Someone taught me a game that they remember playing many years before. They drew the board from memory, it looks mostly like this:
_____________
| __________ |
| |E| | | |
| | | | | | | |
| | |<| |<| | |
| | | | | | | |
|S|___|___|___|
Each player began at the start (S), took turns to roll the dice and move, to see who could read the end (E) first. In some places, there were shortcuts (<) allowing players to move ahead more quickly.
There is a classic game in Spain called "El juego de la Oca", which in english is known as the "Game of The Goose". There are thousands of variants for the board (including bridges, ladders etc.), so maybe you saw a Chinese version
I remember playing it when I was young. Here is wikipedia entry for it. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snakes_and_Ladders
