Things to see & do in China - Sights, shops, climb the wall!

visitors walking up the stairs of the Great Wall of China at badaling. China travel is high on the list of favorite destinations, and certainly one of my favorite countries to visit. And a good place to start your tour is Beijing.

There are lots of things to see, like the Beijing sights including the Forbidden City, the Temple of Heaven, and the Summer Palace.

The Great Wall of China is a Must See, and shopping is a Must Do, especially in HongKong and Tsim Sha Tsui, about a three and a half hour flight south from Beijing.

Watch artisans in China fashion cloisonne, pearl jewellery and jade. Find what hotels cost in China. Get a good China travel guide book,

Read my China provinces travel story about a road trip from to Wuzhou to Nanning. Or my story China tours to Haikou Hainan.

    Hi!

    Since your email is a China address, perhaps you'd be the authority on best time to travel :-)


    I've had best weather in late September to early December, and in April and May.

    It all depends on where in China you travel and at what time of year.

    Have a look at the other China pages on this site for more information.
  • How cold in winter?

    Hi Karen,

    Just how cold does it get in winter in China?

    I've seen photos of snow capped mountains, but don't know if it's European-cold or Sydney-cold?

    Thanks for all the great info!

    Hi Teena

    North of China is Canada- cold - brrr - and Hong Kong, Hainan, is more Sydney cold at its coldest - damp and chilly but not below freezing.

    Shanghai in February was Sydney winter-y - chilly, jacket at night and some mornings but lovely during the day.

    That's why I suggest checking for time of year and area of China - most people don't see the whole county in one trip.

    And layering clothes - cardigans to go under nylon jackets, and camis and T's so that you can wear all your travel wardrobe at the same time just to keep warm and then pare it down when the heat comes up!
