Our trip to China in 25 days It will take us to tour a small part of this immense country for which we would need several months if we wanted to cover it completely.
Without having that time we have chosen to make an itinerary in which we will stop at some of the most tourist and important places of this fascinating country.
China is the most populous country in the world. With an area of 9.6 million square kilometers it has borders with fourteen States and is the third largest country in the world on land surface.
China is a country that is modernizing by leaps and bounds, but if you go through it selectively, you can learn about the history of the oldest civilization in the world.
Legends of the Forbidden City in Beijing, discover a part of the Great Wall, approach the Terracotta Warriors, get lost in the streets of Píngyáo, the best preserved walled city in China, cycle along the karst peaks of Yángshuò or navigate the river Li, one of the most scenic in the country.

Being such a large country and with such a meteorological difference, it is difficult to determine the best time to travel to China, although in a generalized way we can say that, although China is a destination to which you can travel throughout the year, The months of April, May, September and October are better for traveling anywhere in the country.
In the northern area, the winters are very cold and the summers are humid and warm.
The months of June to August are also a good time to tour the central area of the country and the north. In general, we can say that the seasons of Spring and autumn are the best months to travel to China.
For Entering China requires a valid passport for at least six months and it is necessary to process the visa in advance if traveling from Spain.
In general, the only visas processed at the border are the five-day ones for Shēnzhèn and the three-day visas for Zhūhǎi-Macao.
For tourist tickets, you do not need a visa for either Hong Kong or Macau, although if you enter from China and you want to return to the country, a multiple entry visa or a new one is required.
