You can write the address in this way in English, normally there is no problem to be sent to the right person in most of big cities in China nowadays.
(pls do remember to check the postcode in the envelop, should be correct, it's quite important!)

But actually the correct way to write address in Chinese language is in reverse order,
"China
Postcode city
Street - room number
Person's name"

Hope my information would do some help for u and good luck!

BTW, the name of province which Xi'an locates should be "Shan Xi" instead of "Xi Shan". the name of city or place in China does not have to reverse its order even used in English.
So, it's quite complicated for foreigners learning Chinese, right:)
