The best area to stay in Xi'An is within the city walls, particularly around the Bell Tower, for convenient access to the city's main attractions.


This central area is the historic heart of Xi'An, enclosed by the ancient city walls. The Bell Tower marks the city's geographical centre, and from here, you're within easy walking distance or a short taxi ride to many key sights. The Muslim Quarter, famous for its street food and bustling markets, is just to the west of the Bell Tower.


Couples looking for a blend of history and modern convenience will find this area ideal. You'll be close to the Drum Tower, the Great Mosque, and numerous traditional shops and restaurants. Evenings offer a pleasant stroll along the illuminated city walls or through the lively night markets.


For travellers looking for a more relaxed experience but still wanting to be central, the area just south of the city walls, near the South Gate (Yongning Gate), is an excellent choice. It's slightly quieter than the immediate Bell Tower area but still offers good access to public transport and provides a stately view of the illuminated city walls at night.
