China

From Great Walls to neon nights, April to May or September to October balances seasons and splendor

1 spots1 speciesOctober
The best time to visit China is between April and October, when Great Wall vistas and silk cities bloom in mild, colorful splendor. With temperatures ranging from 15°C to 25°C, this period is perfect for walking the Great Wall, exploring Beijing’s Forbidden City, or wandering Shanghai’s modern skyline. Spring and fall enhance scenic beauty. For a cheaper or less crowded visit, try late March or early November, avoiding peak holiday seasons.
