Instead of those 1 day guided tour ...we did our own F&E. very easy,

Prerequisite: Must have High Speed Rail ticket (HSR), ie. travelling to Xi'an by HSR. Need to show the ticket the to enjoy free shuttle service to a few tourist location. HSR ticket is valid for 3 days. ( not necessary to use the free shuttle on the day of arrival)

Sample of HSR ticket:

Once arrived at Xi'an Bei Railway station, make your way to South Exit No. 2. yes! if you look lost :s22::s22: like us , there are alot of touters to try to ...offer their services and packages.:s8:

look for this counter near the South Exit No.2. ( see the red arrow in the above pic), approach the staff and tell them you want the free shuttle service. They might try to hard sell you to buy a tour package. (maybe they have commission) but you know the drill.

In order to enjoy the free shuttle service, you need to purchase the Terracotta Warrior entrance ticket. cost Adult Rmb 120 ~ SGD $24, Child/student<16yrs Rmb 60 ~ SGD$12 . (Notice the 2 punched holes? suppose to be 3 according to the chinese words in red. will explain later). Price may change during peak/off peak seasons.

Free shuttle bus ticket. see arrow..valid for 3 days. You need to show the bus ticket every time you board the bus,.if you lose the ticket..:(:( please post instruction how you got back to Xian station. Might be helpful for the unlucky ones.

The bus actually stop at 3 tourist location. the 2 others are Li Shan and HuaQing Pool. If you been there please FR here, thanks.
That explain why the bus ticket is valid for 3 x days( can visit each site per day).

Why would you need/want the HSR ticket if you fly direct to Xian?

If you noticed, the HSR ticket from Beijing to Xian is RMB515.5 which is approx. S$100. The bus from Xian to the Terracotta Warriors is only RM25 one way.

Xi'an tourist itineraries were organised in the 4 cardinal directions:
East-
Banpo Museum, First Emperor Mausoleum, Terracotta Army Museum, Huaqing Pool, Mt Li, Lintong Museum, Mt Hua /Huashan
West-
Xianyang Museum, Mao Mausoleum, Zhao Mausoleum, Tomb of Huo Qubing, Concubine Yang, Famen Temple
South-
Dumu Shrine, Mt Cuihua, Mt Taibai etc
North-
Yan'an, Huangdi Mausoleum, Sima Qian Shrine, Yellow River Bottleneck etc
City-
City Wall, Shaanxi Historical Museum, Steele Forest Museum, Big and Small Goose Pagodas, Muslim Quarter, Drum and Clock Towers

Each route will easily take one day. Mt Hua deserves a night. Unless you are keen on historical sites and museums in the above list, my efforts are wasted on you.

I find the Giant Wild Goose Pagoda a waste of time. The fountain/light show too.

Yes, other than the historical significance- rarely do structures date over 1000 years back. Fountain/light shows are rarely worth the while too.
