[2025 Xi'an Hotels] Travel Guide for Tang Dynasty Art Garden Hotel (Updated Jul)

Hey everyone, I'm Brother Xin! Today I'm recommending a unique hotel in Xi'an—Xi'an Tang Dynasty Bo Xiang Fu Hotel (Dayan Pagoda Tang Dynasty Ever-Bright City Branch). Last weekend, my family and I visited the Dayan Pagoda area, strolled through the Tang Dynasty Ever-Bright City, and the night lantern festival was absolutely breathtaking! After walking until we were tired, we checked into this nearby hotel and experienced the life of Tang Dynasty nobility. The feeling was simply amazing! Courtyard Scroll Painting, Every Step a New View 🏯 Entering the hotel gates feels like stepping back into the Tang Dynasty. The three-courtyard design creates a layered space full of surprises at every turn. Ancient trees, rockeries, and small bridges over flowing water make you feel as if you're in a royal garden. Sitting in the courtyard at night, sipping tea and chatting while watching the moon rise slowly through the treetops is pure bliss. Elegant Tang Style, Sleeping in History 🛏️ The rooms are exquisitely decorated, perfectly blending traditional Chinese elements with modern comfort. Tang-style paintings hang above the beds, the bedding is soft and warm, and there's a variety of pillows to ensure you find the perfect one. The toiletries are high-quality, even the toothbrush feels premium. Best of all, the soundproofing is excellent—even with the lively Tang Dynasty Ever-Bright City outside, the room remains peacefully quiet. A Feast for Foodies 🍽️ When it comes to food, the hotel's restaurant is a must-try. Breakfast offers a wide variety, from traditional Chinese dim sum to Western-style bread, catering to all tastes. Their handmade noodles are especially noteworthy—chewy and smooth, paired with authentic Shaanxi chili oil, a bowl will energize you instantly. In the evening, you can even savor an imperial-style banquet, enjoying royal treatment without leaving the hotel. Prime Location, Hassle-Free Travel 🚗 Located in the heart of Qujiang's scenic area, the hotel is just steps from the Dayan Pagoda North Square and close to attractions like the Tang Paradise. Whether you want to explore historical sites by day or admire the light shows at night, everything is conveniently nearby. Transportation is also a breeze, with easy access to train and bus stations, making it an ideal choice for travelers. This stay truly made me feel what it means to "sleep amidst the scenery." Next time I'm in Xi'an, I'm choosing this place again! If you're also interested in traditional culture and want a unique lodging experience, I highly recommend giving it a try!

| Century-old Begonias by the Big Wild Goose Pagoda. Inside the Boxiangfu Hotel, which is right next to the east side of the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, two century-old begonia flowers have bloomed! If you miss the blooming season, you have to wait another year, so everyone hurry up and go see it (ง °Θ°)ว In addition to begonias, the hotel also has purple magnolias, azaleas, and others that are blooming beautifully. Sitting in the courtyard and drinking tea in the afternoon is just too pleasant~
