Xian Railway Station

Xian Railway Station is the most important hub connecting the Northwest and Southwest China. There are many daily trains in Xian linking Beijing, Shanghai, Chengdu, Lanzhou, Xining, Urumqi, Lhasa and more. Traveling Xian by train is much sought after by many tourists in a safe and money saving way.

After the completion of Xian's second railway station - Xian North Railway Station, all the high speed trains have been relocated to the new train station. If you take a high speed train from Xian to Luoyang (Zhengzhou) or Huashan, you now should go to Xian North Railway Station now.

Xian Railway Station is located just to the north of the northeast corner of Xian City Wall. The main road "Jiefang Road" ends at Xian Train Station - its north tip and connects southward the Dong Dajie.
