00ReplyTo Ms Carissa, it is hard to say if there is a snow in Xi'an during your stay here. I am in Xi'an and in the last winter, we have few snow and we have heavy snow in 2008. It is more probably to see the snow in Northeast/Northwest China. You can pay attention to the weather of Xi'an. Harbin is a good winter resort, but it is far from Xi'an.
