Considering that you have never been to China before and may not know how many days you should stay in China, here we have some suggestions  for you. China is the third largest city in the world, rich in tourist attractions, and if you have enough time, you could explore China for months. But most travelers don't have so much time, and we usually recommend travelers to have a 10-15 days China tour.

Usually speaking, for visiting a place like Beijing, Xian, Guilin, Lijiang, Zhangjiajie, Shanghai, Hangzhou, Suzhou, and Huangshan, 3 days are enough, but if you are interested in deep exploration, 4-5 days are advised. For Yangtze River, 5 days are needed for a voyage from Chongqing to Yichang. If you don't want to have a busy itinerary, you may visit less places, or extend your stay in China.

► For travelers who have only several days, you could have a 5-7 days China tour, and visit 2 or 3 places in China. Here are two China tour itineraries for your reference.
 


► For travelers who want to see more in China, you could spend 10-15 days in China to visit several places. You could make your own itinerary according to this two.
