If you visit Xi’an, you will want to stay within the city wall in the old city. Almost in the middle is where we stayed, just a few minutes walk to the Muslim quarter and great food streets.
Clarence Guo is a wonderful person who owns the apartment. He not only outfitted it with terracotta warriors statues which makes for a wonderful stay, but also will give a tour for you as well. A small group tour from a person who has done this for the last 30 years and lived here all his life was incredible. We saw other things we may not have seen otherwise.
Here is a map of the location of the apartment.
This fire station was an important landmark to know where you were facing. The apartment is behind it.
The morning we left I ran 12 km towards the east wall and then down along the south and part of the west Wall before heading back.
We could not have picked a better location than this. It was fairly inexpensive and Clarence not only have us a tour to the warriors but also took us to and from the airport. He can do other tours as well.
