I have been to China two times, the first time was to Beijing. The second time to Shanghai.

Anything wrong with the sentence?

Thanks

Very good, except you probably would want to seperate the second part of the first sentence and stick it into the second sentence and it is also possible to use "I've" in the place of "I have" although both are correct grammatically. The resulting sentence is as follows with just a few minor corrections.

"I've been to China two times. The first visit was to Beijing and the second visit was to Shanghai."

Hope that helps, the corrections are mainly just a matter of helping the flow of the sentences.

Also you can say twice for two times.
