Normally, the most comfortable season of the year is early autumn (September to early October). During that period, temperatures are reasonable throughout China (about 50-72F) with a limited amount of rain. September for example is the only month in the year when the ancient and valuable paintings of the Beijing Palace Museum are displayed due to proper climate conditions (low humidity and proper temperature). Spring can also be delightful with the average temperatures roughly the same as in autumn (about 50-72F). The best way to deal with weather unpredictability is to wear layered clothing that will make you comfortable with both chilly and warmer weather. Summer (from June to the end of August) can be extremely hot with temperatures well above 72F, especially in the famous 'four furnaces' of China: Wuhan, Tianjing, Chongqing and Nanchang. Summer is also the rainy season, so travelers should not forget umbrellas, light raincoats and rubber/plastic shoes. Winter can be incredibly cold especially in the north. Off season travel can also offer its rewards. For example the Harbin Winter Ice Lantern Festival is quite charming. Before deciding when to take a tour, it is worth checking carefully the weather conditions of each city on the itinerary. Needless to say that the most attractive seasons to visit are also the most crowded. Regardless the time of the year, a visitor will always be rewarded with charming scenery throughout China.

However, I would recommend to book china tour through a popular and reliable local agency. Besides planning the entire tour in professional way, this source will provide various local info also. --- luxury resorts http://travel.justlu-xe.com/ Reply    Reply with quote    Contact shubh   shubh Joined: Mar 09 Points: 166 Posts: 36 Posted: 2009-03-19 04:13:00    I support the view that off season travel can also offer its rewards in China as many are preferring to travel during slightly dull season because of constraint budgets. . travel.justluxe adviser --- luxury resorts http://travel.justlu-xe.com/ Reply    Reply with quote    Contact shubh
