When is the best time to visit China?
Deciding when to visit China depends on which places you wish to visit, what type of weather you enjoy, and how much a bargain you want. Remember that China is a huge country with many different climates and types of terrain. Think of it in terms of United States, which China resembles in size and shape. Traveling along the Golden Route (Beijing, Xian, Shanghai, Guilin) is like visiting Philadelphia, Knoxville, and Southern Florida all in one trip. May, September and October are the peak tourist months at China's most popular destinations when the weather is most comfortable. Prices drop a bit in the shoulder season, which runs from late March through April and from June through August. The offseason arrives in late November, and continues through the winter when crowds are few and prices lower.

How can I choose a suitable tour package?
When you scan the different information offered by different travel agencies, you will find some of them offer better service with higher pay, some of them offer only serveral service, while with low price. I'd like to remind you to look up the context of the tour package includes, pay attention to the traveling items specificly, otherwise, you may get unsatisfying package.for example, there are many places with the same name, Great Wall in Beijing there are five most famous, they have different feature, be sure to consult the agency first to know exactly which one you would like, of course they are at different price.
