[Journey to the West Hometown Day Tour] How should you spend a day tour in Huai'an? This travel guide has everything you need

Looking for a unique cultural trip? I recommend visiting Huai'an! Take a Huai'an day tour to dive deep into the city's distinctive attractions. Start at Wu Cheng'en's Former Residence for an immersive look at the origins of Journey to the West. Visit Sheyang Yi Studio, the Xuanzang Memorial Hall, the Monkey King Art Museum and more. The garden's Wuyuan area even houses a replica of the magical golden cudgel you can touch—a place filled with Journey to the West vibes everywhere you look. Next, head to Shen Kun Zhuangyuan Mansion to learn about Huai'an's first top imperial scholar and his battles against Japanese pirates. Climb Zhuangyuan Tower to pray for academic success and watch the immersive stage play Reflection of a Swan: Man Jiang Hong. Wrap up your trip at Huai'an Prefecture Government Office, featuring recreated ancient courtroom scenes, a full set of Ming and Qing dynasty torture instruments, reenactments of historical punishments, and a live short play based on The Injustice to Dou E—an immersive dive into ancient government office culture.
