March to May
Offering warm and pleasant weather, springtime is one of the best times to visit China. Rolling landscapes burst into life with vibrant blooming flowers, making it an ideal time for outdoor activities including wandering the pristine gardens of Beijing or walking a section of the Great Wall.
June to August
Summer in China brings warm temperatures and abundant sunshine, enlivening its cities, landscapes, and rich traditions. It’s a rewarding time to explore Beijing, which can be milder than southern regions, and to experience colourful seasonal celebrations such as the Dragon Boat Festival, one of China’s most cherished traditional holidays.
September to November
Autumn in China blankets the landscape in breathtaking kaleidoscopic hues of ochre, gold and crimson as seasonal foliage arrives. Comfortable temperatures and reduced rainfall make it an ideal time for outdoor exploration. Indulge in seasonal delicacies such as hairy crab and experience the lively celebrations of the Mid-Autumn Festival.
December to February
Just as beautiful in winter, China offers a wealth of diverse experiences. The south enjoys subtropical temperatures, ideal for beach escapes and exploring unique landmarks, while the north, transforms into breathtaking winter wonderlands, with skiing opportunities and misty lakes to admire. Don’t miss the chance to savour a warming Mongolian hotpot.
Dining in China is a cultural journey, with meals often shared around a central table. Its vast regions offer eight major culinary traditions, from Sichuan’s bold, spicy flavours to Cantonese dim sum, Shandong’s hearty dishes, and Fujian’s delicate, umami-rich creations. Sample fiery hotpots in Chongqing, subtle sweet dishes in Jiangsu, or fresh seafood along the coast – each region brings its own flavours, techniques, and traditions, making every meal a memorable experience.
Shopping in China is as much about the experience as the items themselves. Wander through bustling street markets, vibrant night bazaars, and modern malls to discover jade, silk, ceramics, tea, and unique souvenirs. Explore local fashion, quirky finds, and artisanal crafts, while soaking up the energy of the streets. With lively bargaining, colourful stalls, and a glimpse into everyday life, shopping in China offers an immersive, unforgettable way to connect with the culture.
China’s festivals and traditions offer a vibrant window into its rich culture. From the dazzling Lantern Festival and dragon boat races of the Dragon Boat Festival to the family-centred celebrations of Chinese New Year and the moonlit Mid-Autumn Festival, each event is brimming with colour, music, and ritual. Experience centuries-old customs, traditional performances, and regional variations that bring communities together, creating unforgettable moments that showcase the heart and heritage of this fascinating country.
China offers remarkable diversity, from ancient cultural treasures to dramatic natural scenery. The Great Wall and Beijing’s Forbidden City reveal imperial history, while Xi’an’s Terracotta Army captivates. Modern Shanghai showcases economic vitality, and beyond the cities lie Guilin’s karst mountains and the serene jade waters of the Yangtze River.
The epitome of exotic glamour, Shanghai blends historic charm with striking modernity. From the traditional temples and architecture of the Old City to the soaring Shanghai Tower, the city is rich with contrasts. Browse pop-up boutiques for antiques, ceramics and jewellery, then, as night falls, enjoy a vibrant dining scene full of enticing cuisine.
The seat of power of Chinese dynasties and the last stop for those following the enigmatic Silk Road, Xi’an is rich in historical heritage. Once known as Chang’an (Eternal Peace), Xi’an is one of China’s most popular tourist destinations and boasts an array of awe-inspiring landmarks. Admire the striking colours adorning the Bell Tower, built in 1384 or lose yourself in the charming Muslim Quarter.
China’s dynamic capital is home to some of the country’s best-known heritage sights and its political hub. You’ll find the ancient and the futuristic rubbing shoulders in its energetic streets, from elaborate old temples to soaring skyscrapers. Away from the bustle you’ll find the spectacular Beihai Park, it is among the largest of gardens across China and boasts a wealth of historical structures, palaces and temples.
Shaped by British rule from the 1800s to the 1930s, Hong Kong blends colonial influence with deep-rooted Chinese heritage to create a truly distinctive city. Explore the lively Stanley Market for hidden treasures, take in sweeping harbour views from Victoria Park, or discover Kowloon’s vast choice of bars, pubs and restaurants, offering endless ways to experience the city’s energy.
