Take a flight to China

With a multitude of cheap flights to China from Canada, visiting this one-of-a-kind destination is easier than you think. The country is as vast as it is diverse, allowing you to experience ultra-modern cities like Shenzhen and centuries-old monuments like the Great Wall. This fascinating contrast between old and new is one of the country’s main draws. Thanks to affordable airfare, budget-friendly accommodation, and a favourable exchange rate, you can visit China without breaking the bank.

Some of the best times to book flights to China

Book your tickets to China to travel between April and June or September and November for the most pleasant temperatures. With the mercury hovering between 20°C to 25°C, it’s one of the best times to explore thriving cities, like Beijing, and areas of natural beauty, such as Hangzhou‘s West Lake. During these months, you’ll also experience milder temperatures in the tech hubs of Shenzhen and Shanghai. If you’re considering traveling during the winter, particularly around Chinese New Year, make sure you book months before your departure date. This is peak travel season for China flight bookings and planes get booked up well in advance.

Find cheap flights to China

Some of the cheapest flights to China can be found when you book early. At least 3 months in advance is the general rule of thumb. It’s also a good idea to check different dates, and remember fares may be cheaper on weekdays than on weekends. Expanding your search to include alternative airports, both in Canada and China, is another way to find China cheap flights. Expedia’s search wizard makes it easier than ever to compare the best deals in one place. Play around with handy filters to narrow down your options. You could also save on travel costs by packaging together your flights and accommodation.

Getting around in China

When you fly to China, high-speed trains are a fast and efficient way to travel between major cities. In bustling metropolises like Beijing and Shanghai, metros and taxis are readily available. The Great Wall of China is a 90-minute drive from Beijing, and taking an organized tour is recommended. Due to the country’s vast size, domestic China flights are your best bet for travelling between cities, although high-speed trains are also available. Travelling from Shenzhen to Hong Kong is straightforward with the option of a ferry, bus, or train.

Must-visit attractions in China

Book your tickets to China and start your Far East adventure in Beijing, the nation’s majestic capital. This bustling city is awash with imperial landmarks, including the awe-inspiring Forbidden City. Stroll through the historic hutongs, the city’s famous winding alleys, before indulging in a traditional Peking duck for dinner. The Great Wall of China, one of the Seven Wonders of the World, is a short day trip away.

Venture further afield to the traditional city of Xi’an, home to the world-famous Terracotta Army. The Zhangjiajie National Forest Park promises an out-of-this-world experience thanks to its towering, pillar-like rock formations and deep ravines. Another area of outstanding natural beauty is rural Guilin. Here you’ll encounter rolling green mountains, winding rivers, and jagged underground caves.

For a taste of modernity, the cosmopolitan hub of Shanghai is known for its futuristic skylines and neon lights. Take a leisurely stroll down the city’s iconic Bund. This waterfront promenade is lined with historic colonial buildings and boasts panoramic views of Lujiazui, Shanghai’s glitzy financial district. Cross the river and climb the space-like Oriental Pearl Tower for a spectacular bird’s eye view of the city. A short train ride away from Shanghai, the ancient city of Suzhou, with its ornate gardens, is spread across waterways and canals. If you’re keen on wildlife, don’t miss Chengdu‘s panda conservation centers.

Tips for travelling in China

If you hold a Canadian passport, you’ll need to get a visa to fly to China. The process can take around a month or more, so it’s wise to leave enough time to apply before travelling. Requirements can change, but you’ll usually need to present your return China plane tickets and itinerary with hotel bookings. Be sure to respect local customs—modest dressing is appreciated, while a nod or a bow is a customary greeting. Learning a few basic Mandarin phrases will go down well with locals, especially in rural areas where English isn’t widely spoken.
