Why visit China?
China offers a powerful blend of ancient heritage and fast-changing modern life, from imperial capitals to high-tech megacities. You can explore dramatic landscapes, historic neighbourhoods, and a rich tapestry of regional cultures on a single journey.

What to expect
Each region has its own character, from Beijing's grand boulevards and Shanghai's waterfront skyline to Guangzhou, Shenzhen and Xiamen along the southern coast, and Chengdu and Chongqing in the west. High-speed rail, domestic flights, and extensive urban metros make it easy to link several cities in one trip.

Plan your trip
You can use China as a gateway to explore wider East Asia, combining major hubs like Shanghai or Beijing with side trips into nearby provinces. With Singapore as your connecting hub, it is simple to build flexible itineraries that suit business, leisure, or a mix of both.

Many cities offer landscaped gardens, green belts, and scenic lookouts, giving you easy options to pause and reset between busy days of sightseeing or meetings.

A taste of China

Casual & modern dining hubs
Across major cities, you can find everything from simple eateries and cafés to contemporary restaurants in business districts and shopping areas. These hubs often bring together dishes from around the country, so you can sample several regional styles without leaving one city.

Signature & scenic dining

Malls & lifestyle hubs
In cities such as Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, and Chengdu, large malls blend international labels with local brands. These lifestyle centres also tend to house cafés, cinemas, and indoor attractions, making them convenient places to spend part of the day.

Evening retail scene
After dark, brightly lit shopping streets and extended opening hours keep commercial districts lively in major Chinese cities. Some neighbourhoods blend late-night snacks, casual entertainment, and browsing, allowing you to enjoy the atmosphere as much as the purchases.

Best time to visit China

Spring and autumn shoulder season (March to May, September to early November): In many eastern and southern cities, temperatures are usually around 10–22°C (50–72°F). This shoulder season often brings milder weather, making it comfortable for sightseeing.

Summer peak season (June to August): Summers in much of China can be warm to hot, with typical temperatures between 25–33°C (77–91°F), and higher in inland or southern cities. This is the peak season, with longer daylight hours and a busy travel period for local and international visitors.

Winter low season (late November to February): Northern and inland cities can be cold, with temperatures often ranging from -5–8°C (23–46°F), while southern coastal areas are usually milder. This low season can be appealing if you prefer fewer crowds and crisp, cooler days.
