The Xi'an Railway Station is the largest rail hub in western China and a vital station along the Eurasian Continental Bridge. It mainly services regular trains to/from most major cities in China like Beijing, Shanghai, Chongqing, Chengdu, and Guangzhou. The trains to/from Lhasa of Tibet also have a stop here. The Xi'an - Beijing, Xi'an - Shanghai, Xi'an - Pingyao and Xi'an - Zhengzhou high speed trains are available in the North Railway Station. Besides, the bullet trains to/from Wuhan, Shanghai, and Guangzhou are also operated here.
Tips: Taking travel time into consideration, the bullet types are always the best choice. However, when you buy tickets between Xi'an and Beijing or Shanghai, some overnight sleepers are favorable for they save time and also the expense on hotels, for example, Beijing - Xi'an, Z19/Z20, T41/T42, T231/T232 and Xi'an – Shanghai, Z94/Z92, Z166/Z164. It is recommended to book these popular tickets as early as possible; otherwise, it can be hard to get the most suitable sleeper tickets.
