Keputusan
Musim semi vs musim gugur — kapan waktu terbaik mengunjungi China?
Anda memilih antara April-Mei dan September-Oktober untuk cuaca terbaik.
Rekomendasi
Musim gugur untuk hampir seluruh China jika Anda menghindari Golden Week. Musim semi unggul untuk wilayah selatan dan traveler dengan anggaran terbatas yang dapat melewati periode badai pasir Beijing.
The options
| Option | Best for | Tradeoff |
|---|---|---|
| Musim Gugur (Sep–Okt) | Sebagian besar wilayah China — udara sejuk, langit cerah, festival panen, suhu nyaman 15–25°C. | National Day Golden Week (1–7 Oktober) membawa lonjakan besar wisatawan domestik dan kenaikan harga. |
| Musim Semi (Apr–Mei) | China selatan bermekaran, lebih sedikit keramaian dibanding musim gugur, harga lebih terjangkau. | Badai pasir di Beijing (Maret–Mei); lembap dan hujan di wilayah selatan menjelang akhir Mei. |
The verdict
Musim gugur untuk hampir seluruh China jika Anda menghindari Golden Week. Musim semi unggul untuk wilayah selatan dan traveler dengan anggaran terbatas yang dapat melewati periode badai pasir Beijing.

Other Destinations decisions
Should I visit Beijing or Shanghai first?
Pick Beijing for a first trip with ≤7 days; pick Shanghai for repeat visits or food-focused trips.

Yes if you have 3+ extra days and care about food or animals; skip only if you're under time pressure.
Is Xi'an worth visiting on a 7-day trip?
Include Xi'an for 2 days if it's your first China trip — the Warriors and the city wall are unmatched.
