Popular Chinese cities and resorts
Beijing
The capital of the Middle Kingdom astonishes with its scale and grandeur. The Forbidden City, Tiananmen Square, the Temple of Heaven, and the nearest section of the Great Wall — a must-see program for every traveler. Modern Beijing surprises with futuristic architecture, parks, and lively night markets where you can sample dozens of street food dishes.
Shanghai
China's financial capital and one of the most dynamic cities in the world. The famous Bund waterfront with views of the skyscrapers of Pudong, the historic Tianzifang district with art galleries, and Shanghai Disneyland — the city offers entertainment to suit every taste. Shanghai is ideal for those who want to see modern China in all its splendor.
Hainan (Sanya)
China's main beach resort, often called the "Eastern Hawaii." The bays of Yalong, Dadonghai, and Haitang offer tourists the cleanest South China Sea, a comfortable year-round climate, and a developed hotel base. Here you can combine a beach holiday with visits to the "End of the World" park, tropical forests, and hot springs.
Guangzhou
A southern megacity famous for its Cantonese cuisine, considered the best in all of China. Canton Tower, Shamian Island with colonial architecture, and the Temple of the Six Banyan Trees — here history and modernity intertwine in the most harmonious way. Guangzhou also serves as a starting point for trips to Hong Kong and Macau.
When to go
The best time for a trip to China depends on the region. For sightseeing tours of Beijing and Shanghai, choose spring (April-May) or autumn (September-October), when the weather is comfortable at +18...+25 °C without exhausting heat or rain. The beach season in Hainan runs from October to April — air temperature stays at +25...+30 °C, and water warms up to +26 °C. Summer months in Hainan are hot and rainy, but tour prices during this time are significantly lower.
