Sanya on the southernmost tip of Hainan is China's premier beach destination, with its palm trees, crystal-blue waters and white sandy beaches.

When coming to China for the culture, it’s going to be a tough pick between the capital, Beijing, and Xi’an, home of the Terracotta Army Museum, a collection of life-sized sculptures of the soldiers of Emperor Qin Shi Huang, the first emperor of China. The ancient city also has the oldest and best preserved city walls in China. Located right next to the walls is Shuyuan Party Hostel. Beijing meanwhile, has the Forbidden City, Tiananmen Square, plus The Great Wall of China not too far away.
If you are coming to China to appreciate the natural scenery, the south of China has its famous landscapes. The Guangxi region in particular has the two towns of Guilin and Yangshuo, where Li River runs through a dramatic landscape of limestone karst mountains. Aside from taking a river cruise from Yangshuo, you can also hike to Moon Hill to see a large rock formation with a moon-shaped hole in its center, while just a few hours from Guilin are the picturesque, postcard-perfect scenes of the Longji terraced rice fields. Or stay at Rice View Villa to admire the view from your window.
If you’re here for the pandas, Chengdu is where you’ll find Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding, a non-profit research and breeding facility, where you can learn about and view pandas in their natural habitat. Kempinski Hotel Chengdu is roughly just 40min away.
