Xian at a Glance

An ancient city; more than three thousand years old, Xian is steeped in a rich and interesting history. One of the Four Great Ancient Capitals in China, it is home to many interesting sites and attractions that are all telling of its captivating background.

Which Hotel is Right for You?

You can choose from a range of hotels across Xian, whether you want to be in the heart of the city, or on the more relaxed outer city limits.

  • Sometimes a stay isn’t just right unless its in the centre of the action, and the Orient hotel is just that, sitting in the Culture District of the city.
  • On the quieter side of the city stands the Tianyu Gloria hotel; within easy reach of the main sights but in a more relaxed location.
  • If your holiday is going to be all about indulging, the Shangri-la Xian is a stunning hotel with elegant design and four designer restaurants.

  • Outside the city, the Army of Terracotta Warriors and Horses is one of the most famed sites not only in the city, but in the whole country. These 8,000 warriors stretch across 20,000 square meters, and hold around 30,000 weapons in their detailed possession. They’re a really magical sight.
