When to visit China

Choosing the best time to visit China depends on which places you wish to visit, and what type of weather you enjoy. May, September and October are the peak tourist months at China's most popular destinations when the weather is most comfortable, but prices are higher, and everywhere is more crowded. Prices drop a bit in the shoulder season, which runs from late March through April and from June through August.

The low season arrives in late November, and continues through the winter when there are fewer crowds and the prices are lower.. The period from late October to early December is the best time to see fall colors in China, as parts of the country are saturated with fall hues. Chinese New Year 2012 is January 23rd and the festival is celebrated for 15 days, with the official holiday from January 22nd to 28th.

The New Year period is the best time of the year to see cultural activities. If you choose to travel during that period, you are advised to bring along warm clothing, and depending on where you intend to travel (some areas of China are mild by day and frigid by night, while the extreme south can be South-Sea-Island warm), you may find that "layered" clothing (sweaters, jackets with removable linings, windbreakers, etc.) is the best solution.
