Want to stay relatively close to Beijing and do a city that is close to Beijing or between Xi'an and Beijing.

I was tempted by Chengdu but decided it's best to go in the warmer months and explore all the parks in the Sichuan region.

It's looking like we will do 2 days in Datong visiting the grottoes and Hanging Monastery.

Question - for the train ride my friend thinks there is no point paying $10 more for soft sleeper over a hard sleeper. He's even considering hard seat on the day train any advice on which class we should use?
