Xuzhou has quite perfect transportation facilities both in air and land. The particular location makes its airport a transport center of 'Huai-Hai Economic Zone'(an economic developing area including Jiangsu and its neighboring provinces). Here, five national highways and 20 provincial highways are connected, extending to 16 provinces and 80 cities in China. It plays an essential role in goods transport between southern and northern China.
