Map of Downtown Xian
Situated in the Guanzhong Plain on the middle reaches of the Yellow River, Xian is reputed as one of the four most famous ancient capitals in the world. In this Xian map, both English and Chinese notes can be seen. The city has a very orderly layout. The green enclosure in the middle is the Xian City Wall. The Bell Tower stands in the very center. Four straight streets radiate from there, including East, South, West and North streets. Xian boasts many tourist attractions. This map only shows you the major sights in the downtown Xian. Among those, the Bell & Drum towers, Grand Mosque, Shaanxi Provincial History Museum, Big Wild Goose Pagoda and Tang's Paradise are the must-sees.

Fly to Xian International Airport in Xianyang and then take the airport bus to go to the Xian Railway Station. There you may take the Tour Bus No.5 (游5 in Chinese) to go to Terracotta Army.

Please advice if from malaysia kuala lumpur to china guangchow by flight.From guangchow to xi an by bullet train or flight better? how much fare for the bullet train and local domestic flight.I need more info b'coz l going to XI AN JIAOTONG University.

Ms.Yuan(China) replied:
As for the flights from kuala lumpur to Guangzhou, you can refer to this page:
http://www.wego.com/flights/airfares/kuala-lumpur-kul/guangzhou-can
You will arrive Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport.
However, I never found any information of the bullet trains from Guangzhou to Xian. The ordinary trains will take you more than 25 hours. Gosh, such a long time! I suggest you go to Xian by air. Actually, this website TravelChinaGuide can help you book discounted ticket from Guangzhou to Xian. When you arrive at Xian, you can take the airport bus to go to Xian Railway Station. Then, take the Bus No.240 to go to Xian Jiaotong University. Or you can take a taxi to go there.

Xian Tang Hanguang Gate(西安唐含光门）Site Museum has been built and will be opened to the public in the near future. The museum has created two 'Firsts' for Chinese museums. Firstly, it is China's first museum of city gate site, and second, it is the only museum showing the site of city gate in the Tang Dynasty (618-907).
The exhibition hall of the museum covers an area of 4,762 square yards, which displays the doorway of Tang Hanguang Gate, the cross-section of the city wall, and the site of a culvert. What's more, visitors can see some Ming (1368-1644) and Qing (1644-1911) Dynasties' cultural relics, such as ancient eaves tiles and wall tiles. Also, two thematic exhibitions on 'The Development History of China City Wall' and 'Chang'an City in Sui and Tang Dynasties' are displayed to introduce the background knowledge.
The site of a Tang's culvert is a treasure in the museum. Lying under the city wall of Hanguang Gate, it was actually a small section of the underground water supply pipes in Tang Dynasty. Seeing from its structure, we will now know how the water supply network developed in that period, which is introduced by a museum guide.
