guest46181	I've been studying in Beijing for 2 weeks now and have another 2 weeks to go. Ive seen Shian, Shanghai, and Inner Mongolia. Im going to have time left for one more trip and I can't decide between these two places. Both look absolutely gorgeous. I have about 3-4 days to do either one and I'm having a really hard time making up my mind. Has anyone been to one or the other, or preferably both and can give me some input? Thanks

GUEST01124	I have the same problem to making a choice. Since you have been to Xian and Beijing, which of the tombs and museums have you visited ? Can you let me know which tomb is better to visit between the 2 Ming Tombs and between the Ming ones and the Xian ones ? And which are the top 3 museums you have visited in those cities and how do you rank them ? Thanks.

Jiuzhaigou is my pick too

And just now it is not so popular because of the recent Earthquake so you'd enjoy it at a little off season crowd numbers too.
Well worth flying in there. Shuttle bus from the airport both ways and accommodations likely to be discounted.

Two days in the park is enough and you could have a look at Songpan and perhaps take a horse trek for the day as well or just ride a bus up country and back again for a few hours. Always great way to see the scenery
