Location & Accessibility

Xi'An Siyuan College sits in Baqiao District, a quiet yet vibrant area east of Xi’an’s city center. Located at 28 Shui’an Road, it’s nestled near the scenic Ba River and the rolling hills of Bailu Original (White Deer Ridge). To get here, take Xi’an Metro Line 1 to Baqiao Station, then a short taxi ride (~10 minutes) or bus 240⁄241. If driving, exit Baqiao Interchange on the G30 Expressway and follow signs—the campus is easy to spot with its lush greenery.

Natural Scenery: A Green Oasis

Xi'An Siyuan College feels like a mini-retreat! The campus is wrapped in trees, flowers, and lakes, especially near the Central Lake, where students often relax. Walk along Lianhu Trail (lotus-lined paths) to spot ducks or catch sunset views over the water. In spring, cherry blossoms burst near the library, while autumn paints the maple trees red. Even locals visit to escape the city hustle—it’s like a hidden park!

Cultural Highlights: Tradition Meets Modern

The campus blends Chinese architecture with modern design. Don’t miss the Ming-style gate at the entrance or the pagoda-inspired library, which looks straight out of a movie. Inside, check out student art exhibits in the Creativity Hall or join a calligraphy workshop (seasonal events!). For history lovers, the “Silk Road Culture Wall” explains ancient trade routes in simple English—perfect for quick learns.

Practical Facilities for Visitors

Xi'An Siyuan College isn’t just for students—it’s visitor-friendly! Stop by the campus cafe (try the matcha cake) or grab lunch at the student canteen (cheap noodles!). There’s free Wi-Fi in public areas, and clean restrooms near the main buildings. Want souvenirs? The campus bookstore sells cute Xi’an-themed postcards and tea. Just remember: some areas require a quick guest pass, so ask at the info desk.

What to Expect: A Day Here

Spending time at Xi'An Siyuan College feels calm and inspiring. Start with a stroll around the lake, then explore the traditional courtyards near the Humanities Building. If you’re lucky, you might catch a student performance (check their event board!). For photos, the red-walled sections near the stadium make great backdrops. End your visit with tea on the lakeside terrace—it’s a perfect mix of nature and culture without the tourist crowds.

Tip: Weekdays are liveliest (classes add energy), but weekends offer serene walks.
