To say “welcome to China” in Mandarin, the most natural and commonly used phrase is:

欢迎来中国
Huān yíng lái Zhōngguó

Here’s a quick breakdown:

  • 欢迎 (huān yíng) = welcome
  • 来 (lái) = come
  • 中国 (Zhōngguó) = China

So you’re literally saying: “Welcome (to) come to China.” If you want to warmly welcome someone who has just arrived in China, you can also say:

欢迎你来中国
Huān yíng nǐ lái Zhōngguó
“Welcome (you) to China.”

Or in a very polite/formal way (for guests, clients, delegations):

欢迎您来中国
Huān yíng nín lái Zhōngguó
“Welcome to China” (using the polite “you”).
