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, which is the capital of Tibet, 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 Urumqi, 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. Kunming has all kinds of minority festivals with very dynamic cultures! 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.
And of course, if you love natural scenery, then go to Guilin- the most beautiful city in China! The scenery of Guilin has inspired thousands of Chinese artists over the ages to draw such beautiful paintings! Guilin is the very essence of the classical Chinese landscape paintings; fantastically shaped peaks that are studded with pines and delicate pavilions, partly shrouded in the mist. You will get easily get lost at this peaceful land of Shangri-La!
There are simply too many options to choose from, it just depends when you are going, how long do you plan to stay and what is your cup of tea!

You have to start in Beijing, you can tour the Forbidden City, Tienanmen square, see the Great Wall.
Xi An is the location of the Terra Cotta Warriors.
The Three Gorges.
Realize that China is a large country with a history of over 4,000 years, you can not see it all in one visit unless you stay for a few years.
