[QUOTE=moondog;18272890]visiting Xi'an in the summer strikes me as potentially unpleasant (smog, heat, dust)QUOTE]
What normally is a better time for Xian? I've read that Jiuzhaigou is great any season (different flavors according to the season). Would it be better to do this plan in a different season?
Thanks.
