Xi'an Tourist Bus

In Xi'an, urban tourist buses, mountain tourist buses and direct buses to famous suburban attractions are in service, providing convenient transport for travelers. Usually, these urban buses can be easily recognized by their numbers marked with the character '游' (You) which means 'Tourist'. Most of the attractions in the urban area, such as the Bell Tower, Shaanxi History Museum and Giant Wild Goose Pagoda, are linked by the tourist lines. In addition, the transportation to destinations in the suburbs, such as Terracotta Army Museum can also be dependent on these buses.

Besides the public tourist buses, joining a guided tour offered by TravelChinaGuide.com is a good choice to save time and cover the major attractions in one day.

How can i go to the bus station Fangzhicheng Coach Station? I don't have find to the map
Can you help me?
TY

A more convenient way from Bell Tower to Terracotta Warriors Museum is to take Metro Line 2 from Zhonglou to Beidajie Station and then transfer to Metro Line 1 to Fangzhicheng Station. Then transfer to Metro Line 9 to Huaqingchi Station. Walk out of Exit C and walk east about 200m to take Lintong Bus Line 602 to reach the destination. It takes about 2 hours and costs CNY 9.
