Young Chinese supporters waving Russian and Chinese flags lined the arrival area as a military band and guard of honor welcomed the Russian leader.
Footage also showed Putin walking along a red carpet before departing in a motorcade from the airport.
The visit comes days after US President Donald Trump’s trip to China and marks the 25th anniversary of the China-Russia friendship treaty.
