China has vastly different weather depending on the region. The northern reaches are traditionally cooler and drier, the east hotter and more humid, while the southern stretches of the nation experience quite frequent rainfall.
For good weather, the best times of the year to book your visit to China tend to be spring, (April-May), and autumn (September-October). During these months, many of the popular tourist spots enjoy a mild and drier climate – reaching typical highs of 26°C.
Flying to China with Etihad
Beijing (PEK)
Where better to begin your exploration of China than its bustling capital? With a history spanning three millennia, Beijing is famous for its many carefully preserved ancient sites, including the magnificent Forbidden City palace complex. What’s so alluring about Beijing, however, is the unique blend of history and modernity that surrounds you wherever you go.
Shanghai (PVG)
Located on the central coast, Shanghai is China’s largest city and a fantastic place to start your travels. The city is a neon wonder, and the Pudong district’s futuristic skyline glittering over the Huangpu River is a sight to behold. It’s here you’ll find the 128-storey Shanghai Tower – China’s tallest building.
Guangzhou (CAN)
Nestled on the Pearl River, Guangzhou is a bustling city with a rich maritime heritage. Today it’s hugely famous for its sprawling shopping malls, delicious Cantonese cuisine and Huaisheng Mosque – one of China’s earliest mosques.
Reasons to visit China
Magical Jiuzhaigou
This national park has a touch of the fairy-tale about it, bursting with colour and enchantment. A must-see on a visit to the Sichuan province, Jiuzhaigou’s waterfalls are an incredible sight, cascading ice-cold water on to the rocks below. The enormous Five Flower Lake changes colour throughout the year – reflecting the surrounding forests season by season. See lush greens in the summer months and golden hues in autumn.
Discover the Forbidden City
Ancestral home of the Chinese emperors, the mysterious Forbidden City dates back to the 15th century and consists of almost 1,000 ornate buildings. The largest palace complex in the world, it was the emperor’s residence from 1420 to 1912.
The 180 acres of this royal city now form the Palace Museum, a designated UNESCO World Heritage site and one of China’s main tourist attractions. Be sure to visit the sprawling courtyards around the Gate of Supreme Harmony and the throne room in the Palace of Heavenly Purity.
Hike the Great Wall
A hike along the Great Wall of China is at the top of the travel wish list for explorers across the world, and it’s easy to understand why. This world-famous feat of defensive architecture stretches 13,170 miles, snaking through forests, navigating mountains, the Gobi Desert, and expansive grasslands.
These days, many points on the wall are accessible for hiking. Some of the most popular spots are located close to Beijing – Mutianyu is just 45 miles from the city, while Jinshanling is 96 miles away.
