Whether you've just arrived at Xi'an Xianyang International Airport, stepped off the high-speed train at Xi'an North Station, or are already exploring the Muslim Quarter and need a working local SIM card, this directory lists 36 China Mobile (中国移动) service halls across 11 of Xi'an's districts and zones, with addresses and opening hours drawn from the sources named in the data note below. It is not guaranteed to be exhaustive.

Xi'an's Districts: Where to Find Your Hall

Xi'an's urban core consists of six districts within and around the ancient city wall: Beilin (碑林, south of the Bell Tower — the historic and university quarter), Lianhu (莲湖, west — the Muslim Quarter and Drum Tower area), Xincheng (新城, east — the railway station and government district), Yanta (雁塔, south — Big Wild Goose Pagoda and the university belt), Weiyang (未央, north — Xi'an North High-Speed Rail Station and the Economic Development Zone), and Baqiao (灞桥, east — Textile City and the Baqiao Wetland). Beyond the core, the Gaoxin Hi-Tech Zone (a development zone rather than an administrative district) and Chang'an District serve the southern tech corridor, while Lintong covers the Terracotta Warriors tourist area, and Yanliang and Huyi serve the outer districts. Gaoling District and Lantian and Zhouzhi counties are not covered in this directory. Tap your district below to jump straight to its halls.

Which Hall Should You Choose?

Staying inside the city wall or near the Muslim Quarter: the Zhonglou Flagship on Nandajie or the West Main Street hall. Staying south, near the Big Wild Goose Pagoda and the universities: the Xiaozhai Flagship, which is open until 19:00. Visiting the Terracotta Warriors: the Qintang Avenue hall in Lintong. Arriving on a Saturday: skip the Gaoxin Road flagship and use a Yanta District hall instead. If you would rather be connected before you land, see our China prepaid SIM and eSIM guide or the eSIM for China travel guide.

Practical Tips for Getting a SIM Card in Xi'an

1. Best halls for tourists

If you're staying near the city wall, the Bell Tower, or the Muslim Quarter, the Zhonglou Flagship Store (Nandajie, Beilin) is your most central option — a five-minute walk from Bell Tower Metro Station. For visitors staying in the southern university or Big Wild Goose Pagoda area, the Xiaozhai Flagship (Yanta) stays open until 19:00 and handles the highest volume of mixed domestic and international customers.

2. What to bring

Your passport is the only accepted identity document for overseas visitors — no exceptions apply. Counter staff register your passport details against a national SIM database before the card is activated. Chinese nationals must bring their second-generation national ID card (二代居民身份证). To act on another person's behalf, you will need a notarised authorisation letter (授权委托书) and your own valid photo ID presented alongside the account holder's — both documents must be originals, not copies.

3. Getting there by Metro

Xi'an Metro serves most of the core districts, but lines and stations keep being added, so check a current metro map before you set out. For the Beilin halls, Bell Tower Station puts you directly on Nandajie. For the Xiaozhai hall in Yanta, take Line 2 south to Xiaozhai Station. The Weiyang halls near Xi'an North Station are reachable by Line 2 to the North Railway Station. For the Gaoxin Hi-Tech Zone, a taxi or ride-hailing app is usually the simplest option.

4. Halls closest to tourist sites

The Terracotta Warriors (临潼): Qintang Avenue Business Hall in Lintong District, a short taxi ride from the museum entrance. The Muslim Quarter / Drum Tower (莲湖): West Main Street hall or Xiguan Business Hall, both within walking distance. The Big Wild Goose Pagoda (雁塔): the Xiaozhai Flagship and Chang'an Road halls are both in Yanta District, south of the city wall.

5. Xi'an area code and dialling

Xi'an's area code is 029. When dialling local Xi'an landline numbers from outside the city, prefix the 8-digit number with 029-. Calling 10086 from any China Mobile number anywhere in China requires no area code prefix.

How This Directory Was Put Together

Hall names, addresses and opening hours were compiled from the public listings named in the data-sources note above. Not every address or opening time has been independently re-checked, so treat hours as a guide and confirm with 10086 before a long trip. Hall-specific phone numbers are deliberately left out rather than guessed. The practical tips reflect standard China Mobile real-name registration practice.
