The verdict
Liked · 78Visitors mostly love Xi'an for its food, history and friendly people, but the content is tourist-focused and says little about daily life for remote workers.
- food scene
- friendly locals
- history and heritage
- safety
- parks and city wall
- little on everyday hassles
- English less common beyond young people
- thin evidence on cost, internet, or work life
- Food is the dominant draw for visitors
- Visitors often describe locals as warm and welcoming
- Heritage sites and the city wall impress short-term visitors
- Most content is short tourist trips, not long-term residence
- Hard to judge remote-work fit from this material
