Cities & Districts — Xi'an for the Foreign Community
Xi'an treated the same way as the rest of the network — eleven districts plus two counties, the metro system with a working route planner, and Xianyang International Airport. Ancient capital, modern high-tech zone, all in one guide.
Key Facts
01 · Districts
Eleven urban districts plus two outlying counties (Lantian, Zhouzhi). The historic walled city covers Beilin, Lianhu and Xincheng.
02 · Every Line, Every Station
Ten operating lines. Lines 5, 6, 8, 14 and 16 are shown as partial — the source research explicitly noted missing segments for these lines rather than providing a complete station-by-station list, so they're flagged rather than guessed at.
