Plan to fly to Chengdu.
1. Need advice on the best month to travel
2. Other than Chengdu, where are the other places worth travelling and mode of transport.

GUESTCHRIS Tourist attractions are aplenty in Cheng and its Surrounding cities in Sichuan. How long will you plan to spend in travel?
Jiuzhaigou Valley, Giant Buddha, Emei Mountain are worth a try. Other attractions in Sichuan Priovince:

1) Criteria for "best"?
2) In where, Sichuan province? The country China? The continent Asia? The world? Goodness, do be more specific!

Thanks. I have 3 weeks. Other than Chendu, plan to tour 3 gorges, Xian. Do I have time to proceed to Silk Road and how far can I go within the time period of 3 weeks?

Sorry. 'Best' in terms of cool weather but not peak tourist season.
Only have 3 weeks to spare. Can you recommend places I should cover after landing in Chendu?

I would seriously recommend that you skip the 3 Gorges cruise. I went in January 2007 and it was a royal waste of my money and time. If you're interested in my full trip report and candid photos, email me at yahoo.com|ellyse99 and put "TravelChinaGuide" and your own username (eg KohCB) in the subject line.
Might be a bit rushed but you could cover some of the Silk Road destinations if you're keen. I hope you're fine with flying some legs of that journey, if so.
If you intend to cover Jiuzhaigou, Chengdu, Xi'an and the Silk Road then I would recommend coming in perhaps April, September or October, but avoid the 1st week of October.
