China offers an extraordinary range of experiences shaped by thousands of years of history and rapid modern change. From imperial landmarks and Silk Road heritage to natural scenery and everyday local life, each city reveals a different layer of the country’s story.
This Things to Do in China guide is organised by destination, helping you explore experiences city by city rather than as isolated attractions. In Beijing, travellers encounter the Great Wall, the Forbidden City, and historic hutongs. Xi’an connects ancient civilisation with Silk Road culture, while Shanghai blends heritage neighbourhoods with a striking modern skyline. Chengdu offers a slower rhythm, known for giant pandas, teahouses, and regional cuisine.
This page is designed to spark ideas and help you imagine how you want to experience China.
