1. Steps from "The Song of Everlasting Regret" – Your Front-Row Seat to Tang-Era Romance
Nestled just steps from the entrance of the Huaqing Palace Scenic Area, Qinglan Residence is a mere 5-minute walk from the iconic live performance The Song of Everlasting Regret. Set against the natural backdrop of Mount Li and Huaqing Pool, this breathtaking open-air show brings the legendary love story of Emperor Xuanzong and Yang Guifei to life. After the final curtain, return effortlessly to your serene retreat—no rushing, just poetic reflection beneath starlit skies.
2. Tang Dynasty Elegance, Reimagined for Modern Comfort
Every room at Qinglan Residence is a tribute to the golden age of the Tang Dynasty. Think vermilion wood accents, hand-carved lattice screens, celadon ceramics, silk lanterns, and bespoke furniture inspired by imperial palaces and scholar’s studios. Rooms are named after classical Tang motifs like “Feather-Robed Pavilion” or “Pear Garden Suite.” While steeped in historical aesthetics, each space features premium bedding, climate control, and thoughtful modern amenities—where heritage meets comfort in perfect harmony.
3. Wake Up to Mount Li – Nature’s Masterpiece Through Your Window
Perched at the foot of Mount Li, most rooms offer floor-to-ceiling windows or private terraces framing panoramic views of lush forests and misty peaks. Watch the mountain shift with the seasons: spring greens, summer breezes, autumn golds, and winter stillness. Start your morning with a cup of traditionally prepared Tang-style tea as dawn light spills over the ridgeline—a tranquil scene worthy of a classical Chinese painting.
4. At the Heart of China’s Dual World Heritage Wonders
Qinglan Residence sits in the cultural epicenter of Lintong District. The Huaqing Palace (a UNESCO World Heritage site as part of the “Silk Roads”) is right outside your door, while the world-famous Terracotta Warriors are just one metro stop away. Easily combine visits to both landmarks in a single day—or extend your journey to the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, Daming Palace, or the vibrant Tang Paradise in downtown Xi’an. History isn’t just nearby—it’s your neighborhood.
5. A Sanctuary for Mind & Body – Where Ancient Ritual Meets Refined Relaxation
Beyond luxurious linens and smart bathrooms, Qinglan offers immersive wellness experiences rooted in Tang traditions. Enjoy custom herbal sachets, artisanal incense, and authentic Tang-style tea sets. Select suites feature private soaking tubs inspired by the emperor’s hot springs. Guests can join morning tai chi sessions or quiet calligraphy practice in the courtyard. Our staff, dressed in refined Tang-inspired attire, welcome you with timeless grace—making every stay deeply restorative.
6. More Than a Stay – A Living Journey into Tang Dynasty Culture
Your experience begins before check-in: guests receive a curated guide to The Song of Everlasting Regret and a Tang-themed walking map of Xi’an. During festivals, enjoy complimentary Hanfu (traditional robe) fittings, Tang makeup styling, or playful court games like pitch-pot archery. Whether you’re reenacting a romantic rendezvous or exploring history with your family, Qinglan Residence transforms your trip into a vivid, unforgettable chapter of China’s golden age.Stay at Qinglan Residence—dream in the age of Tang.
More than just accommodation, it’s a portal to Chang’an’s golden era.

"Given Xi'an's already reasonable prices, this B&B right across from Huaqing Pool offers incredible value for money!
The location is absolutely amazing. It's a 5-minute walk to the Huaqing Palace scenic area, and you're right there as soon as you exit A at Huaqingchi Metro Station. In the evenings, it's just an 8-minute walk to Xidajie (West Street) to explore the night market, which is packed with super lively food stalls. The room's mattress is a King Koil, and the pillows are the same memory foam ones used at Atour Hotels – once you lie down, you won't want to get up. The rooftop skylight design adds a fantastic ambiance.
The biggest surprise was the terrace. It faces directly onto the 'Song of Everlasting Sorrow' performance venue, so you don't need to buy tickets or brave the crowds; you can enjoy the entire show right from the terrace. The view is superb, though the sound is a little distant. The stay also includes afternoon tea and a ceremonial breakfast. The breakfast features local specialties, with a wide variety, and is served until 12 PM – perfect for late risers! Enjoying tea by the fire pit on the terrace is incredibly relaxing, and the snacks are delicious too.
The owner has three cats, making it pet-friendly. The location, service, and attention to detail are all impeccable. If you want to explore Huaqing Palace and see the show without dealing with crowds, this is the perfect choice!"
