📖 How the day between Beijing and Xi'an unfolds

Pickup is listed at 6:30 am in the hotel lobby, followed by a transfer to Beijing West for the G91. Its timetable is reproduced as “7:50-12:06 am”, an ambiguous expression to clarify with the operator. At Xi'an Bei, the guide and driver wait at meeting point 1 with a sign bearing your name.

Lunch may come first, or the visit may begin straight away; the guided visit is described as taking place in the afternoon. Return to Xi'an Bei is listed before “18:00 pm”, another expression mixing time formats. The G90 then appears with the schedule “18:22--22:32”. At Beijing West, the driver waits at exit 3 for the hotel transfer, with no final arrival time specified.

Check on ViatorThe itinerary gives a total of 300–480 minutes and a single 300-minute stop at Mutianyu.
