: Staying near Caowei Ancient City or Pangdonglai is recommended, as most attractions and shopping malls are within walking distance, making travel more convenient.

Pitfalls to Avoid and Practical Tips

Queues at Pangdonglai: The Angel City store gets extremely crowded, so visiting during off-peak hours is recommended; tea requires an online reservation, or you can go around 1 p.m. when there are fewer people and no purchase limit.
Nature of the Ancient City: Caowei Ancient City is a newly built antique-style commercial street. It is suitable for eating, strolling, and taking photos at night, but if you have high expectations for historical remains, adjust them accordingly.
Breakfast Hours: Time-honored local breakfast spots such as meatball soup and hulatang usually only sell in the morning. They often sell out if you go late, so it is best to get up early to try them.
