Cai Feng Lou (彩丰楼) is the Chinese restaurant of the HUALUXE Xi'an Tanghua hotel, a neo-Tang complex a short walk from the [Big Wild Goose Pagoda](/en/places/big-wild-goose-pagoda) and [Grand Tang Ever Bright City](/en/places/grand-tang-ever-bright-city). Cai Feng Lou is IHG's own Chinese dining brand, but the Xi'an outpost has stood out: IHG says it has held the Black Pearl Restaurant Guide's One-Diamond listing every year from 2022 to 2025, and it was one of six Xi'an restaurants on the 2025 list. The kitchen focuses on refined Cantonese cooking, with fresh seafood and dim sum, folded together with Xi'an ingredients and local signature dishes. Expect hotel fine-dining prices — around ¥330 per person — and book ahead for a private room. It is a good choice for a celebratory dinner after an evening at the pagoda.

Who it's for (and who should skip it)
Cai Feng Lou is for celebratory dining: a special evening after the pagoda lights up, Cantonese cravings after days of noodles and lamb, and Black Pearl collectors working through Xi'an's list. The garden setting inside a Tang-style hotel is part of what you pay for. If you have only one dinner in Xi'an and want local flavour, spend it on Shaanxi cooking instead — Chang'an Hui does the modern version, and the street classics cost a fraction of this. Budget around ¥330 a head and dress smart-casual; or come at lunch, when dim sum is the draw.
