Planning tips
How to pick your route
The best trip length depends on your arrival city, travel pace, and whether you want a classic highlights trip or a more scenic regional journey.
For first-time visitors
7 to 10 days is often the easiest starting point, giving you enough time for Beijing, Xi’an, and one modern or scenic stop without feeling rushed.
For short vacations
Choose 3 to 5 days if you want one city done well. Focus on a compact route with minimal transfers and plenty of time for neighborhoods, food, and day trips.
For scenic travel
Plan 10 to 14 days if landscapes are a priority. This gives you room to add places like Guilin, Yunnan, or Zhangjiajie alongside major gateway cities.
For independent explorers
If you have 2 to 3 weeks, build in slower travel days, overnight trains or regional flights, and extra time for local experiences beyond the main sights.
