I will be in Jingdezhen in late October, what would be the best way to visit the terracotta warriors

You can take a bus to Wuhan first. Then at Wuhan Train Station, you can take a high-speed train to Xian North Train Station in 4-5 hours. After that, you can take local bus no. 266 or catch a taxi to Xian Railway Station, where you can take tourism bus no.5 (306) from the east square, or bus no. 914 or 915 to the Terracotta Warroirs directly then.

Hi,Gill

The fastest way from JDZ to Xi'an is take a airplane.

But there is no direct flight between, you could take a highway bus to Nanchang city from JDZ City, it'll cost 2.5 hours and 70yuan RMB. And then fly from Nanchang airport to Xi'an airport, it'll cost 1 hour and 40 minutes and 1,000yuan RMB.
Or, you can fly to Beijing first, it'll cost 1000yuan RMB and 2 hours. And then fly from Beijing to Xi'an, it'll cost 700yuan RMB and 2 hours.

If take a bus or train to Xi'an, it'll cost like 23 hours, but it's much cheaper than take a airplane.

please feel free if you have questions about JDZ.
Best wishes
