If seeing the sights is on your list of things to do, head to Ancient Town Hexia— just one of the landmarks located 9.5 mi (15.3 km) from central Huai'an.
If you like quiet time surrounded by flowers and greenery, hang out at Bochishan Park in Qingjiangpu District. Want to stretch your legs some more? Head to Sakura Park and Qing Yan Garden, both nearby.
Former Residence of Zhou Enlai is 8.9 mi (14.3 km) from central Huai'an, why not stop by during your stay. If you want to experience more of the culture Huai'an has to offer, head to Huai'an Government Office, Ancient Town Hexia, and Wucheng'en Memorial Hall.
Seeing the sights doesn't have to break the bank. For some things to do in Hongze, you can get outdoors with a stop at Hongze Lake Open-air Hot Spring.
