Shaanxi Provincial Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine

Campuses and location

The Shaanxi Provincial Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine, also known as the Shaanxi Provincial Academy of Traditional Chinese Medicine, has its main campus at 4 Xihuamen, Lianhu District, Xi'an. The site covers 23 mu and has a building area of 82,000 square meters. The hospital also runs the Mingyuan Outpatient Department. The Xihuamen campus is near the Beidajie–Bell Tower area. It is in the old city along with the Hospital of Stomatology, Xi'an Jiaotong University at 98 Xiwu Road and Xi'an Central Hospital at 161 Xiwu Road, but their street numbers and entrances are different. When taking a taxi, give “4 Xihuamen” rather than the hospital's abbreviated name alone. The hospital profile currently describes the Xihuamen campus; the Fengdong campus will become its second campus only after it is completed. For now, do not treat “Fengdong” as a destination that is already open.

Appointments and getting help on arrival

Appointments can be made through the “Appointment Registration” button on the official website homepage, which links to the hospital's page on sxhealth.sn.cn. The website also lists an inquiry number, 029-87213310, with inquiry hours of 8:00–12:00 and 14:00–17:30 year-round. The outpatient guide (page dated 2026-04-10) says new and follow-up patients register at the registration office in the first-floor outpatient hall, and the registration slip is valid only for that day. You can also ask at the information desk in the outpatient hall. Registration and cashier counters are on the south side of the first-floor outpatient hall. Inpatient admission is handled at the admission window in the first-floor outpatient hall 24 hours a day; at night, go to the cashier.

The official website pages reviewed for this article did not state that English-language assistance, foreign-currency payment, or direct billing to international insurers is available. If you need language help, do not assume that English-speaking staff are available at the counters. The statement that the emergency department is staffed 24 hours a day comes from the department profile dated 2021-09-17. The page is relatively old, but it is on the hospital's official website; for a night visit, follow the on-site triage assessment. Call 120 for a life-threatening condition.
