Getting around in Qinling Zoological Park
By PEA28COCK | 5/8/2006 4:34:44 AM

In the park, you can take free bus to have a general view of almost all the wild and ferocious animals in the park. Of course you have to show your park ticket before you get on this free bus.

There is battery cars which you have to pay 5 Yuan for every time you take them. And again if you want to take the 'little train'in the park you need to pay an extra 10 Yuan. Walk is also a good way to enjoy the animals and natural sceneries, though a little bit tired.

Remember to keep the ticket when you are in the park, because you can enjoy some free performance based on this ticket.

Qinling Zoological Park
By PEA28COCK | 5/8/2006 4:13:00 AM

If you want to go to Qinling Zoological Park, there are three bus routes.

You can take 320 at the Gig Wild Goose Pagoda to get to the park directly.

You can take 321 at Nanmen stop (South Gate Stop)to Weiqu Xijie stop and then change to 320 to get to the park.

Still you can take 322 to the last stop and then change to 320 to get to the park.

There is only one bus No.320 heading for other places in Xi'an. Therefore you'd better end your trip in the park a bit earlier to avoid the swarms of people.

Good luck.

Tourist Bus to Terracotta Warriors

You can arrive at the terracotta warrior museum by tourist bus No.5 to the southeast of the Railway Station Plaza.The green bus, "游5" in Chinese, is also named No.306. The bus starts every 15 mins. 5 Yuan will take you to the destination and the round trip ticket is 8 Yuan. Just REMEMBER one thing! Never go to other buses or follow the people who try to drag you to their buses!

The special lines to Mt. Huashan
By DAISY | 11/29/2004 11:39:43 AM

For more option, take the special lines to Mt. Huashan from the East Square of Xian Station. The price should be RMB18.
As I know, in shoulder season, the 1st bus departs about 8:30 am ,and last 12:00 am; while in high season, the 1st 7:00 am, the last 14:00 pm.
The last returns from Huashan at the same day at 17:00 pm.

Please note the bus schedule^_^

To Mt. Huashan
By DAISY | 11/29/2004 11:32:33 AM

From the Xian Airport:
The Xian Inertnational Airport is about 138 km from Mt. Huashan. With the speedway, you would only spend one and half hours to get Huashan from the airport.

From the Railway Station:
Take off at the Huanshan stop, and take public bus to the scenic area, about RMB3.
From Xian Station, there have so many special lines to Huashan. According to the type of the vehicle, the price would be RMB11, RMB16, RMB18, RMB21 respectively.

Long-Distance Bus:
At the Tangdu Bus Station (at the Langle Zhonglu) of the eastern Xian City, you can take the bus to Huayin county where Huashan lies. About every 10 minutes, one bus starts off.
Single ticket: RMB15-20.

To the Xian Airport from the downtown
By DAISY | 10/25/2004 10:44:42 AM

Of course the shuttle bus is the ideal means to / from the airport, but you always should take about one hour to wait for the next one setting off if you are unfortunately miss one which is just leaving. Generally speaking, at most hotles, you can take the shuttle bus, but it is always difficult to find the hotle's exact loation near your location. With the time passing, and the flight takeoff time approaching...

So Taxi would be the best alternative. You should get to a fixed price before getting into the car. It should be RMB80 at most, and the toll (RMB5) shouldn't be paied by you.

The best way to get around is...
By DAISY | 10/15/2004 10:59:58 AM

The best way to get around is to take taxi. Taxies in Xian are not expensive and save time. The hire price is 5(or 6 for a better car)Rmb which covers the first 3 kilometres and an additional fee of 1.2/kilometres applies for additional mileages.
