Typically, April, May, September, and October offer the most comfortable weather across many popular tourist destinations in China. Spring brings warmth, blooming flowers, and lively nature, while autumn features clear skies and vibrant foliage. These seasons are ideal for travel and outdoor activities, with mild temperatures and little rain.

If you want to enjoy pleasant weather and avoid crowds, consider traveling in mid-to-late May or mid-to-late October.

If you’re looking for the cheapest time to go to China, consider traveling from November to March. This off-season period offers less crowded attractions and better prices.

For a balance of good weather and affordability, March and November are particularly smart choices.
