China as a distinct geographical entity has been mentioned in Hindu Scriptures since a long time. China had been called Cina in Mahabharat for example. Interestingly, people from Cina came along with the Kiratas (people from modern day Nepal) to join the Army of Bhagadatta of Pragjyotisa or modern day Assam.
Later on, when the Pandavas go to the Himalayas after the war, they go all the way near Badrinath and cross over into the land of Cina via the kingdom of Kirata king Subahu.
This interaction between Indian and the Chinese people has gone on for a long time since then. The flow of Spirituality and even philosophy happened during these years as well.
Some say that the impact of the concept of Yakshas and the Hanuman (in the Chinese character Sun Wukong) is very visible in many Chinese folk lores.
But interestingly it was in the the last millennia that the Hindus went over in China and created temples, which have stood all these years and still being used in some cases.
