China covers 9.6 million km², third largest of any country, and holds more than 1.4 billion people — about 17 per cent of everyone alive. It is divided into 33 province-level divisions, two of them special administrative regions. Beijing is the capital; Shanghai is the most populous city by urban area. Between them the land runs from the Central Plain and the Yangtze and Yellow rivers out to desert, plateau, subtropical and temperate forest, and the Himalayas in the southwest. The first decision a visitor makes here is therefore not which sight to see but which climate to travel in.

Top things to see

Ranked by importance — sitelinks, pageviews and heritage status, not editor preference.

Nothing in China matches all of those filters

The list is built from real place data, so an empty result means the combination genuinely has no match — not that the page failed. Loosen one filter and the ranking returns.
