About:Xian Transportation

Aloha!
My husband and I will be taking a 1 day excursion to visit Xian and would like to see the Terra Cotta Warriors, Xian City Wall and Shanxi History Museum. Is it possible to visit all 3 places in one day. We will leave Beijing on Air China Flt 1203 at 7:30 am on 3/28 and arrive into Xian at 9:20 am; and will leave Xian on Air China Flt #1212 at 9:30 pm that evening.
I have heard that there is a train that goes to Terra Cotta Warriors. What would be our best way to visit these 3 places..do we catch a taxi from the airport to the city Central and then take Tour Special Line 5 or Bus 914 & 915 to / from there to Terra Cotta Warriors? How do we visit the Xian City Wall and the Shanxi Museum and then return to the airport.
I would really appreciate any help and information you can provide. Thank you,

It is not impossible to visit these three places in one day. No train goes to terra cotta warriors. I am living in Xian. Suggest you take airport bus to the city center and then rent a taxi for round trip to terra cotta warriors. You need one hour from the airport to the city center and one hour from the city center to Terra cotta Warriors. That is to say it is noon when you get to Teera Cotta Warriors and you can finish at 2pm or so and get back at 3pm. Then you can ask the driver to drop you off at South Gate or East Gate, where you can get to the city wall. South Gate id the most beatiful gate. In the city center, where you get off the airport bus, there are the landmark of Xian, the Bell tower and Drum Tower. You can visit there and then waiting for the airport bus back to the airport at 7pm. So, you will miss the museum. THe museum is in the south part of the city, close to Big Wild Gosse Pagoda. It is free of charge. If I remember correctly, ticket to enter (show your passport, they will give the ticket to you) is not available since 4pm. If you want to finish the three in one day, shorten the time at each place: terra cotta warriors (12:00-13:30) to Museum (15:00-16:30) to the city wall (17:00-18:00) through SOuth gate. Then have dinner to the pick-up point for the airport bus.
