Xuzhou Shopping

Xuzhou has many local specialties including food, wine, fruit, and handicrafts. Peixian dog meat, great burdock products, children's crunchy candies, and sweet-scented osmanthus hawthorn cakes are well known local foods, while winter peaches and Fushi apples are widely planted local fruits. Peigong Family Wine, first produced over two thousands years ago, is always famous for its sweetness, purity, and long aftertaste. There are handicrafts of various kinds including paper-cuttings, peasant's paintings, children's paintings, wooden toys, cloth toys, embroideries, and straw-plaited articles. They all make good choices for you to buy as souvenirs. Stamp albums and postcards with paintings of Han Dynasty (260BC-220) stone sculptures are also worth buying.

The commercial center of the city is East Huihai Road and South Zhongshan Road where you can find nearly everything you want to buy. Another center is around Pengcheng Square, where you can visit many shopping malls, exclusive brand clothes stores, supermarkets, and book stores.
