Hi everyone,

My group of 4 adults is arriving in Xi'an in late May on a sleeper train that drops us off at Yinzhen Railway Station super early in the morning (around 5-6 AM).

Since Yinzhen is quite far from the city center, we’re planning to book a Didi straight into the city that takes about 1 hour, but our actual hotel check-in isn't until the afternoon like 2pm ish. We are looking for a place to shower and maybe grab a 2-3 hour nap before we start our food crawl.

A few questions:

1. Does anyone have recommendations for reliable hotels near the bell tower/muslim quarter that offer 4-hour blocks starting early (7 or 8am)?
2. Since it's about an hour out, is it easy to get a 6-seater Didi at that hour, or should we pre-book something?

We’re mostly here for the food, so any tips would be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance!
