Cities & Viral Spots
Five cities, filtered by intent instead of alphabet. Chengdu and Chongqing are run by our in-house team; Beijing, Shanghai and Xi’an are covered through partners.
Chengdu
Pandas, teahouses and the slowest pace in China
Chongqing
A vertical city of monorails, bridges and night fog
Beijing
Imperial scale, hutong mornings
Shanghai
The easiest landing point in China
Xi'an
Terracotta Army, city walls, Muslim Quarter
Two cities or five?
Most first trips are 8–12 days. Two cities done properly beats five cities seen through a train window — the guides on each city page tell you how many days it actually needs.
What “viral” costs you
The spots you saw on TikTok are real, but the queue is too. Each city page flags the hour to go, the ticket channel, and the nearby alternative that locals use instead.
