 Beijing Travel Beijing China Tours - Beijing City Overview

Few cities in the world besides Bejing have served as the political and cultural center of an area as immense as China for so long. The Encyclopedia Britannica describes it as, "One of the world's great cities," and declares, "The city has been an integral part of China’s history over the past eight centuries, and nearly every major building of any age in Beijing has at least some national historical significance." Beijing is renowned for its opulent palaces, temples, and huge stone walls and gates. Its art treasures and universities have long made the city a centre of culture and art in China.

  Seasons, Climate, Beijing Weather   Beijing city has four distinct seasons. Beijing's climate is a monsoon-influenced humid continental climate, characterized by hot, humid summers due to the East Asian monsoon, and generally cold, windy, dry winters that reflect the influence of the vast Siberian anticyclone. Average temperatures in January are at around 1 °C or 33°F, while average temperatures in July are around 30°C or 87 °F. The highest temperature ever recorded was 42 °C and the lowest recorded was -27 °C.  Average annual precipitation is around 40cm, mainly in the summer.

The best season for tourist Beijing travel is late spring and early autumn. In the recent years, the early autumn has been considered as the ideal choice for Beijing travel as severe sand storms may swipe Beijing's most areas during the spring seasons. We suggest tourists should arrange their Beijing China travel during the months of May, September and October, when sunshine and blue-sky dominate the city. There is another reason for this Beijing travel arrangement. Traditionally, a variety of high quality new art shows and live performances are presented in Beijing every year in May.  Nevertheless, A Beijing travel in cold winter could enjoy a different type of pretty scene. After skiing in the frozen Beihai lake or sightseeing the snow covered mountains in the west, tourists can enjoy a pot of famous Chinese tea in a nearby tea bar. This might also be a memorable experience of travel in Beijing.
