Why this deal is attractive
The combination of a low return price, direct flights, checked baggage and comfortable departure times makes this a particularly strong China deal.
The longer stays also provide enough time to explore Xi’an before continuing to other destinations such as Chengdu, Beijing, Luoyang, Chongqing or Shanghai.
Where to stay in Xi’an
Well-reviewed four-star and five-star hotels in Xi’an can start from approximately €40 per room per night. For two adults sharing, this can work out at around €20 per person per night. More premium international hotels in central locations commonly cost around €70–€110 per night.
The most convenient areas include:
- Bell Tower and Drum Tower: best for first-time visitors, sightseeing and the Muslim Quarter
- South Gate and Yongningmen: ideal for the Ancient City Wall and historic atmosphere
- Big Wild Goose Pagoda and Qujiang: better for modern hotels, restaurants and evening walks
Three nights in Xi’an should be enough for the Terracotta Army, City Wall, Bell Tower, Muslim Quarter and major central attractions. Four nights are better when adding a trip to Huashan.
