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!

Shuttle bus
By JAZZ | 1/26/2006 5:57:02 PM
I got caught with the "shuttle bus" trick. A tour guide we had signed up with said the group of other tourists scheduled on our trip to the Burried Warriors had cancelled and that they would put us on another shuttle. It turned out we had to wait for about 2 1/2 hours for the shuttle to fill up.
As the bus filled up, some of the first passengers got off - they were planted there to make the bus appear full so more people would think "this shuttle will leave pretty soon."
Then it drove around with the ticket seller hanging out the window trying to drum up some last minute business!
The bus stopped at heaps of dumb places on the way there and the way back. A group of Chinese people got so fed up that they demanded their money back and got off. They caught a public bus.

Cacaja ,a newly opened Indian cuisine restaurant ,located in the 46# Yan Ta Xi Road,southwest to the Big Wild Goose Pagoda .
It is not very large ,but decorated delicately .
If you are a curry lover ,you should have a try.
The menu is written both in Chinese and English , but I doubt wether the waitress can speak English :)

Small Buses to Hua Shan
By CLARENCE | 12/22/2005 3:26:53 AM
These small buses will not go if they are not full. I waited from 8am in the morning till 11am and they still refused to go because it's winter and the people going to Hua Shan are few.

Qi Xian Youth Hostel
By CLARENCE | 12/22/2005 3:15:02 AM
This nice little hostel is situated along Bei Xin Jie. Since it's winter, there is only a handful of travellers there. The room is nice and cozy, and very clean! The architecture of the place makes you feel that you are staying in a old chinese street, cos they still retain about 90% of the old building. Staff are friendly and everyone is willing to help. And they even teach me and my friend like 100 different types of dice games!
This is quite a new hostel which opened in October 2005, and plus the small number of travellers during winter period, I cannot comment on the running of the hostel. You guys can go and try!

If you want to travelling in the whole province from Beijing,the route can be as Beijing---Xi'an---Huangdiling---Yan'an---Hukou waterfull---Yunlin.
In Xi'an,about three days.One day in the downtown,the second day go to Warriors and Huanqingchi,the third day go to Famen Temple and Qian Tomb.
The fourth day,from xi'an to Huangdiling,about 2 hours,just need a half day,and then take a bus go to Yan'an in the evening.
From yan'an to Hukou waterfull,there was travelling bus,very convenience!Then you can travel in Yan'an---Red City!
From Yan'an to Yunlin,you can take a bus!and Yulin is a special city,original Great Wall and Hongjian Nuor in Shenmu,exciting!
