how to get to Xian from Singapore as a tourist? |
|
|
Hi, I am from Singapore and wish to plan for a Xi'an trip with my guy friend in around Nov for 1 week stay. I prefer to go for Free & Easy. There are so many places of interests that I would like to visit. So many place, with so little time. I really need help from you gals and guys:
1. If I am travelling from Singapore airport, will I need to go Beijing Int'l airport-> Xi'an domestic airport? How long will the journey takes from Beijing->Xi'an?
2. What is the weather like in Nov?
3. I saw some threads recommanding Shu Yuan Youth Hostel and it's quite cheap. I wish to know the location, price for twin sharing, and for the twin sharing, is the toilet located in the room or common toilet? Is there other hostel/hotel that is cheap and good?
4. If I have 7 days in Xi'an, what are the places that I MUST visit? Is it better to travel on my own, or travel with China tour group?
Hmm.... so far these are the questions that I can think of...Hope there is someone there that can help me with my inquiries.
Thank you.. thank you... |

1. If you fly from Beijing to Xi'an ,nearly 2 hours ,and the fee is about RMB 1200 ,if there is not any discount .
2. Nov. is winter here in Xi'an , a little cold and you'd better bring some coat with you ,of course you can buy them in Xi'an according to the weather .
3. the hostel you mentioned is located near the South Gate ,downtown in Xian ,traffic is very convenience.
4.There are really many places of interest here in Xi'an. I think the Terra Cotta Warriors and Horses is a must-see place, because it is one of the eight wonders in the world. In addition it is do worthwhile a visit.

Hi,
Thanks for the information. I checked with one of the tour agency in Singapore, the package that they have is Singapore->Beijing(5days)-> Xian(2 days)-> Singapore, I don't really like the arrangement so I am thinking of travelling to Xian only. I shall call the travel agency and check out the return tickets sgp->xian->sgp. But do you think if I travel to Beijing, then buy air-ticket on the spot to Xian will be cheaper? but then that will be too troublesome. Haiz. Really hope to make it to Xian this November:) Think I should settle on the air-tickets first before asking more questions on the accomodations and places of interest. Thanks for the promt reply. Xie Xie. |

If you only want to travel to Xi'an,I think you should stay in Xi'an 3 days!
D1:Downtown(City Wall,Beilin,Shaanxi Museum,Dayan Temple,Bell tower,Drum tower,watch the Music fountain on Dayanta Square in the night 20:00)
D2:Warriors and Huaqingchi.
D3:Qianling(Wu Zetian and Lizhi tomb,very nice)and Fa men Temple!
Maybe it is cheaper you buy the airticket from Beijing to Xi'an in that time.There will have discount. |
