Romantic getaways in China
These are the most romantic places to visit in China.
The Wuyi mountains
If you want to retreat to an area of outstanding natural beauty, the Wuyi mountains are for you. They are made up of eroded volcanic cones and imposing sandstone peaks, surrounded by verdant tropical forests. Walls of sprouting bamboo surround the pathways and the winding Nine Bend River flows through the range.
Take a trip on a raft for spectacular views of the scenery and, if you are feeling adventurous, you and your partner can sample some local delicacies such as snake, muntjac deer and bamboo shoots!

Sanya
Sanya sports some of the best beaches in China. The region is full of beautiful bays with pristine white sands and luxury hotels. For the full honeymoon treatment you can relax in a local spa and enjoy traditional Chinese body treatments and massages. There are also Buddhist temples dotted around yhe stunning tropical gardens and the mischievous Macaques which make Monkey Island their home.
The Sanya region is famous for its seafood, caught fresh on the coastline. In many places you can choose your dinner from the live fish-tank out front!
Shangri-La
Shangri-La is an idyllic Himalayan kingdom and a popular gateway to other magnificent sites. You can explore the humbling Ganden Sumtseling Monastery, gushing Tiger Leaping Gorge or the natural phenomenon of Xiagei Hot Springs. After a day spent exploring the Chinese wilderness with your loved one, you can treat yourself to a session of pampering and relaxation in a beautiful Tibetan-style retreat. For a truly special experience, book yourself on a Highland Romance excursion on horseback and indulge in a four-course dinner on the banks of the Shudugang River while you are entertained with traditional Tibetan song and dance.
If you are interested in a Tibet tour rather than visiting China for a romantic getaway, then you can easily get across to this beautiful and untouched world.
The Forbidden City
During your romantic getaway to China you have to stop off and explore The Forbidden City in Beijing.
It is the world’s largest palace complex with its magnificent maze of 8,700 rooms, surrounded by a 10 meter high wall and a 52 meter wide moat! Built in the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644) it was the exclusive residence of powerful Chinese emperors over the centuries, which is now preserved as a museum open to the public.
The Forbidden City was actually where the popular delicacy Peking Duck was invented. So make sure you treat yourselves to an authentic royal meal when you have finished exploring the lavish palatial grounds!
