No doubt, anyone visiting China would like to see all the great things that are happening in Shanghai, and with the right information it is easily accessible. It has long been China's capital and is described as one of the most beautiful cities in the world, which is not surprising considering that it is the capital of China, the second largest city after Beijing. There are a lot of great places in Beijing, Shanghai and other cities, but not all are as easy to find as Shanghai.
With so much on offer, the only problem is how to summarize the best places in China in one trip. Simply put, there are too many great places in Shanghai to do it all at once, and not enough time for them all.
No list of places to visit in China would be complete without mentioning Beijing, the capital of China and the country's second largest city. Beijing is the current capital of the city and remains the most popular place in the world with over 1.5 billion visitors a year, according to the World Tourism Organization.
Chengdu is also one of several easy trips that are perfect for those who travel independently in China. Free walking tours are available and you can buy tickets for free at Chengdu International Airport, the main airport in the city.

If you want to travel to Hong Kong, Macao or mainland China, you will receive a visa that allows multiple entry. If you add more Chinese destinations to your trip, it depends on how much time you have in total, whether you spend a month in one of the most important tourist destinations in China, such as Guangdong, Hainan, Guangzhou, Shanghai, Shenzhen, Beijing, Chengdu, etc., and then stay after visiting them. Take at least three months to really explore China if you intend to venture into western China. There is a good chance that you will have to return to mainland China or travel to Hong Kong to stay a few days or even a week or two before returning.
Note that tourist visas allow a stay in China of up to 30 days and that Macau and Hong Kong have a limited number of short-stay visas of up to 72 hours. A 72-hour visa qualifies travelers who plan stopovers or short stops outside China. Foreigners wishing to travel to China can register with a travel agency in their country of China that will arrange the trip for you.
If you are Canadian of Chinese origin travelling to China, the border authorities may ask you to provide your Chinese name. Please let the name of your destination write in Chinese as some drivers do not speak English.
