Planning a week-long trip to China can feel overwhelming, but a well-designed “7 days China travel highlights map” is your secret weapon.

On day three, take a bullet train to Xi’an (just 4.5 hours) to see the Terracotta Warriors. That’s three major highlights packed efficiently. Don’t try to add more cities; quality beats quantity.
