Mr Sogavare has so far met with government officials and the chairs of two major state-owned enterprises in Beijing.
The prime minister also laid a wreath at the Tiananmen Square monument.
Last month, the Solomons controversially switched its diplomatic recognition to Beijing, ending a long association with Taiwan.
A release from Mr Sogavare's office said he was scheduled to meet Chinese President Xi Jinping and sign several agreements, including education, economics and technical cooperation and foreign affairs.
