Hi there. There is no direct bus for the mentioned route. I suggest you take tourist bus line 6, or no. 201 or catch a taxi to the XA Railway Station first. Walk to the east square of the station to take bus no. 914 or 915 to Lintong. It also suits the back trip.

Transfer from X'ian South Train Station to Bell Tower - easiest & quickest route?
I'm arriving at South Train Station on Sunday, October 9th 7:55 AM (on overnight train from Chengdu) and need to get to Bell Tower as quickly as I can. Seems that because South Train Station is so far away, not used nearly as often as the north station, there is very little information online about it. Google does not recognize it's location etc. Can someone please advise quickest and easiest way to get from this obscure location to very central location of the Bell Tower? Hoping there is a bus or metro route with easy to follow directions? Approximate travel time/cost?

Take bus line 918 from South Railway Station to Fengqi Lukou Station for about CNY 4 (about 1 hour). Then, take metro line 2 to Bell Tower from Fengqi Road Station for about CNY 3 (about 20 minutes).

Or, you can take a taxi to Bell Tower from South Railway Station. It takes 40 to 50 minutes, and the fare is about CNY 80.
