Xi'an
Xi'an is the ancient capital and eastern terminus of the Silk Road, home to the Terracotta Warriors, the 600-year-old city wall, and the Muslim Quarter.
Beijing
Beijing is China's 3,000-year-old capital: home to the Forbidden City, the Great Wall at Mutianyu, the Temple of Heaven, and the hutong neighborhoods.
Other Destinations decisions
Should I visit Beijing or Shanghai first?
Pick Beijing for a first trip with ≤7 days; pick Shanghai for repeat visits or food-focused trips.
Is Chengdu worth visiting?
Yes if you have 3+ extra days and care about food or animals; skip only if you're under time pressure.
Is Hong Kong worth adding to a mainland China trip?
Yes if you have 2+ days and want a decompression zone; Hong Kong counts as a "third country" for 240-hour transit re-entry.
Is Guilin worth the trip from Shanghai?
Yes if you have 4+ extra days and want scenery; skip on a 7-day first trip.
Is the Great Wall at Mutianyu worth the extra effort?
Mutianyu for an authentic Wall experience; Badaling only if you have <4 hours in Beijing.
