What is the most economical way to reach the Terracotta Warrior in Xian. I do not want a shopping.

Hi, where are you departing from? Anyway, you can take Tourism Bus Line 5 (No. 306), 914 or 915 at the East Square of XA Railway Station to reach there. It is convenient and cheap.

I will be staying at the Citidines Central City Hotel in XA and want to visit the Terracotta Soliders without a tour. What transportation do I take. I can get to the Drum Tower and can take a bus or transportation from there. Will I miss anything if I do not book a tour and just go independently??

Oh, I see. As I know, your hotel is very close to Drum tower and Bell Tower. You can walk to Bell Tower bus stop to take bus no. 46, K46, 216 or 239 to XA Railway Station or take a taxi to reach with the taxi fare of CNY7. Then walk to the east square of the train station to take the bus I mentioned in the first reply.
