Even though Xian is not the most glamorous highlight of China, history buffs are sure to be amazed at the hidden gems in this ancient land. If this is your cup of tea, here are a few tips to consider when planning your trip here.
The best time to visit
Xiang has four seasons; however, summer and winter bring about extreme temperatures. Thus, the best time to visit would be during spring or autumn when the weather is just nice. The period from March to May is quite popular with tourists.
Getting to Xian
IF you are travelling from the far west, you will probably need to take a transit flight from destinations like Singapore or Bangkok. It is necessary that you apply for a visa well ahead of time. Getting to Xian if you are already in China is no more than a 3-hour flight.
Accommodation
It is recommended that you book Xian China hotels in advance if your stay will coincide with Chinese holidays. The city centre is home to plenty of classy hotels like Grand Park Xian. However, the option of hostels is available as well.
Things to do
There are a plethora of activities to indulge in Xian. The Terracotta Warriors, in this case, is the most famous attraction that cannot be missed. Apart from exploring Chinese history at museums and temples, treat your senses to delightful Chinese cuisine too.
