Xian Transportation -- By Tour Special Bus
xian

In Xian City, 11 tour special lines are opened, supplying convenient transportation for local residents and travelers. Most of the tour destinations in the urban area, such as the Bell Tower, the Shaanxi History Museum and the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, are easily linked by the tour lines. On the other hand, the transportation to those destinations located in the suburb, such as the Mt. Huashan and the Museum of Qin Terra-cotta Warriors and Horses, can be totally dependant on the reliable city-buses.

Usually, these buses can be easily recognized by their numbers which are marked with the character '游' (You). Generally, the 11 tour buses can be divided into two categories:
 You 1, You 2, You 3, You 4, You 5 and You 9 — these buses run between the downtown area and the famous attractions around Xian City. Except of You 4 and You 9, all of them can be taken from the East Square of Xian Railway Station.
 You 6, You 7, You 8 and You 10 — these four lines mainly serve the urban area of Xian City. With the help of these, the numerous tour destinations are linked together methodically.

Tips: 1. Besides a busy tour line, You 5 is also frequently used by local citizens and the universities' students daily. Therefore, you may found it is difficult to take the buses in Xian at the weekends. In order to release the pressure, travelers are suggested to take the suburban lines of No.914 and No.915 also at the East Square of Xian Railway Station. 
2. During the national holidays of May Day and National Day, more buses will be put into use. So, it is easier for travelers to take buses with an interval of around 5 minutes. However, the ticket fare during these holidays may be increased by CNY1 to CNY2.
3. After arriving at the railway station, you may find that some people recommend their tour buses or ask whether you need a bus to the Terra Cotta Warriors and Horse. They are some private tour guides of good faith, but please don't show any interest in them! You should keep away from them or say 'No!' loudly.
