Best time to visit China

Spring shoulder season (March to May) brings mild weather to many eastern cities, with average temperatures ranging from about 10°C to 22°C (50°F to 72°F), making it pleasant for sightseeing without peak-season crowds. Summer peak season (June to August) is warm to hot, especially in cities like Shanghai, Guangzhou, and Shenzhen, where temperatures can reach 26°C to 32°C (79°F to 90°F), and this is when many domestic travellers also take holidays. Autumn shoulder season (September to early November) offers comfortable conditions again, with typical temperatures around 12°C to 24°C (54°F to 75°F), clearer skies in many regions, and a calmer feel than the peak months. Winter low season (late November to February) can be cold in northern cities such as Beijing and Chengdu, with temperatures from about -5°C to 8°C (23°F to 46°F), while southern coastal cities are cooler but more moderate.
