Hidden in the Heart of Xi'an: A Stay at the "Treasure Inn" – Xishang International Garden Hotel

Upon arriving in Xi'an, the ancient capital of thirteen dynasties, I was immediately struck by the blend of profound history and modern vibrancy. My stay at Xishang International Garden Hotel (Xi'an Xijing Hospital Tonghuamen Metro Station Branch) felt like a warm embrace from the city, seamlessly combining convenience and comfort. Stepping into the hotel, the first thing I noticed was its perfect "temperature." The lobby’s high ceilings and modern art decor exuded a stylish vibe, while the gentle breeze from the central air conditioning dispelled the summer heat. The front desk staff efficiently handled check-in and even handed me a hand-drawn map of the area, marking nearby eateries, metro stations, and attractions—a thoughtful touch that made me feel right at home. Opening the door to my room, I was greeted by a serene atmosphere created by wooden floors and warm gray walls. The scenic view from my window was breathtaking, offering a panorama of bustling city streets and the faint outlines of ancient architecture in the distance. The room’s amenities were a delightful surprise: electric curtains with one-touch controls, a spotless smart toilet, a minibar stocked with complimentary mineral water and Xi'an’s signature sour plum drink, and even USB ports and wireless charging pads by the bedside—perfect for modern travelers. The hotel’s facilities took comfort to the next level. The well-equipped gym, with its brand-new machines, was ideal for a post-morning-run workout to kickstart the day. The rooftop garden, lush with greenery, became my go-to spot for unwinding in the evenings, sipping drinks with friends and sharing travel stories. But what truly stood out was the restaurant’s "late-night kitchen" service, offering a steaming bowl of Qishan noodles even at midnight—a comforting treat for both the stomach and the soul. The hotel’s prime location made exploring Xi'an effortless. Tonghuamen Metro Station was just a stone’s throw away, with Line 3 providing direct access to the dazzling Giant Wild Goose Pagoda at night and Line 1 leading straight to the Bell and Drum Towers, the heartbeat of the ancient city. Strolling through the nearby Yongxingfang Food Street, the aromas of local delicacies like roujiamo (Chinese burgers) and liangpi (cold noodles) were irresistible. In just a few days, Xishang International Garden Hotel won me over with its attention to detail. Like a cozy oasis in Xi'an, it offers the efficiency of urban living without sacrificing the warmth of home. Whether you’re here to explore the ancient city or for business, this hotel will add a bright touch to your journey.
