The largest trade fair of China – Canton Fair – is held twice a year, separately lies in the Weeks from Mid-April to Early May and Mid-October to Early November. For sightseeing tourists, it is better to book hotel in advance or even avoid this period to travel to Guangzhou since the high hotel rate and the urgent hotel room supplement.
Spring (March to May) in Guangzhou is wet. Rainy days possess lots of this period, and May will be the high rainfall period. During this time, warm but wet days may let your Guangzhou tour with a not very good mood. But the spring of Guangzhou is recommended to go with the colourful flowers in this city.
The summer (May to September) in Guangzhou can be lasted for 5 months, and the hottest months are July and August. Generally, we suggested avoiding travelling to Guangzhou in this time although it is the peak travel time for domestic travellers. Typhoon and thunderstorms often visit this city.
Autumn in Guangzhou (Late Sep - Dec) will be the best time for tourists because of the sunny and cool days. Plan your Guangzhou tour in this moment, you can go to any where you want to visit without too anxious about the climate.
The winter (Dec to Mar) is a little cold but short, and sweaters are enough for this time. Even though climate is mild in Guangzhou, the sun light is pretty great, so it is suggested to make good preparation for sunburn prevention. The wintertime in Guangdong, quite different from the northern part of China, is actually a sea of flowers. It is a great time for the flower-lovers to see.
