Can I bulk import the sites along with region using import feature.

Yes. Import the regions first (if they're not already imported), then import the sites.

We have region which has different parent but same child region.

Sorry, I don't understand what you mean.

In the data model, a region has a single parent. A region can have multiple children (all those with their parent equal to this one), but a region cannot be the child of multiple parents.

That is: regions form a tree, not a graph.

You can use SiteGroups as another way to categorise sites: e.g. use Regions for geographical areas and SiteGroups as a functional classification. SiteGroups form their own independent tree.

How can I bulk import Site based on parent region

Each site is linked to one particular region, so you just specify that region as a column in the site import. A site can belong to a region at any level of the tree. Whether that region is also a a child of another region, or a parent of other regions, is irrelevant.
