Have you heard of the "Ten Oddities of Shaanxi"? Among them, the 'noodles as wide as a belt,' 'bread as big as a pot lid,' and 'eating chili instead of vegetables' are all tied to the region’s unique culinary habits and are widely known local customs. This year, why not gather your family in Xi'an for an extraordinary Spring Festival? Together, savor signature dishes like Biangbiang noodles, roujiamo (Chinese hamburger), and dumplings shaped like ingots… and welcome the auspicious Year of the Rooster with a feast for the senses.

Xi'an was the capital of 13 dynasties in Chinese history, and the ANGSANA Lintong Yuquan Hot Spring Hotel is a sister brand of Banyan Tree. The entire building interprets the charm of Tang Dynasty palaces in a modern style, and the hotel houses six restaurants with distinct styles. Whether you want to experience authentic Shaanxi cuisine or international flavors, your taste buds are sure to be satisfied.

To celebrate the arrival of the 2017 Spring Festival, Xihong Travel Agency has specially partnered with the ANGSANA Lintong Yuquan Hot Spring Hotel to prepare a Golden Rooster Reunion Dinner and a New Year’s Eve Gala Dinner on the first day of the Lunar New Year. Guests are invited to dine at the hotel, where they can participate in noodle-pulling and dumpling-making experiences in a palace-like restaurant. The long noodles symbolize “longevity,” and the dumplings shaped like ingots promise good fortune in the coming year. The dinner also features lucky draws, folk games, and the giving of red envelopes… among other festive activities to heighten the holiday spirit. After the feast, you can also stroll around to admire the jubilant Lunar New Year decorations or head outside to set off firecrackers to scare off the Nian monster, blessing your whole family with peace and happiness.

The ANGSANA Lintong Yuquan Hot Spring Hotel boasts an excellent location—just a 15-minute drive to the Terracotta Army at the Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor, one of the world’s eight great wonders. A five-minute drive from the hotel will take you to the Huaqing Pool, the legendary love site of Emperor Xuanzong of Tang and Yang Guifei. In addition, extending your journey from Xi'an, you can also visit the world-renowned Shaolin Temple, famed for its martial arts, and the Longmen Grottoes, ranked among China’s top three grottoes—all UNESCO World Heritage Sites—to put a perfect exclamation mark on your trip.
