 By Taxi

Go to Xian Railway Station by Taxi

If you would like to get to your destinations quickly, you must use a taxi. At present, there is a taxi park being set up just 20 meters in front of the Exit of Xian Railway Station. Here, passengers can take taxis as soon as they arrive in Xian. Entering the park, you will notice an indicator board on which the Xian taxi fare standard and the distance to some destinations are listed.

However, if you arrive at the railway station outside the times of 06:00~23:00, you will not be able to find a taxi inside the park, but only at some distance out of the railway station. The taxi driver will insist on his given price and would prefer to carpool several passengers to the same destination. It will be up to you to negotiate the price with the driver.

 Tips:
1. It is suggested that you should take taxis only from the taxi park when you arrive in Xian, since some taxis out of the park are illegal.
2. Whether you are are going to or leaving Xian Railway Station by taxi, you should ask the taxi driver to charge according to the meter before taking the taxi. Otherwise, you can refuse to take his taxi and change to another one. Because the fare asked for is always much higher than the actual (meter) price and this situation often happens at the railway station.
