China popular attractions for the savvy traveler

Read to explore China attractions, but don’t know where to start?
That shouldn’t stop you from creating your ultimate list of best sights for a tour of this amazing country that offers surprise and delight at every destination. 

If anyone knows China highlights, it’s our wonderful multilingual travel guides on the ground in over 20 cities. As locals who love their home town and are proud and excited to share it with you, we asked them to put together everything you should know about the main China highlights when you visit. That way, you learn first hand from an expert before you depart and you will enjoy a more enriching experience while you’re here. 

Fancy diving into the incredible history of the Great Wall or the intrigue and mystery of the Forbidden City? We have you covered. What about Chengdu’s pandas, the phenomenal rice terraces in Longji, or Xian’s remarkable underground Terracotta Army? There literally is no shortage of China attractions, so creating your bucket list could be a challenge. So why not start here and learn from those who know China? It’s just another way we’re building bridges to connect people through history, culture, and experiences.

Our 5 city tour started in Beijing with Rita as our guide. She was eager, energetic and had the best snacks waiting for us upon arrival! She had great recommendations for restaurants and feedback on the local spots. She definitely set the tone for our 11 day trip and made our stay in Beijing enjoyable and memorable. Thank you for everything, Rita!

Tripadvisor score China Tours is Awesome and a Pleasure

Apr 2025 • Couples

China Tours was amazing to work with. They were so accessible and accommodating to any challenges. They planned the sites based on the day and conditions and experience. The driver and the guide were very nice and helpful. They take great care in assisting and they are very personable to make you at ease. I highly recommend their private tour options. The sites were amazing and I will continue to use them for other cities. My experience at Beijing was extraordinary.
