Hi, I am planning to go to China by myself on either the 28th of June or July 1st.
I want to travel for three weeks.
I am thinking of going to Beijing and Xian.
I just checked some hotels, and I might stay in Shanton Hotel in Beijing and Skytel Hotel in Xian.
Are those hotels clean, quiet, safe and close to many tourist attractions?

I want to experience culture and history, not shopping.
What is the best way to visit two cities , maybe one more city?
In what order do I need to travel, Xian for four days first and then Beijing for 16 days?
I need some tips.
Thanks.
