Best time to visit Beijing

There is no ideal time to visit Beijing, but if forced to choose, consider planning your vacation between September and October, as this is the time when the weather is most pleasant (cool during the evening and warm, dry and sunny with clear skies during the day). During the months between July and August, the temperatures can exceed 40°C. Peak seasons coincide with popular Chinese holidays, festivals or events, such as the Chinese New Year which takes place during spring. Chinese New Year is a great time to visit the city - it is said to be an experience of a lifetime. Travellers can expect goods to be slightly overpriced and the city becomes crowded, as this is one of China’s biggest festivals.
