What is the best time to travel to China?

April, May, September and October are the best months to travel to China, as China is most tourism-friendly in spring and autumn. However, the historical and cultural destinations like Beijing, Xian or Shanghai are affected little by the weather condition. Besides, some places have their most beautiful time in winter or summer. For example, the best time to visit Yuanyang Rice Terraces is from November to next March.


Where to go - the most popular destinations among Canadian tourists
