Transport yourself back thousands of years as you wander through ancient temples and then marvel at the modernity of a line of skyscrapers during a trip to China. This country of contrasts is home to some of the most famous attractions in the world, from the Great Wall of China and the Terracotta Army to the Yangzi gorges and the Forbidden City. Foodies should head to Beijing for some of China’s most exquisite cuisine, eaten with chopsticks and washed down with tea, and followed by an evening enjoying the buzzing nightlife. Those looking for a Westernised metropolis will enjoy Shanghai, home to a couple of the world’s tallest skyscrapers as well as Art Deco monuments.
Renting holiday apartments in China
When you’re staying in a country so different to your own, it can be reassuring to be surrounded by the comforts of home in your holiday accommodation. That’s why apartments in China are such a good option. When you book China apartments through HouseTrip you can rest assured your holiday rental will have all of the mod cons you’re used to back home, like a fully equipped kitchen, but with the added advantage that when you step outside you’ve got a whole new culture to explore!
Where to stay in China
HouseTrip has a range of holiday accommodation in some of China’s most popular cities.

Many apartments in Shanghai and Beijing are situated near the Metro so you can use the public transport to zip around. Choose an apartment in China with a balcony and you can enjoy a delicious take-away al fresco finished off with an authentic green tea.
China with the family
Your children will experience a culture so different to their own on a family holiday to China. Base yourself in Beijing and you will be spoilt for choice when it comes to awe-inspiring attractions to visit with your kids, from the treasures of the Forbidden City to Tian’anmen Square. Be sure to take them on a trip to the Great Wall too, and to nearby Chengde with its beautiful imperial buildings. If Shanghai is your favoured location, then take your family on the Huangpu River tour, go shopping on Nanjing Lu, and chill out in the classical Chinese garden Yu Yuan. With a holiday rental for the family in China you can all relax together in your living area, a big bonus of booking spacious China apartments compared to cramped hotel rooms.
