| The four seasons in Beijing, a northern city, are demarcated with
a long hot summer, long chilly winter, and shorter spring and autumn.
The hottest month is July and the coldest is January. Considering
the frequent sandstorms in spring, September and October with their
pleasant weather are considered the best visiting times.
To visit Beijing in spring or autumn, bring lightweight clothing
such as long-sleeved shirts or T-shirts, plus one or two jackets
and sweaters. The temperature in summer ranges between 30 and 39
centigrade, calling for summer clothes.
A winter journey to Beijing may be a shock to visitors from tropical
countries. Enjoying the snow scene on West Hill, skating in Beihai
Park, followed by a steaming hotpot with mutton slices will drive
out the chills. Be sure to bring winter clothes, including wool
sweaters and down coats.
Spring is rainy season in Beijing, with some rain in summer and
between summer and autumn. Rainstorms may happen without warning
in the afternoon of sunny days. Sometimes even weather forecasters
can predict a shower only one or two hours ahead. Heavy rain may
block traffic; inconveniencing everyone. Remember to pack a raincoat
or umbrella.
Beautiful Beijing presents different features for its clear distinction
of four seasons. To have a better understanding about the characteristics
of different seasons will bring tourists different fresh feeling
by enjoying the special tour of four seasons.
Beijing stages both international and domestic folk activities.
The most remarkable ones are the Temple Fairs during Chinese Lunar
New Year when people perform traditional national art forms such
as the dragon dance, lion dance, acrobatics and martial art.
