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 你 to sound a bit more general and banner-like, for example on signs or posts, but including 你 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!)
