Tips for First Time Travellers to China:


April and May, September and October is the best time to visit China. Places like Xinjiang, which are normally blazing hot in the summer and still a bit too cold in spring, are in perfect season. Same goes for Beijing, Shanghai, Hong Kong and all of the other major tourist cities.

The ancient philosopher Lao Tzu once said of China: “A good traveller has no fixed plans and is not intent on arriving.” What he probably meant was that China has so many distractions, so many attractions, travellers often forget their destination. That’s true even today.

“Travel to slow down time, to get taken in and fall in love with the world”

  1. China has been on my list for a while. It is one of the places though I would love to visit with a local. I think that would give me a much better understanding of the country and how people live there. Great to know what the best times of year are to visit, I will keep that in mind!

  2. China is a very intriguing and fascinating country. There is much more to it than the Great Wall of China. I have been fascinated by the culture and history of China. The forbidden city is a place that appeals to me and I hope to see it some day.

  3. Yes!! China is incredible and September is the best time. I visiting Shaanxi Province in September and got the whole gambit of weather without tons of tourist.

  4. That’s been on my dream list. China has been limited to few attractions only but in reality there is loads to explore here. I hope to see it tomeday
