Chinese President Xi Jinping on Wednesday extended a warm welcome to US tourists to travel to China, meet Chinese friends, experience Chinese culture, visit beautiful landscapes and experience the real China, in a congratulatory message  to the 14th China-US Tourism Leadership Summit held in Xi'an, Northwest China's Shaanxi Province.
