One of the things I wanted to do on my trip to Xi'an was to experience a themed banquet. I saw many different options online and finally decided on the Empress Wu Banquet. At least it had a clear theme. The food was just average, but the performance was surprisingly good.

Become a guest of a Tang Dynasty imperial concubine, listen to Lu Yu discuss tea, witness the Poet Immortal, Sage, and Buddha engage in a poetry battle, and enjoy splendid court music and dance performances. The food is exquisite, unexpectedly delicious, and thoughtfully customized to accommodate dietary restrictions. 👍 Truly a joyous feast, a magnificent Tang Dynasty experience ❤️

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.

What to know before visiting Xi'an

What to do in Xi'an year-round

Xi'an centres on immersive Tours, visits to Historical sites and Attraction passes, with Events & shows and Cultural experiences rounding out popular choices. Klook booking data shows a strong annual rhythm: demand spikes in April, May and December and drops sharply in August and March. That pattern means travellers choosing festival atmosphere and busy sights will be happiest in the peak months, while those after calmer visits should target the quieter months. Decide whether you value peak-season atmosphere or quieter exploration — Klook booking data helps you match timing to experience.

When to visit Xi'an

December is the clearest peak for visitor numbers, while August records the lowest demand; Klook booking data shows December up by 61% versus a typical month and August down by 76%. Hotel and activity prices move differently across the year: nightly prices on Klook peaked in July at HKD 499 and hit a low in September at HKD 195, so the busiest month (December) is not the priciest. For lower prices and smaller crowds aim for September or March; for maximum atmosphere pick December or the April–May peak.

Month Demand Level Typical Price
January Quieter than usual HKD 452
February Busier than usual HKD 382
March Very quiet HKD 460
April Peak demand HKD 257
May Peak demand HKD 257
June Quieter than usual HKD 335
July About average HKD 499
August Very quiet HKD 320
September Quieter than usual HKD 195
October Quieter than usual HKD 452
November Busier than usual HKD 343
December Peak demand HKD 390

Demand is bookings in that month compared with a typical month, from historical Klook booking data, grouped into the demand levels above; typical price is the median paid on Klook in that month; prices are shown with their currency code. Based on Klook booking data, July 2025 – June 2026.

Where to stay in Xi'an

Klook hotel data shows Lianhu as the most affordable district with a typical nightly rate around HKD 327, and Lintong as the priciest at about HKD 2,487, a gap of roughly 87% between them. The more affordable end suits travellers prioritising budget and flexibility — good for those who prefer to spend on tours and food instead of lodging. The pricier end tends to suit travellers seeking higher-end hotel comforts or premium services. All figures are from Klook booking data and reflect typical nightly rates.

Tips for travellers from Hong Kong

Most travellers from Hong Kong lock things in about 12 days ahead, with the earliest planners booking roughly 28 days out, according to Klook booking data (platform aggregate). That pattern means you have moderate time to be flexible, but during the April–May and December peaks it pays to reserve earlier. Book experiences on Klook once your dates are firm to secure preferred time slots and popular tours; if you travel in quieter months you can be more spontaneous. Use Klook to compare options and confirm bookings with confidence.
