Climate Preference
China is an enormous country and the climates in different areas are complicated. Therefore, a decision about the best time to visit should be based on which places you wish to visit, what type of weather you enjoy, and how much a bargain you want.
Normally, the best time to visit China is either autumn or spring. During that period, temperatures are reasonable throughout China (10°C – 22°C) with a limited amount of rain.
Summer (from June to the end of August) can be extremely hot with temperatures above 22°C. Summer is also the rainy season, so despite the heat, wet days can be expected during this period. Winter can be incredibly cold especially in the north.
The following is a reference for the best time to visit some areas:
East China (including the provinces of Fujian, Jiangsu, Jiangxi, Shandong and Zhejiang and the municipality of Shanghai): March to April; October to November
Southwest China (including the municipality of Chongqing, provinces of Sichuan, Yunnan and Guizhou): May to September
Tibet Autonomous Region: May to October
Just regardless the time of the year, believe that you will always be rewarded with charming scenery throughout China.
High Season & Low Season
High seasons in China:
Labor Day (May 1, 3 days duration)
National Day (October 1, 7 days duration)
School Holidays: Summer holiday (July-September) and Winter holiday (January-February)
During high season, the prices will be even higher than usual and the tickets for trains, planes, as well as accommodations at hotels are hard to obtain. Therefore, low seasons would be a better choice. Compared with high seasons, travelling in low seasons will be a good way to save money and time.
Festival Preference
