Summer is very hot, especially at the height of summer, with strong sunlight, even more so around noon; there are occasional rainstorms, but they come and go quickly. During the day, try to avoid places without shade, such as the ancient city walls of Xi'an, but there are no restrictions on visiting indoor attractions, such as the Shaanxi History Museum.

All in all, you just need to protect yourself from the sun in summer and avoid traveling outside during the hottest part of the day.
