The name Xian refers to the local area and its heritage
Xi'an is one of China's most important educational centers with over 60 universities. Xi'an Jiaotong University (founded 1896, one of China's top 10) and Northwestern Polytechnical University (China's premier aerospace and aviation school) are the most prestigious. The city produces more engineers and scientists than almost anywhere else in China, earning it the nickname "China's Silicon Valley of the West."
Xi'an's metro system has 9 lines covering 300+ km. The airport line connects Xianyang International Airport (XIY) to the North Railway Station in 45 minutes. However, the metro doesn't reach many major tourist sites like the Terracotta Warriors. Our private car service is the most convenient way to visit the Warriors and other suburban attractions. The city is also a major rail hub with high-speed connections to Xi.an (4.5 hours) and Shanghai (6 hours).
Xi'an sits in the fertile Guanzhong Plain, surrounded by the Qinling Mountains to the south and the Loess Plateau to the north. The Wei River flows through the city, and the nearby Black River supplies much of the city's water. The Qinling Mountains are a biodiversity hotspot, home to the giant panda and golden monkey. Xi'an experiences a semi-humid continental climate with hot summers and cold winters.

Getting to Xian by air, rail, or road
Northwest of the city · 40 km to Bell Tower
XIY is Xi'an's main airport and one of northwest China's busiest gateways. It has three terminals: Terminal 1 (regional flights), Terminal 2 (domestic flights), and Terminal 3 (most international and major domestic flights). The airport metro line connects to the North Railway Station in 45 minutes, but with luggage after a long flight, a private car is the most comfortable option. By road, expect 50–60 minutes to downtown hotels near the Bell Tower.
Expanding capacity · Same location
Xi'an is rapidly expanding its airport capacity to serve growing international traffic. The existing terminals handle flights to Seoul, Tokyo, Bangkok, and major European cities. Our drivers monitor terminal assignments and will meet you at the correct arrival hall.
High-speed hub · 30 min to Bell Tower
The main station for high-speed trains to Xi.an (4.5 hours), Shanghai (6 hours), Zhengzhou, and Luoyang. The station is modern and massive — a pre-booked pickup with a clear meeting point saves significant time.
Historic central station · 10 min to Bell Tower
Located near the city wall, this is Xi'an's traditional main station. It serves conventional trains to western and northern China, including routes to Lanzhou, Urumqi, and Tibet. Its central location makes hotel transfers quick.
Regional trains · Southern suburbs
Mainly serves regional trains to nearby cities and mountainous areas in southern Shaanxi. Less frequently used by tourists but useful for trips to the Qinling Mountains.
Freight hub · East of the city
Primarily a freight station, though some regional passenger services operate here. Not commonly used by tourists.
For Mount Huashan · 120 km east
If you're taking the high-speed train to Mount Huashan, this is your station. From there, our driver can pick you up and take you to the mountain entrance, or you can book a direct private car from Xi'an.
We meet you at the exit with a name board and help with luggage.
Book Station TransferCapture the city from the most iconic and photogenic angles.
Best at 8:30 AM
Arrive when the gates open to capture the warriors in Pit 1 without the crowds. The morning light filtering through the hall creates a dramatic atmosphere. Your driver can get you there from downtown in under an hour.
Best at golden hour
Cycle or walk the South Gate section at sunset for stunning views of the old city rooftops, Bell Tower, and modern skyline beyond. The warm light on the ancient brickwork is magical.
Best after dark
The neon signs, red lanterns, and steam from street food stalls create a vibrant, atmospheric scene. The narrow alleyways around the Great Mosque are especially photogenic in the evening.
Best at evening show
The musical fountain show in front of the pagoda is one of China's largest. The illuminated pagoda reflected in the water, with colored fountains dancing in sync, makes for spectacular night photography.
Best in late March
This ancient temple is one of Xi'an's best-kept secrets for cherry blossom viewing. The pink blooms frame the traditional architecture beautifully, with far fewer crowds than Wuhan University.
Best at sunrise
For the adventurous photographer, the perilous plank walk on Mount Huashan's south peak offers heart-stopping views and dramatic cliff-face shots. Not for the faint of heart.
Shredded braised pork stuffed in a crispy flatbread. Xi'an's most famous street food. Look for the "Zhouzhi" style with extra spices. Your driver can recommend the best roujiamo stall near the Muslim Quarter.
A hearty lamb stew with hand-torn flatbread soaked in rich broth. A beloved Xi'an tradition. The best restaurants are in the Muslim Quarter. A warming meal, especially during Xi'an's cold winters.

Wide, hand-pulled noodles as thick as a belt, served with chili oil, vinegar, and vegetables. Named after the sound of the noodles slapping against the counter. The Chinese character has 58 strokes — one of the most complex in the language.
The best place for souvenirs, from Terracotta Warrior replicas to traditional calligraphy. Bargain hard. The night market is also a food paradise. Your driver can drop you off and arrange a safe pickup after dinner.
A modern recreation of the ancient Silk Road market, with shops selling jade, silk, tea, and antiques. The museum here has artifacts from the original Tang Dynasty market. Great for high-quality souvenirs.
A pedestrian street near the South Gate filled with shops selling calligraphy brushes, ink, paper, and traditional art supplies. A great place to pick up unique gifts for art lovers. Your driver can drop you at the entrance.
Xi'an's most modern shopping center, with international brands, a cinema, and restaurants. Located near the High-Tech Zone. Your driver can pick you up after shopping and take you directly to the airport or your hotel.
High-quality replicas of the famous warriors make iconic souvenirs. Look for hand-painted ceramic versions from reputable shops near the museum or on Shu Yuan Men. Avoid the cheap plastic ones sold by street vendors.
A signature art form of the Tang Dynasty, these glazed pottery pieces feature rich amber, green, and cream colors. Reproductions of horses, camels, and figurines are popular. The Tang West Market has the best selection.
Northern Shaanxi paper-cutting is bold and rustic, featuring animals, folk tales, and auspicious symbols. These red cuttings are lightweight, meaningful gifts. Find them at the folk art shops on Shu Yuan Men.

Where to experience it: Yi Su She Theatre or the Shaanxi Grand Theatre. Ask your driver to book tickets.

Insider tips to help you experience Xi'an like a local.
The Terracotta Warriors open at 8:30 AM. Arrive at the gate 15 minutes early to be first in line. The first hour is blissfully quiet — by 10 AM, tour buses arrive en masse. Your driver can get you there right on time.
The best roujiamo is found in the Muslim Quarter's back alleys, not the main tourist street. Look for a stall with a queue of locals. The "Zhouzhi" style with extra spices is the local favorite.
Rent a bike on the South Gate and cycle the full 14 km of the wall. The views at sunset are unbeatable, and the temperature is cooler. The rental shops close at 8 PM in summer, 6 PM in winter.
Spring: Cherry blossoms at Qinglong Temple. Summer: Cool evenings on the city wall. Autumn: Golden ginkgo on Yanta Road. Winter: Hot lamb soup in the Muslim Quarter.
Free tickets are limited and queues are long. Book online at least a week ahead. The museum is closed on Mondays. A Tuesday or Wednesday morning visit is usually the quietest.
Public buses to Mount Huashan take 2+ hours and are crowded. A private car gets you there in under 2 hours, and your driver can wait while you hike, then take you to a local restaurant for a well-earned meal.
