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.

Tripadvisor score Highly recommended

Apr 2025 • Family

As an experienced international traveler, I had never used a travel agency before. I felt China was different and that I should use an agency. I am 100 percent happy I did and that I chose China Tours. Martha was responsive, helpful and listened to our particular wants and desires. We had three different guides and they were all of very high standards. Would highly recommend using for any China trios.
