[2025 Xi'an Stay] Travel Guide for YiXi Designer Hotel (Updated Jun)

In April this year, I traveled to Xi'an to see the must-visit Terracotta Warriors ✨, one of the Eight Wonders of the World. I stayed at a boutique design hotel located between the Bell Tower and the Great Tang All Day Mall. The price was very affordable, the space was spacious and comfortable, and the location was extremely convenient. Besides the must-try local delicacies like Roujiamo (Chinese burger) and Liangpi (cold noodles), my favorite part of this trip was Shaanxi cuisine, especially the Hulutou Chicken (highly recommended!). It's not your ordinary fried chicken. Even though I was traveling solo, I couldn't resist enjoying the deliciousness of a whole chicken! I would definitely return to Xi'an just for the Hulutou Chicken! Another highlight in Xi'an is the Tree of Life, a work by renowned British architect Thomas Heatherwick. It's a stunning and unique shopping mall, unlike the ones we usually see. The environment is fantastic.

The design of various geometric shapes is combined with different light-colored walls. The high-quality duck is full of natural light. The natural light on the sunny day can pass through the transparent glass of various shapes on the roof. The design is refracted indoors, changing shape over time, super beautiful. Who can think of an old family house that has such a design house, and it is not abrupt to see from the outside and the surrounding environment. In fact, it is another world. The B&B was originally a Soviet-style old factory. After being abandoned, after a few entrepreneurial designers have ingeniously transformed to create such a great homestay, innovation and respect for the old buildings, some old architectural elements such as the steel structure of the roof, wooden beams are preserved, simply It is a dialogue between new and old time and space.

There are often people who like to take pictures to get a card, but if you dont stay with a professional large-scale SLR device, you have to charge the venue for shooting, so you dont bother other guests and guests. If you come to eat an afternoon tea mobile phone pat is no problem.
