By high speed train from Beijing to Xi'an you will arrive at Xi'an north railway station, from where you can take metro line 2 to Beidaijie, transfer to line 1 to Fangzhicheng, change to line 9 to Huaqing Pool, get off and take the bus Lintong 613 there. To avoid the transfers, you can take a direct bus at North Bus Station beside the railway station which takes40 minutes and CNY 30.

baggage regulation

We are now planing a rountrip through china and want to use fast train connections, for example from Beijing to Xi'an. Is it possible to carry 2 luggages per person (handluggage <10 kg and a luggage of 20 kg) - as usually allowed by travelling via aircrafts - with us in the same train? Is it also possible to carry a stroller for our 3 year old son with us?
