This review is for Seetang Youth Hostel - we stayed here in March 2016. We initially stayed in a 6 bed dorm room which was clean and well presented. We had a locker which unfortunately wasn't very secure as it could be opened with any other other locker keys. The shared bathroom was OK, clean enough but the showers were very public. We moved to a basic double room with an en-suite. This room was beautiful, the best room we had in the whole of China. Be aware that the wifi here sucks and there are no kitchen facilities. There is also a lovely roof terrace with decent coffee and food. Nice indoor lounge area too. This is more of a hotel than a hostel hence there isn't much of an atmosphere.

Pedestrian friendly neighborhood. Lots of calligraphic tools

I don't know why people don't like this place but I think it is the best place to visit in Xi'an.

a place of chinese calligraphy interest, with streets of shop offering various kind of calligraphy services and materials. a great place to visit for this ancient works of art. one can easily pickup a personal chinese seal or chinese a writing brush, some places of interest are, besides some food outlets, they have yu youren memorial hall, beilin stone steles museum and xi'an university campus are nearby.

Nice pedestrian street,many shops selling chinese brush and paper. I also found the guy who make chinese seals that carving my name in Chinese word.

Lots of cute shops and there is a lot of culturally interesting things to see.

A wonderful street to spend many hours walking around, loads to see, smell and eat

Absolutely beautiful place, quaint and quiet. It sucks that they are being forced out and that it's going to be commercialized

Good place to spend the evening walking, shopping and eating.
