12 essential places to see in China on your own
how can you know until the 31 of December of 2025 needless issue a visa to travel to China with a Spanish passport if you are going to be there for 15 days or less.

You can also explore the hutongs (old alleys with traditional houses) and delight in the famous local cuisine, such as Peking duck in restaurants such as Quanjude (open since 1864). We also recommend leaving some day to see the most modern side of Beijing by touring the streets of Sanlitun and its Art District 798, both full of super stores cool, cafes and restaurants.

There are several sections that can be visited, the most accessible from Beijing are Badaling y Mutianyu (the latter was the one we visited). If you prefer to avoid the crowds, you can venture to less touristy parts like Jinshanling o simatai, although it is about 2 hours from the Chinese capital.

Known for its unique rock formations, the Zhangjiajie National Park is one of places to visit in china What if or if you have to include it in your route.

Near Zhangjiajie is the Tianmen Mountain, famous for its "gateway to heaven", an impressive natural arch. Can Ride the longest cable car in the world and walk its different paths (some made of glass). We hope you have better luck than us, as fog and rain are very typical in this area of China. If you would like to go up to Heaven's Gate on foot, keep in mind that they are 999 steps with a super slope. In our case we went up by cable car and walked down. Of course, we recommend that you buy the tickets in advance, as it is one of the Turistics places of China that receives more visitors. He left you with a stock photo, since we couldn't see Heaven's Gate because of the fog.
5) Zhangjiajie Grand Canyon and the Crystal Bridge
Also very close to the previous two places to visit in China, we recommend that you include in your itinerary the Zhangjiajie Grand Canyon as longest and highest glass bridge in the world. This bridge measures 430 meters long and is at a height of 300 meters above the canyon, a great plan as long as you don't have vertigo. Walking on this bridge is a unique experience, but the visit does not stop there. We recommend you explore the canyon by boat and on foot enjoying nature and the area's impressive waterfalls. We bought a ticket that included a visit to the glass bridge, zip line over the grand canyon, virtual reality visit, boat tour and hiking along the canyon. If you organize yourself well, you will have half a day for this activity. We leave you with a photo of the views of the canyon from the bridge.
IMPORTANT: If you are going to travel to China on your own and you still do not have insurance, we always take it out with IATI.

We also loved walking around the Colorful and stimulating area of Datang Everbright City.

This impressive sculpture measures 71 meters high and was built during the Tang dynasty to calm the turbulent waters of the three rivers that converge where it is located.

12) Hong Kong,
If you are looking for an what to see in China in 15 days or more days You can include the city of Hong Kong in your tour. However, we recommend leaving it for the beginning or end of your trip because, if you didn't know, With a Spanish passport you do not need a visa to visit Hong Kong for periods of less than 90 days. I leave you a link to the website of Ministry of Foreign Affairs where indicated. Therefore, you can make your 15-day visa-free China itinerary and then continue 5 days in Hong Kong perfectly. We, as we had already been in this city a few years ago, We spent our 14-15 days exploring other destinations in China. We'll leave it here for you, just in case you haven't considered it, as it is one of the coolest cities in China.
And here ends our recommendation of the places to include on your list places to see in China for free. If you have more than 15 days, take into account these other destinations: Pingyao, Yangshuo and Guilin. If you have fewer days, it will be a matter of eliminating from the itinerary the places that attract your attention the least. In any case, if you are going to travel to China on your own and you want to complete this journey, You will have to get up early and know how to get along well with Didi (Chinese Uber is very cheap). This way, you will save time on public transport and negotiations with traditional taxis (in China, haggling is also common). In the following video you can find more information to help you plan your route through China.

Hello! I am Ruth, Canarian with a traveling soul. With training and experience in the tourism and digital marketing sector. In this blog I tell you all the tips you need to get to know the most authentic side of Gran Canaria on your own. I also share my travel guides to all the places in the world that I am visiting so that you can discover the destinations like a local and save time planning. In addition to traveling, I love gastronomy and sports. I run and hike in the mountains with my “dog-children” (Silver and Plata). In all these adventures my partner accompanies me, Jorge, which you will also see a lot on this blog.
Hello Goodnight Ruth, thank you very much for the information. We are shaping the trip following your steps. We have thought about eliminating the panda area, which I don't know the name of 🥲, it seems like a very long trip to be there for just one day. In this way, we have thought about traveling directly from Zhangjiajie, where I think we will spend four nights, according to your recommendation, to Xian, I think it will be with a flight, but since we don't have your example in this part, we are lost 🥲. We will extend a few more nights in Xian and a few more in cities like Shanghai and Beijing because we are going to rush with the 15 nights that the visa allows us. If you have any information that you can give me or any opinion regarding this decision, I would appreciate it.
On the other hand, I wanted to ask you about insurance. We have private healthcare and I will ask what coverage it gives us in terms of health, but I would like to know if there is any type of cancellation insurance for both flights and accommodation. Also, if you can tell us about the insurance you took out, I would really appreciate it 😊.
Thank you very much again in advance.
We are letting ourselves be guided by your itinerary and your advice, all the videos you have made are a lot of work.
A big hug and thank you very much.
Cristina
Good morning Cristina, I think it's a very good decision, by removing Chengdu from the itinerary you will enjoy Zhangjiajie and Xian much more, two destinations that we loved! And Fenghuang, are you going first? Its historic center is crazy, it's worth visiting, it's only an hour by bullet train from Zhangjiajie. If so, I think it's great, in fact, in my summary video of my itinerary through China I indicated that if I had to remove a stop, I would remove Chengdu...
Regarding travel insurance, the one we took out includes more things, even the IATI Backpacker has coverage in case of accidents while doing risky sports, such as ziplining. Take a look at the IATI options. https://www.iatiseguros.com/?r=4418484041375 Their website is very simple and has a list of all the coverages it includes, in addition to health coverage 🙂 I don't have private health insurance, I don't know what coverage your insurance gives you... Maybe you don't need it, although it's not a very big expense either.
Great, we're glad you're helping out. When are you leaving? We're currently organizing Malaysia. Have you been there? Hugs and enjoy!
Hi RuthYes, like you we would like to spend a night in Feghuang. Our concern now is to know how to get from here to Xian, since you went to Chengdu. It is complicated because from here we cannot check with Maps how to go by train, for example, or if this option exists.
We are travelling at the beginning of August, we are going with my children, aged seventeen and nineteen, and this way we are going a little more cautiously. They are older but I am still a little worried about the journeys from one place to another. And at this point, since we cannot be guided by you because we change the route a little, we get lost 🥲.
Regarding the insurance issue, if I do it on my own, I understand that I have to take out everything within a certain period of time and then the insurance. We were thinking of taking the flights first, including the internal flight to Zhangjiajie, and I don't know if we'll need another one to Xian and then the accommodation, but I think I have to do everything within a period of a week or so and then send it to the insurance company. Is that correct?
Thank you very much again for everything.
Happy week
Hi Cristina! I don't usually take out flight cancellation insurance, so I don't know how to do it... check the IATI website and ask them.
On the other hand, Fenghuang has a train station, you just have to look at which cities/airports are nearby and from there you can get to Xian 🙂 I remember that we went to Huaihua station and from there to Chengdu station. On the Rome2rio website you can find combinations between cities, it is quite useful.
A hug!
Hello again Ruth, we are still working out the details 🥲. You told me that you went to Feghuang by bullet train, but when I looked for information I saw that there is no train station in Feghuang. I suppose you would go to a nearby station, can you tell me? There is another option of going by bus but it takes longer and that is why I wanted to know your experience in this regard.
Thank you so much for all the information and sorry for the inconvenience.
A hug 🫂
Cristina
Hi Cristina! Fenghuang is a big city, there is a train station on the outskirts, the train does not drop you off in the historic center! Then you have to take a taxi to the historic center (about 15 minutes), in the YouTube video we show it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=528wKonqUyw&feature=youtu.be
If you can't find it in Fenghuang, look here: Fenghuanggucheng
Luck!
Hi guys, we are Colombians and we will follow your steps through China, although it will only be for 13 days since we will be in Asia for 30 days.
We will keep you informed, although it will be in the first week of April/25
If you are interested in coming to Colombia, do not hesitate to contact us.
Hello!! How nice, enjoy it a lot!!!
Hi Ruth!! Thank you so much for giving us ideas on how to enjoy a trip like this on our own. I wanted to ask you why you did a Beijing-Shanghai trip instead of enjoying two or three days in Beijing and then heading to Shanghai.
I also wanted to ask you where you bought your train tickets, whether you did so online or directly at the station.
We want to start planning the trip. There are four of us going in August, with the warm weather!!🥵.
Thank you.
Hi Cristina! Great, I'm glad the info is useful! We did it this way because that way we saved on transfers to the airport (especially in terms of time). Our itinerary through China was very tight and the cities in China are very big. Also, the airline allowed us to buy a one-way flight from Madrid-Beijing-Shanghai and a return flight through Beijing. Anyway, we were arriving in Beijing at 6 in the morning... no hotel was going to let us have a room hehe... so we took advantage of the opportunity to travel straight to Shanghai and then we returned to Beijing by touring the country!
We travelled in May and were able to catch trains at the station as we saw them. Sometimes we didn't find seats together, but there were always places available. The film will change in August, I recommend you book on this page:
https://www.trip.com/t/oHKK48NwyY1
However, keep in mind that places don't go on sale until a few weeks before...
Good luck with the organization, great trip!
Hi RuthHow are you? I discovered you yesterday on YouTube while searching for videos from China. We are traveling in March/April to China and Japan. We are flying from Buenos Aires to Beijing and the same thing is happening to me as happened to you. I am finding better prices for round-trip tickets to Beijing. So I had thought about arriving in Beijing and taking a direct flight to Shanghai or Hong Kong. Is there any low-cost airline that you recommend? I am having a hard time finding that. Thank you very much!!!
Hi Brenda! What we did was book everything with the same company, which allowed us to go from Madrid to Beijing to Shanghai and return from Beijing to Madrid. We flew with China Airlines. Another airline we used during our trip to go to Zhangjiajie from Shanghai was China Eastern… I don't know any other airlines, to be honest…
If you have time, another option worth considering is the bullet train… spend a few days in Beijing and then go to Shanghai or do the itinerary in reverse, from Beijing go down to Xi'an and when you finish in Shanghai take a flight or bullet train…
Hong Kong is super far away! We went on another trip and spent almost a week there, at least for Spaniards you don't need a visa to go to Hong Kong…
I hope I have helped! A hug!
Hi RuthSorry for asking so much, but I have some doubts.
I'm trying to look at the trains from Beijing to Xi'an and from Xi'an to Zhangjiajie (I'll enter through Beijing and leave through Shanghai), but I don't know if it's because there's so much time left (from 14/6 to 29/6) that I can't see any routes. Could you give me more information about the train routes?
On the other hand, I would like to know, based on your experience, if you would stay in other locations that would have made it easier for you to travel around the areas you have visited.
Thank you.
Hi Nati! The trains are only put on sale a few weeks before… that’s why you can’t see them… you can try to see them in the next few days to get an idea of the frequency… but until a few weeks before, nothing…
I always looked at him in this page
As for accommodation, I remember that we were right everywhere, I work hard with that hehe. Always close to some tourist attraction and metro stop. You can check it yourself in the list I share 🙂
I hope I have helped, greetings!
Hi RuthI'm Nati, congratulations on the hard work you do to benefit other travelers.
I am 53 years old and as my children say, I am a bit inept on social media. That is why I am grateful for all the information that is so easy to access.
I'm from Barcelona. I would appreciate it if you could tell me about your flight to China. If it was direct and with a different airline. Also about the internal flights. You also mentioned that you did Hong Kong in another time period (if I'm not mistaken) and that it doesn't count as the 15 days in China. Can you tell me more about this?
My "crazy" trip is to go alone, one month to South Korea, one month to Japan, and then meet up with my family in China. So we would do the tour of China together.
Two years ago, we were already in Japan and Korea. But I wanted to see more places. I will try to see many of the things you have experienced. Because it is really very nice to see and hear your experiences 🥰
I encourage you to continue enjoying life 💛
Hello Nati!!
Let's take it one step at a time haha. First of all, thank you very much for appreciating our hobby-work, which we do with so much passion.
I'll tell you, we flew with Air China Madrid-Beijing-Shanghai and on the way back Beijing-Madrid. Of the internal flights we only took one from Shanghai to Zhangjiajie with China Eastern Airlines, everything was great with both. The rest of the transfers were by train. I suppose there are flights from Barcelona too, just look at Skyscanner and the companies will appear...
The exemption from issuing a visa for Spaniards who want to travel to China, as I read on the website of the Chinese embassy in Spain, has been extended until December 31, 2025 for a period of stay not exceeding 15 days. I share the link with you:
http://es.china-embassy.gov.cn/esp/lqyw/asuntosconsulares1/202405/t20240508_11300788.htm
On this other page of the Ministry you can see that a visa is not required to enter Hong Kong and Macau for a stay of less than 90 days. Therefore, I would take advantage of those 15 days to visit deep China hehe.
https://www.exteriores.gob.es/Consulados/hongkong/es/ViajarA/Paginas/Documentaci%C3%B3n.aspx
I hope it helps, best wishes and enjoy my three favorite countries in the world! :) I'm so envious!
Thank you very much Ruth!! 😘
Hello Ruth!
La Cina was già una potential meta per il prossimo viaggio che vorremmo fare..
Read your blog and it has convinced me to find something!
Do you believe that the part of Tianmen Mountain and Porta del Paradiso will be happy with the children? Or troppo pericoloso?
Thanks and compliments!
A greeting
Claudia
Hello Claudia!
Thank you very much for your comment, I am happy that you are motivating.
You will say… everything is soon to move with the elevator, the funivia or the scale mobility. I ponti di vetro hanno barriere de sicurezza, quindi capisco che yes 🙂
In the morning for the organization of your trip!
Hi Ruth,
I'm in contact via WhatsApp with a guide who will take me through the park both days and it's quite cheap, like 120 euros both days. I think I got the phone number from your blog. Is it possible? is it trustworthy? Before making the payment… I would like to know.
Hello!! What park are you talking about? We did not hire any guide on the entire trip... so you may have gotten it from another source...
Hi Ruth,
You've done a great job recording all the useful information! It's been very helpful for us to organize our trip. Could you tell us how you traveled over longer distances? Train or internal flights? Did you book well in advance or on the same day?
Thank you very much.
Hello Yadira!! Thank you very much 🙂 We did Madrid-Beijing-Shanghai all in one go and we went to Zhangjiajie on an internal flight from Shanghai, the rest was all by bullet train. Having traveled in May we took a risk and booked the trains at our convenience as we arrived at the station. The bad thing about this is that you risk a lot, but the good thing is that you have more flexibility. In addition, on the trains you rest a lot and you can continue organizing things about the trip by having internet...
To book the trains I recommend the page trip.com There you can also book activities that, depending on the season, we also recommend booking in advance.
I hope it helps you, have a good trip!
Hello again Ruth!
Thank you very much for your previous response 😉
Regarding Xi'an, you mention that the bus to visit the Terracotta Army (I have read that it is bus 306) leaves from the Xian Station, but I have seen in forums that indicate that this stop no longer exists and leaves from the station Fangzhicheng bus station, is that correct, and could you tell me where exactly that station is? (It doesn't appear on Google Maps, and the only station I see with that name is metro line 1). And regarding the tourist buses: could you tell me where to buy the tickets, and where the number 5 bus that goes to the Terracotta Warriors leaves from?
Thanks again for the information, greetings!!
Hello Cristina! The truth is that since we went by didi / taxi I can't tell you about the experience in public transport... if you already have the hotel reserved, contact them so they can give you the information or perhaps on the same day you arrive they can give you directions. I can't help you, sorry 🙁
Hi RuthCongratulations on the blog, it's great!
I will travel to China alone at the end of August, and in Zhangjiajie I have a couple of doubts:
– The bus that goes from Wulingyuan to the Grand Canyon, do you know where it leaves you in the Grand Canyon and where you have to take it later to return? (I don't know if I would know how to use DiDi for transfers, although I understand that it will be Uber type, but I don't know if I could link my Spanish card to make the payment).
– In Tianmen Mountain I have read that there is a fats-track line that leaves you halfway to the cable car (at the entrance to the cave), do you know where it is taken, and if it is included in the entrance?
– In Wulingyuan, since my idea is to spend 4-5 days, is there somewhere to buy supermarket-type food, or will I always have to eat in a restaurant?
Thank you very much, and I will continue reading you!!! ;p
All the best
Hello Cristina! Thank you very much for your comment! 🙂
– From Wulingyuan to the Grand Canyon we don't use the bus, but if you can't manage with Didi, I recommend the taxi... it's not much more expensive and you save a lot of time... if not, when you get to your hotel ask, Wulingyuan is not very big . Regarding Didi, once you get the hang of it, it's the best... and I think it's essential that you have Alipay to pay in China, linking the card is simple. Link several in case one fails and payment is from the Didi mini app within Alipay. It will also help you rent bikes in larger cities, etc.
-In Tianmen Mountain there is probably a way to go directly to the base of Heaven's Gate, upon arrival in Wullingyuan ask at the ticket office. Likewise, if you book tickets online (something I highly recommend), you have to go to the ticket office to redeem them and register with your passport. If you can, book a time other than first thing, it's crazy. For example, from 14:00 p.m. to 15:00 p.m. or from 15:00 p.m. to 16:00 p.m. You can see all types of tickets in this link. Stop by there the day before or the morning before and ask what is the best way to get there, surely the €35 ticket includes another way to go directly. You can see them all here:
https://www.trip.com/t/O2rJf3I5BU1
In Wulingyuan there are supermarkets and many fruit stalls on the street, also a lot of street food, it is not necessary to always go to a restaurant, although they are very cheap 🙂
You're welcome, I hope it has been helpful, I don't know if you have seen the videos on the YouTube channel, there we explain many more details and you can get a better idea of what Wulingyuan, Tianmen, etc. is like.
Greetings,
Ruth
Spectacular trip! I'm envious, but healthy.
the truth is yes!! We hope it helps you 🙂
