Xi'an medical trip planner
Everything inside one walled rectangle, plus the Terracotta Army a short drive out
You fly in, you see a doctor, and you go home with a plan. This page is the order to do it in: choose how many days you have, book your own flight and hotel, then add the ground services you want — nothing else needs a travel agent.
Pick your number of days and open that plan.
Book your own flight — see the airports for Xi'an.
Book a hotel in the district closest to your hospital.
Add airport transfer, interpreter, companion or a package.
Step 1 — choose how long you stay
Every plan below is written around one assumption: day two is your first hospital day, and there is at least one follow-up before you fly home. A consultant visit plus standard blood and imaging usually needs three clear days; a second opinion, or any imaging that is read by a specialist panel, usually needs five.
Xi'an in 3 days
One consultation, tests, one follow-up. The tightest workable version.
Xi'an in 4 days
Room for a second specialist opinion or a rest day between scans.
Xi'an in 5 days
The most common choice: full work-up, follow-up and two recovery-day outings.
Xi'an in 6 days
Two consultations plus a longer outing, without rushing any single day.
Xi'an in 7 days
A full week: comprehensive assessment, a treatment start, and real recovery time.
Step 2 — your flight to Xi'an
You book your own ticket. Xi'an is served by Xi'an Xianyang International (XIY). We meet you at arrivals for the transfer you book here.
Step 3 — where to stay
We recommend choosing by district first, then by hotel — being close to your hospital saves more energy than any upgrade.
Inside the city wall near the Bell Tower — walkable to most central sights
South Yanta — quieter base near Tangdu and Xijing corridors
North of the wall near the railway — practical if you arrive by high-speed train
Step 4 — add the ground services you want
Pick one item or build the whole package. Every service is priced and booked separately, so nothing is hidden inside a bundle you did not choose.

Recovery-day ideas in Xi'an
Sorted roughly from gentlest to most active — pick by how you feel that morning, not by what looks best on paper.
Terracotta Army
The three pits of the Qin burial army, all indoors in hangars, about 40 minutes from the city.
Bronze chariots and museum halls
Climate-controlled halls with the closest displays of the figures — sitting and shaded throughout.
The Ming city wall
You can walk or cycle the top of a complete 14th-century city wall — flat the whole way round, with ramps at each gate.
Wall-top cycling at sunset
Bikes can be hired on the ramparts; an hour at golden hour is the most popular local ritual.
Bell Tower and Drum Tower
The lit heart of the old city, best seen from the wide underpasses and the platforms around each tower.
Muslim Quarter lanes
Lantern-lit food streets behind the Drum Tower where every stall can cook mild versions for you.
Lantern evenings on the wall walks
Red lanterns along the ramparts — no climbing needed if you enter at the South Gate.
Food notes
Hand-pulled biang biang noodles, lamb soup with shredded bread (paomo), rou jia mo pork buns, cold skin noodles — all soft, warm and easy.
