AAAAA-rated tourist attractions of the People's Republic of China

Tourist attractions or scenic areas rated as AAAAA (5A) are the most important and best-maintained tourist attractions in the People's Republic of China, given the highest level of the China National Tourism Administration's rating categories.

Initially, 66 locations were approved out of 106 nominations. Additional locations have been added to the list irregularly and a few locations have been delisted from the highest rating category for deficiencies in visitor experience. As of late 2017, there are 249 official AAAAA tourist attractions in China.

Tourist sites found deficient by the China National Tourism Administration (merged into the Ministry of Culture and Tourism in 2018) have lost their 5A accreditation due to deficiencies in visitor experience. In 2015, Shanhai Pass in Hebei was the first tourist site to be delisted from 5A. The next wave of delisting occurred in 2016 with the removal of Orange Isle in Hunan and Shenlong Gorge in Chongqing for "security concerns, overpricing, poor environmental management and poor facility maintenance, as well as bad service mainly resulting from a lack of staff members."
