Xian Hotels

After travelling to Beijing and Shanghai (still want to head back there at some time in the future!) I've been wondering which part of China I should visit next. Hong Kong is a given but while searching the web about China I came across, Xian (or "Xi'an") which I admit to having never heard of before.

I'm really surprised I haven't as it seems like an amazing place with hundreds of great sites to see and features to enjoy.

The cheap Asia hotels site that I found last month has a huge listing of Xian hotels available for booking complete with useful customer reviews, ratings and important information such as hotel features, locations and whether or not booking with certain hotels will give you instant confirmation after you do so so you don't end up arriving in town without a place to stay due to miscommunication.

Personally I'm kind of a hotel freak. I just love staying in hotel rooms and enjoying the hotel atmosphere. What's great about China though is due to the currency being so low, it's possible to stay in a 5 star hotel for under US$50 a night!
Check out this hotel for example. How nice is that!

I know some people like to travel cheap but if you can travel a country and spend the same amount on a 5 star room that you would on a 3 star back home, why not splurge a little?

Can't wait to head to China again.
