CHINA 5A TRAVEL
Most visitors day-trip from central Xi'an, but staying in Lintong turns the visit into an unhurried evening-and-show experience - and it is the only way to soak in the springs themselves.
Best Areas to Stay
Royal hot-spring hotel (inside the scenic area)
The Huaqing royal hot-spring hotel inside the grounds is the only place to bathe in the palace's thermal springs, with the gardens lit up after closing time.
Lintong around the gate
Mid-range hotels along Huaqing Road, minutes from the entrance - the practical pick for late shows, since the last sessions run past midnight in peak season.
Central Xi'an
The Bell Tower and Muslim Quarter area, about an hour away via Metro Line 9, offers the city's widest choice of hotels and food.
Near the Terracotta Army
A handful of resort-style hotels cluster near the warriors, about 10 minutes' drive east - convenient for a two-sight day.
