Xi'an Tourist Bus

In Xi'an, urban tourist buses, mountain tourist buses and direct buses to famous suburban attractions are in service, providing convenient transport for travelers. Usually, these urban buses can be easily recognized by their numbers marked with the character '游' (You) which means 'Tourist'. Most of the attractions in the urban area, such as the Bell Tower and Giant Wild Goose Pagoda, are linked by the tourist lines. In addition, the transportation to destinations in the suburbs, such as Terracotta Army Museum can also be dependent on these buses.

Besides the public tourist buses, joining a guided tour offered by TravelChinaGuide.com is a good choice to save time and cover the major attractions in one day.
