The best time to visit Beijing is during spring and autumn: April and May, and September to early November – so avoiding the heat and rains of summer, as well as the cold of winter.
At these times the many tourist attractions are less crowded while it’s warm and dry, with an average temperature of 23°C (73°F). Early summer is also a good time to visit Beijing.
Source: Meteorological data for Beijing is based on weather statistics gathered for the 30-year period 1992 to 2021 by the China Meteorological Administration at the closest weather station: Beijing Capital International Airport (BCIA), also called Capital Airport or Beijing Airport, located 32km (20mi) northeast of Beijing.
Advice on the best time to visit a particular destination is based on average local weather statistics, when the weather conditions are generally better than at other times of the year. We consider high and low temperatures, risk of rain (and thunderstorms, etc.), amount of sunshine and sea temperature. For general outdoor activities we favour clear, rainless days with a temperature range between 18°C (64°F) and 27°C (80°F); and for hot-weather activities we favour clear, rainless days with a temperature range between 24°C (75°F) and 32°C (89°F). Often, the best times to visit correspond to high season and therefore involve higher prices.
