Why Travel in Early Summer?
Great weather: Early summer is not the rainiest period for many tourist destinations. The weather is warm, but not at its hottest.
Avoid peak season crowds: Chinese tourist peak periods are the May Day holiday (May 1–3), summer holiday (July and August), and China’s National Day holiday (October 1–7).
Enjoy cost-efficient travel: The price of hotels and entrance tickets is lower than in the peak season.
The best natural scenery of the year: Most tourist attractions enjoy their most beautiful natural scenery in early summer. The early summer rains bring out the freshest colors of summer. Post-rain coils of clouds can enhance the scenery of mountain areas like Guilin, which enjoys its wettest spell.
