There are simply so many places to see in China!
No matter what you like, I would suggest Beijing and Xi'an, simply because you can't go to China without seeing the Great Wall (in Beijing), and the Terra Cotta Warrior (in Xi'an). They are truly the signature landmarks in China and well worth the reputation!
If you are up to some adventure, then go to Chengdu. It is close to the Wulong Panda Reserve, where you can really hike into the woods to see the Giant Panda, and even feed them! Close to Chengdu, you can touch the "Roof of the World" - Tibet! You can visit the Holy City, Lhasa at the foothills of Mt Everest.
If you are up to the history and unique scenery, then go west to the Silk Road! You can start from Xi'an, the starting point of the Ancient Silk Road, and follow the footsteps of the ancient caravans deep into the Gobi Desert! You will see the amazing Mogao Grottoes in Dunhuang with the oldest Buddhist Shrines in China and the most extensive and exquisite collections of Buddhist paintings and sculptures in the world! When you arrive in Urumuqi, you will really be surprised by its exotic architecture, extraordinary landscape and the local Uygur people.
If you are up to the dynamic culture and local people, then go to the southwest China. Kunming is famous for its diverse minorities, their vibrant life and colorful traditions. Kunming is also called "Spring City" since it has really mild pleasant weather all year long. Try the spring time to enjoy Kunming at her best time, they have all kinds of minority festivals! If you have time, complete the Shangri-la trip with Dali and LIjiang. Old town Lijiang is really a gem with over 800 years history and original look of its peaceful atmosphere.
There are simply too many options to choose from, it just depends when you are going and what is your cup of tea!

Great Walls of China is a popular tourist site! It was built in the 1400s & 1500s by the Ming Dynasty. This stone wall was designed to defend China from invaders!
The Limestone Pinnacles near Guilin has spectacular view usually seen by foreigners by riding a boat. It is in the Southern part of China.
Huang He or Yellow River is the 2nd largest river in the world.
Beijing is the capital of China where bicycles & buses are usually used by the people on rush hour.
You should see the Temple of Heaven. It is located about 5 kilometers south of the Forbidden City in Beijing , is China's most famous shrine. You should see its nice architecture.

China is very big and there is a lot to see. Most of the really big attractions are in Beijing and most of the classic chinese towns and scenery is near (but not in) Shanghai. I recommend the following, something modern..Pudong in Shanghai is a good place to start. Natural scenery...Yellow Mountain (huang shan) is pretty good to visit, not far from shanghai. Somewhere traditional...try one of the canal towns near Shanghai.. my shanghai friend recommends Tongli over other towns, but Wuzhen is also nice. Something impressive...The terracotta warriors, the great wall, or many of the sites in Beijing

Depending on the type of interest that you have...
China is a huge country with contrasting landscape and cultures, so there is actually no best place to visit.

Beijing : for historical reasons. There are still a lot of places that have been preserved.
Xian : or it's famous Soldiers
Shanghai : if you like shopping. Personnaly I don't like this town. It is not Chinese anymore but more a western city with building everywhere.
Nanjing : for it's historical sites about the war with the Japanese.

Dalian. No question. HK, Shanghai, and Beijing are all tourist traps, and very expensive. Dalian is a little cheaper, much classier, and much prettier - the Hong Kong of the north.
