Joe above presumed you wanted to go on the cruise as well... most probably because he's a tour agent and thus promoting it! There's no need to fly Jiuzhaigou -- Chengdu -- Xi'an, there're direct flights during summer and autumn for Jiuzhaigou -- Xi'an.

I was starting to doubt your sanity and intelligence otherwise. ;) BTW if you want my trip report and photos of that abonominal (IMHO!) cruise, email me at yahoo.com\|ellyse99 and put "TravelChinaGuide" and your own username (eg davemeechan) in the subject line.
