welcome to china in chinese

The most natural way to say “welcome to China” in Chinese is:

  • 欢迎你来中国。
    Pinyin: Huānyíng nǐ lái Zhōngguó.
    Meaning: “Welcome (you) to come to China.”

You’ll also often hear:

  • 欢迎来中国。 (Huānyíng lái Zhōngguó.) – Slightly shorter, still perfectly natural.
  • 欢迎你到中国来。 (Huānyíng nǐ dào Zhōngguó lái.) – A bit more formal/textbook-style, literally “welcome you to (arrive in) China.”

Mini tips

  • 欢迎 (huānyíng) = welcome.
  • 来中国 / 到中国来 = come to China.
  • You can drop to sound a bit more general and banner-like, for example on signs or posts, but including feels more personal when speaking to someone.

Example mini-dialogue:
A: 你第一次来中国吗?(Is this your first time in China?)
B: 对。
A: 欢迎你来中国!(Welcome to China!)
