 Airport in Xi'an by ahoerner When you arrive in Xi'an you may have three options: 1) take a taxi 2) take a shuttle bus, which ticket is sold on the counters located on the arrival hall in the airport 3) walk out of the arrival hall and take the small shuttle buses parked just outside. I suggest option #3. Fare is RMB25 (around $3) and you get safely to the Bell Tower in less than one hour. And you still have money to have a nice dinner, if you want. Leave a Comment Theme: Bus

Xi'an Aiport is a loooooong way from the city. Allow at least 90 minutes to get from the city centre and 2 hours if you have to travel during peak time. (I don't care WHAT iut says in hotel websites about the travel time!) Insist that taxi drivers use the new expressway, rather than the older route if you are running late. However, if you do have a bit of time spare, the older route takes you past some of the pyramid tombs - you can even ask the taxi driver to stop at several of them. On the way into town note that there are many, many, many unlicensed (read uninsured) taxis at Xian Airport. Avoid them. They will NOT repeat NOT be less expensive than the normal taxis....EVEN if you agree a lower rate up front. Their trick is to stop on the highway and demand a higher fare. You refuse and you get kicked out on the road. The airport bus, though slower, gives you a nice view of the plain and the Weihe on the way into town. You arrive 10 minutes later, but you see more of China. The airport itself is very efficient and is well designed, so you don't have to walk far to the gate. The terminal was opened in September 2003 at a cost of US$181 million. Despite this, the range of food, shops, and bookstalls is abysmal, and you see the same sad-looking empty glass shelves with little pyramids of chocolate bars evenly spread around. There are more shop assistants (bored, hostile, witless) than products on display. Curiously, the old Xi'an airport terminal was only opened in 1991...thats more recent than most European airport terminals. China seems to dispose of airport terminals quicker than most people get rid of old cars. Leave a Comment Theme: Airplane

 The sign board of the airport bus route by maywongkm Cheaper option to the city (25yuan, approx. 1hour). Can't miss it, as the buses are just right outside the airport. We told the bus conductors where we wanted to go, and they directed us to the correct bus, and where we ought to alight. We took the bus in which its last stop is at the Melody Hotel (West street), very near the Bell Tower. Once down from the bus, be skeptical of the taxi drivers who tries to rip off newcomers to the city. Theme: Bus

When you land at Xi'an airport walk straight out of the airport and you will see the airport buses lined up. Bus line 1 will take you to the Bell Tower (stops infront of Melody Hotel) in the middle of the city. The cost is 25 RMB and takes about 50 minutes. You can get the tickets just before you get on the bus. The bus conductors were helpful in giving some information on how to reach your hotel from the bus stop. Once you get off the bus at the Melody hotel becareful of taxi louts waiting for the arrival of the bus as well as pick pockets and souvenir hawkers. You can catch the bus back to the airport from the same location infront of the Melody Hotel. Once on the bus show your airplane ticket the the conductor and they will inform you which terminal to get off. Theme: Bus

. Try www.elong.com for China domestic flights schedules and prices. Some flights are discounted. Sometimes 50% or more! In China, the flights are usually discounted closer to the date of departure. Last year (May 2007) I flew from Xi'an to Shanghai for 50% off for a total of 760 rmb including all taxes and fees, about $99.00 at that time. It would be over $100 with today's exchange rates. I have other information and web site as a China travel tip at the below location. http://members.virtualtourist.com/m/9e4cc/5a0/9/ Leave a Comment

When you get out of the airport, go straight out the doors and you will see the transit busses in front of you. Its only 25rmb to town and takes about 50 mins The drop off point is in front of the melody hotel in the city centre by the bell tower. BE AWARE Taxi touts will try and get you to go with them, they can get aggressive. The bus goes from 7am in the morning to like 11pm at night 1/2 hourly The return journey to the airport is from the drop off point. Theme: Bus
