Compare seasons by region instead of relying on one nationwide weather rule.
China covers several climate zones, so the best month depends on the route. Spring and autumn often suit classic city combinations, while summer can work well for highland landscapes and family school holidays. Winter brings lower demand in many cities and strong seasonal reasons to visit the north.
