[quote=APAULT,258866]Guest 16118.  I would definitely take a down jacket to the wall.  Temperature may get below -10C, maybe -15C and if the wind is raging...you will need it.  What is sometimes forgotton is that westerners generally do not wear as many clothes as the locals.  Even down here in Guangdong which is just tropical and the night temps have so far stayed above 10C, people are wearing thermal underwear (long johns) but this is partly because many do not heat there homes (whereas I turn on heaters and wear shorts, being an Australian).   As a Canadian you are surely more used to the cold temperatures and it is true you get warm while climbing the wall.  As an experienced hill walker I believe you should go fully clothed and take off layers rather than risk being cold.

In Xi'an there are several good hostels - the two I am familiar with are quite different in character.  I have also heard the one Elysee recommends is good.  If you hit any problems, there are two hostels within 200 metres of the south gate: stay inside the wall and head west.  The second is very new and as well as a nice style tends to be yonger oriented, with a late bar and associated activities.[/quote]
