Chengdu to Xi'an Map

Plan your trip between Chengdu and Xi'an on the Xi-Cheng High-Speed Railway. The route departs from Chengdu East and passes through stations such as Guangyuan and Hanzhong before reaching Xi'an North. This transport corridor crosses the rugged Qinling mountains, offering a look at the engineering required for China's rail network. The travel time is approximately 3 hours and 15 minutes for the fastest services.

Rail vs Bus vs Plane

High-speed rail is the preferred choice for this route as it connects city centers directly. While flights are available between Chengdu Shuangliu and Xi'an Xianyang airports, the total travel time including airport transfers and security checks often exceeds the train duration. Long-distance buses take over 8 hours and offer less space. The train provides a reliable schedule regardless of weather conditions that might affect air travel.
