ReplyIf I make a transit in Xi'an, how long it takes to change the train?
Do I need to exit and then go through the security check again? Or I can go directly to the second ride?

If you can collect the paper tickets for both trips in advance before the trip to Xi'an, usually 30min is possible for this transit. You can use the transfer passage to back from platform to the waiting hall directly, therefore, you do not need to go through the security check again. If you will travel with heavy luggage or with kinds/senior passengers, you may consider to prepare about 1 hour between to avoid any rush. Hope this can help you.
