All Months
April through June brings perfect weather and blooming scholar trees lining the streets. Temperatures hover around 20°C, ideal for wall walks and courtyard exploring. September and October offer crisp air and fewer crowds than summer peak season. The Mid-Autumn Festival in September lights up the city with traditional performances. Avoid July and August - temperatures hit 35°C and tour groups pack every temple. Winter drops to -10°C, but snow on ancient rooftops creates stunning photos, and hotel prices plummet to ¥100 per night. Chinese New Year transforms the city with red lanterns and fireworks, though many restaurants close for the holiday.
