Travel in China - how best?

My wife and I are going to China for two weeks beginning in the end of January.
We'll fly to Hong Kong, but we'd also like to see Guilin and the area around it
and Xi'an. Has anyone had experience making arrangements for anything even
vaguely similar with a travel agent either in China or in the U.S.?
We've found a web site 'Chinatravelguide.com' and wonder if anyone has had
experience with them.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

If you are in HK there are plenty of travel agents there who can arrange
your trips. Xian is going to be very cold in January.
