The short-term tourism has the great market potential. However, lack of understanding of tourism resources and tourism products have become the major obstacles to short-term tourism. Urban residents of Xi’an have a preference on natural resources tourism, especially the natural landscape of mountain. At the top ten tourist areas in Shaanxi province, Xi’an urban residents are preferred Taibai Mountain tourist areas, Hua Mountain tourist areas and Eco-tourism areas in Ankang.Second, the main motivations of the short-term tourists are stress relaxation, entertainment as well as the understanding of the natural scenery and history and culture. The environmental factor is the primary factor towards the Xi’an urban residents’ decision-making of the short-term tourism. The environmental factor includes the transportation convenience, environment and reception facilities of the destination and tourism safety. Third, the traditional media is the main channel for Xi’an city residents to gain the tourism information. The "word-of-mouth effect" is also very important. They are more likely to choose travel with their friends and family, and often choose weekend-travel and other traditional short vacation.

It shows the larger potential of the development of short-term tourism market.Fourth, based on the analysis of the characters of Xi’an urban residents’ demand to short-term tourism, the author gives some advices to the market development of the short-term tourism.
