The best time to go to China

The best time to head to China is during the months of May, June, July, and August. The temperature during these months ranges from 20°C to 30°C, making it ideal for exploring the various parts of the country. April, September, and October can also be favourable for a visit, but keep in mind that the weather might be slightly unpredictable.

It's a good idea to avoid travelling to China during January, February, and December, as these months experience the harshest weather conditions of the year. You'll find more rain and lower temperatures, which might not be ideal for sightseeing or outdoor activities.
