China is an epic country. From the high rises of Shanghai to the mystical mountains in Lijiang, China is a country of many different faces with so much to explore.
Whether it’s the Great Wall or the Terracotta Army that you’re visiting for, the best time to visit China is generally during the two shoulder seasons.
The first runs from February to April and sees beautiful spring blossoms and cool temperatures. The autumn season from September to October brings temperate weather and wonderfully colourful foliage.
As China is such a huge country, the seasons vary considerably depending on where exactly in China you’re visiting. From snow to sweltering heat, China experiences virtually all weather conditions found across the rest of the globe. Read on to find out which time of year is best for the part of China that you plan to visit.
China’s winter runs from November to February, making these biting months the country’s low season. During these months, the weather is bitterly cold both in the north and at altitude and is only slightly less cold in the far south. Although places like Beijing, Pingyao and Harbin (who even has its own spectacular winter ice festival) look wonderfully scenic under a blanket of snow, average daily high temperatures across the country are around 8 degrees. The north is unlikely to see anything above zero. Although the weather is near freezing, travellers who visit at this time of year can take advantage of fewer crowds. In general though, it’s not a great time of the year to visit northern China.
