Weather Conditions in China
You can travel to China any time of the year. But if you’re looking for the best time to visit China, it simply depends on what you’re looking for in your holiday. In a land where winters can be freezing cold and summers can get boiling hot, the time of your travel matters a lot. Generally, either spring or autumn is the best season to go to China.
But there are places you can enjoy your holidays in summer and winter as well. Summer is a wonderful time to visit north China. The weather is pleasant, and the mountains and valleys are a riot of colours with blooming flowers. This is the best time to visit China for trekking.
If you’re planning your trip in winter, head to the southern parts where you can enjoy China’s beaches blessed by the perfect weather. While most locals prefer to travel during spring and autumn, summer can also be a busy time to travel.
Here’s a look at China’s season-wise weather that will help you decide the best time to travel to China.
Spring is a comfortable time to be in China. The temperatures average between 10 to 23 °C and the weather is just warming up after a cold winter. While the north remains dry, the south gets rainfall as summer approaches. Spring is the best time to visit China to enjoy its natural beauty.
Summer temperatures of China range between 25 to 33 °C and it rains in most parts of the country. This is the best time to go to China for exploring its cities. But if you’re visiting the south-east, the weather may play spoilsport. This is when you should visit Beijing, Shanghai and Xi’an.
Autumn brings round lower temperatures and pleasant weather conditions. The rains retreat, except around Hong Kong, and you can enjoy your sightseeing uninterrupted. This is the best time to visit China for enjoying more outdoor activities.
The cold takes over China in winter and in some places the temperatures drop to 0 °C. If you do not mind the cold, this is the best time to explore China. With the absence of crowds, you can indulge in leisurely explorations and enjoy good prices on your travel and accommodation.
