Best Time to Visit China

Overall best seasons are spring (March–May) and autumn (September–November) for comfortable temperatures and clearer skies. Summer is great for alpine and coastal escapes; winter offers fewer crowds and festive atmospheres in major cities.

For Great Wall hiking, choose shoulder seasons. For Guilin/Yangshuo scenery, late spring and autumn offer excellent visibility.
