    Best Time to Visit China

    It is wise to visit China in September and October thanks to the delightful autumn weather in most parts of the country. If you want a spring outing, May and June are the best months. Actually, as China is a vast country, you can find ideal travel destinations in other months as well. Check the weather forecast before booking China tours from India to ensure you have a great time there.

    If you decide to travel in October, you are advised to avoid the days from Oct. 1 to 7, which witness throngs of tourists everywhere in China. Also be aware not to travel during the Chinese New Year holiday, when many attractions and shops will close.

    Nowadays, mobile payment is the most popular way to pay in China. WeChat Pay and Alipay are widely accepted, even in some countryside areas. However, you still need to prepare some cash for unexpected cases. Foreign currency is not accepted so you need to exchange for some Chinese cash. Chinese Yuan is the official currency, with the standard unit of Yuan. 1 Yuan equals to about 10 rupees. In China, you can exchange money at airports, bank counters, and some four or five star hotels.

    In Beijing, the average temperature of January is -6℃ - 3℃, the weather is cold outside. If you have 7 hours layover time, you only have 4 - 5 hours for a visit, so it is not suggested to go too far. I recommend you to the Ghost Street where you can stroll around and taste some Beijing snacks. You can take the Airport Express at T3 to Dongzhimen, it takes around 45 mins. Upon arrival, walk to Dongzhimen station and take bus no. 107 to Dong Nei Xiao Jie. Then you can walk to the Ghost Street.
