I thank you for all your prompt and quick replies to our needs and desires for the tour. You are very professional and provided what we had requested.

I enjoyed my tour of Xian - from start to finish. It was most comforting to have my tour guide meet me at the airport. Your tour guide - Ms Mary Ma is exceptional in both her English and her knowledge of her subject. She is to be congratulated.

I have no hesitation in recommending your company to other travellers. Thank you once again.

Kind regards

Train Travel to Xian
Travel to and from Xian by train is the most popular way of transport for visiting Xian. Xian has two railway stations - Xian Railway Station and Xian North Railway Station.

Xian Railway Station
Xian Railway Statiuon is located just outside the northeast corner of Xian City Wall. The main road "Jiefang Road"(解放路) ends at Xian Train Station at its north tip and connects the Dong Dajie(东大街) on its south. Train Enquiry: 029 - 95105688.

Xian North Railway Station
Xian North Railway Station is a new train station put into service Jan 11, 2011. This railway station is located 12km on the central axis of Xian city with its train service focused on high speed trains. Now it is the largest railway staion in the northen China.

At present, it is home to high-speed trains between Xian and Beijing, Xian and Huashan (Mt.Huashan), Xian and Luoyang, Xian and Zhengzhou. With the completion of the national high speed network, more and more citied will be linked to Xian in the high speed tranport circle ranging from half hour to 5 hours.

Xian Huanshan half hour, Xian Luoyang 2 hours with many daily high speed trains, Xian Zhengzhou 3 hours, and Beijing 5 and half hours with many daily high speed trains...

The Bus 266 connects Xian Railway Station with 20 stops taking about 50 minutes. It costs about RMB 50 to take a taxi from Xian Railway Station to Xian North Railway Station.

Numerous flights linking Xian Xianyang Airport to the major cities in China including Beijing, Shanghai, Chengdu, Chongqing, Lhasa, Guangzhou, Kunming and several international flights to Hong Kong, Macao, Seoul, Bangkok, KualaLumpur, and Nagoya, Niigata, and Hiroshima in Japan.

Whether you are going to arrive or leave Xian Xianyang Airport, it is advisable to know which terminal you are going to use since Xian Xianyang Internatinal Airport has two terminals - T1 and T2. The two terminals are very close to each other. The Terminal 1 is the old one built in 1080s while the terminal 2 was completed in 2007, much larger than T1. Most of the domestic flights arrive at Terminal 2. All the international flights leave or arrive at terminal 2

Xian is a highway tranportation hub linking 9 national highways extending in all directions to 18 provinces covering over 300 cities and counties. There are three long-distance bus terminals.

The biggest one is just located across Xian Railway Station. It is called Xian Qiche Zhan ( Xian Bus Station ) offering the long-distance bus service to Huashan Mountain (2 hours), Luoyang (435km), Zhengzhou (570km), Taiyuan (690km), Tianshui (380km), Yinchuan (720km), Ya'an(405km) and many more places.

When planning a trip to Xian, one of the frequently asked questions likely to tantalize you is "When is the best time to visit Xian?". Unlike other cities in China, Xian attractions are mostly historical relics which have little influence by seasons. As a matter of fact, Xian is a place which you can visit on all seasons.

Xian is laid out on a neat grid pattern centrally denoted by the massive Bell Tower (钟楼), which radiates out four major streets: Nan Dajie (South Avenue - 南大街), Bei Dajie (North Aevenue - 北大街), Dong Dajie (East avenue - 东大街) and Xi Dajie (West Avenue - 西大街). Xian Railway Station is located outside the northeast corner of Xian city wall while Xian Xianyang Airport is located 40km northwest of Xian.

The ancient city wall still surrounds the downtown Xian in a rectangular shape with four gates lingking the four major streets extending from the Bell Tower in the center of the ctiy. Most of the attractions can be found close to the Bell Tower like Drum Tower, Great Mosque. However, some of the city sights, such as the Shaanxi Museum, Big Goode Pagoda and Little Goose Pagoda are located south of the city wall. The Terra-cotta Warriors is located about 30km east of Xian downtown.

Getting around in the city of Xian is also very convenient. The city of Xian is laid out on a grid pattern with clear road signs. Most of the attractions within the wall are walkable or bike friendly.

The tourism buses connect those sights a little far from the city center. The taxi rates are much lower than those in Beijing and Shanghai. Two of the six planned subway lines are under construction. In a word, Xi'an transportation is independent traveler friendly.

Xian has an increasing number of accommodations options ranging from budget hostels to upscale international chain hotels such as Sheraton, Shangri-la, the Accor.
