Xi'an Hotels - Comments and Reviews

After a very hectic taxi ride through fireworks and explosions (it was the last day of Chinese New Year) and nearly missing our train out of Qufu we were very pleased to be met at the station by the lovely hostel staff in China's third most popular city to study Mandarin.
