When to go

When it comes to meteorology, most of China is extreme. Avoid the summer months (May to end of September) if you don't get along with the merciless heat and the crowds of Chinese visiting the tourist places of your country while on vacation. Avoid the winter months (November to the end of February) if you don't get along with biting cold – except for Hong Kong and Hainan – but favor these months if you don't have a problem with the cold and prefer to avoid crowds in the places you visit. That said, in general, the best times to visit the country are considered Spring (March to May) and Autumn (September to early November).
