Best hot springs in Xi\u2019an? Looking for a\u00a0Xi\u2019an tour<\/a>\u00a0that encompasses the Xi\u2019an hot springs?<\/p>\n

Maybe you\u2019ve booked a small group Xi\u2019an tour, or your planning to travel solo to\u00a0Xi\u2019an<\/a>. Whatever the case, mixing things up to make beautiful memories is what travel\u2019s all about, right?<\/p>\n

So most people wouldn\u2019t put the best hot springs and Xi\u2019an in the same sentence. That\u2019s because whenever we think of Xi\u2019an, there\u2019s usually one thing that comes to mind. The Terracotta Army.<\/p>\n

Awe-inspiring by any measure, it\u2019s understandable we tick that bucket list item on our tour itinerary.<\/p>\n

Hot springs near Xi\u2019an<\/h2>\n

Well, the good news is, there are other options.<\/p>\n

The Chinese draw on a long, rich history of therapies that contribute to long life and good health. While many of these have been adopted by westerners keen to absorb some Eastern wisdom, certain treatments aren\u2019t practical to move beyond the Chinese border. And Xi\u2019an hot springs are one of them.<\/p>\n

But that needed stop you enjoying the benefits while you\u2019re on tour in Xi\u2019an. Few people know the very first hot spring in China was found in Shaanxi province where Xi\u2019an is located. In fact, the province\u2019s history was influenced heavily by the hot springs in the area.<\/p>\n

Emperors and their royal courtesans knew they were on a good thing. Over dynasties and centuries, they built resorts and summer houses, taking advantage of the health-giving and restorative nature of these pristine destinations.<\/p>\n
