Where to visit in China for your first trip? Since I really enjoy going to China, I often asked where to go for a first trip to China. This can be really difficult and obviously will depend on what you like and dislike but I have some general guidelines Beijing: China’s History & Power Center - Home to China’s most famous landmarks: the Great Wall, Forbidden City, Temple of Heaven - Best place to understand imperial China - Food staples like Peking duck and classic northern Chinese cuisine Xi’an
