Chinese Adventures in China (Template:Lang-fr) is a 1965 French adventure comedy film starring Jean Paul Belmondo and Ursula Andress. It was directed by Philippe de Broca and written by Daniel Boulanger, loosely based on the 1879 novel Tribulations of a Chinaman in China by Jules Verne.

The film notably includes not just footage of China, but also in a previous section several minutes of footage of the Taj Mahal and Agra area in 1965 (notice how much whiter the Taj Mahal appears than in recent decades), and about 15 minutes of footage of the central area of Kathmandu, Nepal, the nearby Swayambunath hillside temple, and more rural mountain areas of Nepal with the impressive Himalaya mountains as backdrop.

Reception

It was the tenth most popular film of 1965 in France, after The Sucker, Goldfinger, Thunderball, Gendarme in New York, Mary Poppins, Fantomas Unleashed, God's Thunder, The Wise Guys and Viva Maria!. ^[2]
