Answer

Xi'an North High-Speed Railway Station is indeed a very large station, and it has multiple entrances/exits (A, B, C, D, etc.). For high-speed train departures, the drop-off point can affect how quickly you reach the waiting hall and your train platform.

Here are the key details:

Main departure entrances: Entrances A and B are generally the primary drop-off points for passengers with departing high-speed trains. These are closer to the main waiting halls and ticket gates.
Entrance C and D: These entrances are usually for arriving passengers or those entering the station from side streets. They are farther from the main departure waiting halls, so using these may require walking longer distances inside the station.
Recommendation: When booking Didi, select Entrance A or B for a departing train to Guangzhou. Ask the driver to drop you as close as possible to the waiting hall for departing trains. Look for signs inside the station that say “High-speed train waiting hall” (高铁候车大厅) after entering.
Extra tips: Arrive at least 60–90 minutes before departure to allow time for security checks, ticket verification, and navigating the large station.

In summary, for departing high-speed trains from Xi'an North, Entrances A or B are most convenient for a Didi drop-off. C or D may be more for arrivals or long walks inside the station.
