While the beaches of China are often overlooked by travelers, the pristine and surprisingly uncrowded sands can be a rewarding experience. For the most comfortable and relaxing experience, visit beaches during the week and avoid holidays.
Beidaihe Scenic Area is a favorite for residents of Beijing with its large public bathing beach covered in golden sands. The rocky shoreline at Tianya Haijiao is lined with boulders including two that are etched with Chinese characters translating to “the ends of the earth.”

In China, the most popular tours today can be called excursions into the history of the country, which include visits to a great many local attractions, the most important of which is the Great Wall of China. Although, in addition to the main attraction of China, there are several more important historical sites. These include with full confidence the Shaolin Monastery, which is known throughout the world, the terracotta army that belonged to Emperor Qin Shi Huang, the palaces and temples of Beijing, and much more.
