Questions about your Xi'an trip? Found an error in our guides? Want to suggest a restaurant or hidden spot we have not covered? We read every message and respond personally.
Who you are emailing: A small team of Xi'an locals — Li Wei (history), Wang Fang (food), and Chen Yu (photography & practical guides). We have lived in this city for years and built this site because we were tired of AI-generated travel advice written by people who have never been here. When you email us, a real person reads it. No chatbots. No autoresponders. See our About page for more about us.
For all inquiries — trip questions, corrections, suggestions, or just to say hello:
[email protected]We typically respond within 24-48 hours. If you do not hear back within 3 days, check your spam folder — our replies occasionally get filtered.

About paid recommendations
We do not accept payment for hotel listings, restaurant reviews, or tour recommendations. Every recommendation on this site is based on our own firsthand experience and paid visits. If a restaurant is good, it is because we ate there and liked it — not because anyone paid us to say so. If you find evidence to the contrary, please email us immediately.
Speaking Engagements & Press
Our team members are available for interviews, podcast appearances, and speaking engagements about Xi'an travel, Chinese history, and the realities of independent travel content creation. Our guides are referenced by travelers planning independent trips, and we are happy to contribute to travel publications or academic research on a case-by-case basis.
