Planning - When to go
China is such a vast country containing so many different climatic zones that there is generally no bad time to visit the country although this does depend on where your trip will be focused.
However, as a general rule, April and May and September and October are the best months and peak times for local tourism.
In this section you can use the links below to browse the major destinations we offer to see the best months to visit. More information can also be found in from our Weather Charts as well as our Seasonal Highlights & Festivals page.
Of course, the best months are also the busiest and it often pays to travel either side of the busiest periods when the crowds are fewer and the weather still has a good chance of being reasonable.
Whatever the time of year you choose to visit China, and most people do choose to travel in the hot summer months, you can be assured of a fascinating, unforgettable experience and a warm welcome.
