China Train Travel Guide 2026: Routes, Tickets & Tips

Best Time to Visit Beijing
Winter 2026/2027
Winter in Beijing is cold, dry and defined by clear skies and brisk air. Average lows in January dip into the −4 °C range (or colder outside the city core), and highs remain modest. Snowfall is relatively rare and the season remains rather dry given the absence of monsoon influence. The chill can bite, but in return you get crisp air and fewer crowds at major sites. Visiting the Forbidden City, the Temple of Heaven or the Great Wall under a pale winter sky gives a quieter, almost austere grandeur. For winter thrill seekers, heading out to the sections of the Great Wall near forest or high ground brings the chance of frost-touched stone and serene vistas. Indoors, one can warm up with hearty northern-style fare and explore Beijing’s museums with ease.

Spring 2026
As the chill of winter retreats, Beijing enters spring with rapidly rising temperatures and a notably dry, breezy atmosphere. Early on, daytime highs hover around 3 °C to 13 °C and by late spring can rise toward 20 °C or more. Occasional sand-storms sweep in from the Gobi, and the air remains somewhat crisp and variable. Despite the dry beginnings, the season brings delicate blooms and renewed energy: picture strolling through Yuyuantan Park amid thousands of cherry-blossom trees, or visiting the grand gardens of the Summer Palace where magnolias and crabapples awaken. The historic axis of the city - via the Forbidden City and Temple of Heaven - glows under soft spring light, offering memorable excursions before the heat of summer sets in. This season provides mild weather for exploring hutongs, cycling around lakes, and picnicking among blossoms.

Summer 2026
Summer in Beijing brings the full force of its continental-monsoon climate: daytime temperatures routinely climb above 30 °C, with humidity rising and frequent rainfall concentrated in June through August. These months account for roughly 70-80% of the annual precipitation, making afternoon showers or thunderstorms a common occurrence. While the heat and rain might challenge comfort, summer also offers vibrant activity. The Great Wall of China at sections such as Mutianyu or Badaling provides lush green vistas, the lakes around the Summer Palace are alive, and evening street-food markets around the Hutongs hum with life. Visiting early in the morning can help you beat the crowds and make the most of clearer air. If you are comfortable with warmth and willing to adapt to bursts of rain, this is a lively period to immerse yourself in Beijing’s rhythm.

Autumn 2026
Autumn is widely regarded as the best season to visit Beijing - cooler temperatures, crisp air, and stunning foliage combine for near-ideal travel conditions. Daytime temperatures often sit between 10 °C and 20 °C, humidity drops significantly, and skies tend to be clear. The countryside and the hills around the city, such as those at the Fragrant Hills in the Fragrant Hills Park or the forested sections near the Great Wall, turn golden and red as maples and smoke-trees blaze. Sites like the Badaling stretch of the Great Wall host dedicated “red-leaf” routes that wind through fiery foliage. Inside the city, leisurely walks around the hutongs or a peaceful visit to the Summer Palace take on a new charm as ginkgo and maple leaves fall around you. With fewer rain interruptions than summer and a comfortable climate for hiking or temple visits, autumn offers both beauty and practicality - ideal for capturing classic views of Beijing at its most photogenic.

I loved the variety of cities—Shanghai’s modern skyline, Luoyang’s Longmen Caves, and Xi’an’s Terracotta Army were all unforgettable. Transportation and hotel check-ins were smooth, and meals included were better than expected.
