Summer in China
Mountain air
wider horizons
Summer in China can feel completely different from one region to another.
In many eastern and southern cities, temperatures can rise above 30°C, while China’s mountains and highlands offer cooler air, dramatic landscapes and refreshing escapes.
The north is generally warmer and drier, while the south and southeast can be more humid with periods of rainfall. At higher elevations, however, summer can be surprisingly cool, making places such as Tibet and Yunnan ideal for travelers looking to escape the heat.
Summer is the season for landscapes. Follow mountain trails, cruise along rivers, explore waterfalls and valleys, or travel into China’s highlands for wide-open skies and dramatic scenery.
