China spans vast distances: Beijing's imperial palaces and modern skyscrapers, Shanghai's financial sleekness and water towns, the Great Wall's mountain stretches, and rural provinces where temples and farming villages stand largely unchanged. Scale and regional differences define the experience — most first-time visitors focus on one region.

Beijing Capital (PEI) and Shanghai Pudong (PVG) dominate international arrivals; Guangzhou (CAN) and Chengdu (CTU) serve secondary routes. Immigration queues are common, especially morning and evening waves, running 20–40 minutes. Processing is efficient; have your passport and arrival form ready. English at major airports is passable.

Each answer shows when we last verified it against the official source. Entries we have not verified yet are labeled as dataset-only.
