Hello, I am Mexican , but now I am based in Shanghai and would like to do a 10-14 day trip in China in August. As it is very hot, where would you guys recommend to travel in Mainland China?

Dear Simon,

Thanks for your email.
You are right. August is really hot in China. Summer and Autumn is hot in China, especially at day time. Summer and Autumn is from June to October in China. So where to visit is better and is not influenced by the hot weather?

I am delighted to recommend 3 routes for your reference.
1.Yunnan tour. As you know, Yunnan is in South Western China. Due to the high altitude and special location, the temperature in Yunan province is not too high and not too lower. The capital city of Yunan, Kunming is called “Spring City” as the average temperature in Kunming is just like Spring. Therefore, Yunnan Province is a place which is suitalbe for all-year-round travel. If you have 10-14 days, you could choose to travel from Shanghai to Kunming, then goes the routes as Kunming-Dali-Lijiang-Shangri-la. Going with this tour, you could see beautifual natural view and enjoy the colorful folklore in Yunan Province.

2.Chengdu-Jiuzhaigou Tour. Chengdu is a leisure city. Jiuzhaigou is at high altitude mountanous area. Jiuzhaigou is famous for its wonderful natural view. Jiuzhaigou is called Fairland under Heaven. Since it is in high altitude area and in mountainous area, it is cool there

3.Zhangjiajie Tour. Zhangjiajie National Forest Park is famous for its natural view. The suitalbe traveling time is from April to November. In the mountainous area and in the Forest Park, you will not feel hot in summer.

Besides, there are many places suitalbe for travel in August in China, especially some mountaions.

Hope the above is clear and helpful.

If you have any other question, please do not hesitate to let us know.

Best regards
