Ding-Ying is an artist and generous host!! She is the friendliest person ever! So warm and caring! She will treat you like you’re her family and an honoured guest. She told us that she believes that all her Guest must’ve been her close friends or relatives in previous lives. Her place is beautifully decorated and renovated. So many Natural objects reflecting her love of nature and her creativity. On the practical side this place is really close to a convenience subway stop it is only five or seven minutes drive to the famous Huaxing Palace, and probably 15-20 minutes to the terracotta Warriors. So it makes an excellent base outside of the main city of Xi’an, to spend a few nights. You will experience beautiful Chinese hospitality. Ding Ling was very generous with her time. She even taught to me how to make dumplings!! it was very fun! I am from New Zealand and have stayed at many bed-and-breakfast and AirBnb’s, and this lovely Homestay rates very highly. Please note the five floors the top floor room has a beautiful rooftop courtyard. It is the best room however it would suit well off backpackers/flashpackers! Ding-Ying is more than happy to help carry the suitcase up several flights of stairs. We stayed in a double room on level two. It was me and my friend. We both highly recommend this place to many travellers!!
