Did This Hotel Accidentally Build a Backrooms Level?
Guests at a hotel in Xianyang discover that reaching their rooms may require five minutes of running, several repeated deer sculptures, and basic survival training.
Did This Hotel Accidentally Build a Backrooms Level?
A hotel in Xianyang, Shaanxi, has come under scrutiny after Chinese internet users reclassified it as a newly discovered level of the Backrooms.
Footage posted online shows a guest running through a seemingly endless network of nearly identical corridors and staircases.
So far Hotel management has not disputed this classification.
Repeated Silver Deer Confirm Spatial Anomaly
The first major warning sign was the recurring appearance of a silver metallic deer sculpture, and repetitions of wall decorations.
Hotel representatives have not explained whether the property owns several identical deer or one deer capable of teleportation.
Paranormal investigators favor the second explanation, but the deer has denied following the guest.
Hotel Ideal for Real-Life Battle Royale, According to Guests Who Have Lost Perspective
Some viewers reacted to the disturbing maze by immediately proposing bringing friends for a live pursuit game.
Hospitality experts praised the idea as a promising new revenue stream:
Corporate Retreat Package: Build Trust by Hunting Your Coworkers Through an Infinite Corridor.
Catching a Cheating Partner Now Requires Marathon Conditioning
The corridor’s extraordinary length also created practical concerns unrelated to ghosts.
“If you came here to catch someone cheating, you’d spend so long finding the room that they’d already be finished.”
Unfaithful guests are reportedly booking rooms confident that any pursuing spouse will become distracted by the teleporting metal deer.
Property Rebrands as Immersive Horror Destination
Following the viral attention, travel interest in the hotel reportedly increased.
The hotel is now considering a full rebrand:
The Xianyang Infinite Corridor Resort & Conference Center
featuring Repeating deer encounters & Optional chase experience
Selected Comments and Cultural Notes
“而且还一直重复出现那个银色的金属鹿雕像”
Translation: “That silver metal deer sculpture keeps appearing repeatedly.”
Its repetition creates the feeling that the guest is walking in circles even when she may be moving forward.
“墙上的装饰画也反复出现，真的好鬼打墙”
Translation: “The wall art repeats too. It really feels like being trapped in a ghost loop.”
“鬼打墙” is a Chinese expression describing the supernatural experience of repeatedly returning to the same place despite trying to leave.
“一个楼面出电梯从头到尾掐表五分钟”
Translation: “From the elevator to the other end of the floor took five minutes by stopwatch.”
A real guest’s account that explains why the corridor appears almost impossibly long.
“在后室里面办后事”
Translation: “Holding funeral affairs inside the Backrooms.”
This is Chinese wordplay: “后室” means the Backrooms, while “后事” refers to funeral arrangements.
“抓奸前先跑个全马”
Translation: “Before catching a cheating partner, run a full marathon.”
The joke suggests that the corridor is so long that any confrontation would require elite endurance.
“中途遇到一个路人像遇到了实体”
Translation: “Meeting an ordinary passerby halfway through felt like encountering an entity.”
In Backrooms lore, “entities” are the hostile creatures inhabiting various levels.
“发现异常，请马上往回走”
Translation: “If you detect an anomaly, turn around immediately.”
A reference to The Exit 8, a game built around identifying subtle changes in a repeating corridor.
“哥，你还记得来时的路没”
Translation: “Bro, do you still remember the way you came?”
A reasonable question that becomes increasingly disturbing after several minutes of identical hallways.
