The hotel is conveniently located right at the subway station entrance. It's just a few minutes' walk to the Bell Tower and Drum Tower. The rooms are clean and bright, with separate wet and dry areas in the bathroom, and smart bidet toilets. They offer 6 washing machines and 2 dryers. The staff are friendly and helpful, and the breakfast is excellent and highly recommended.

There are many hanfu to choose from, especially the flowy kind. The girls at the shop were very kind and helped me wonderfully. After getting your makeup done, you have to go to a park near the big pagoda to take photos, and then to a shop to choose which ones you want retouched. I had a fantastic time! Although, it was about three hours in total!

it was on summer discount so it was definitely worth it. guide was very knowledgeable and patient. only downside was that the lunch provided was very average, definitely could've been better, and also they could've at least provided a bottle of water.

I want to start by thanking Ruby the most charming and characteristic woman I have met in the tour industry, your knowledge and connection to the community made this visit to your beautiful city a once in a lifetime experience for me. I am truly grateful you showed me and my wife around today. the tour was extremely enjoyable and very informative, it was well planned and had some extra surprises that truly made it even more memorable ( they aren’t listed in description but just trust ruby )

pick up was a bit chaotic as there was only a Chinese guide. but then we stopped at a second gathering spot in Xi’an where there was an English guide. he explained the trails etc. going up west and going down north is the easiest way, as it’s mostly down hill. any moderate fit person can do it. they provide small lunch and small breakfast. they did have us pay an extra 50yuan for a gps and insurance they said. as it’s just a guide for the transfer to the mountain and you do the hike by yourself nobody gave tips at the end.

We had an amazing experience visiting the Terracotta Warriors! Our guide, David, truly made the tour unforgettable. He was incredibly knowledgeable and explained everything in great detail, making the history come alive. He patiently answered all of our extra questions and went above and beyond to make sure we had a great time. On top of that, he even helped us take some fantastic photos to remember the day. Highly recommend this tour, thank you, David, for such a wonderful experience! They also sent a nice ride to pick us up and arrived early. Great service!
