When planning a China trip, you have to make time to indulge in the popular egg tarts available in Macau.

Take in an aerial view of the Forbidden City

Ensure that Beijing is a part of your China tour packages so that you can take in the views of the Forbidden City from the top. This city covers almost 2.6 million square feet, and has more than 800 buildings; so, it’s impossible to cover the city, on foot, in one day.

On a good day, you will be able to see the Bell and Drum towers, as well.

Go for a hike in Zhangjiajie National Forest Park

If you have seen Avatar, you may find the mountain peaks in the Zhangjiajie National Forest Park familiar. This is because they were the inspiration for most of the landscape art in the movie. These mountains are found in many Chinese paintings as well. The mist and luscious greenery give the park a mystical feel, which is absolutely gorgeous. There are accommodations for all kinds of visitors, with various levels of mobility and fitness. There is a Bailong Elevator too, which is 1,070-foot-high glass elevator that is built into the side of the cliff.

Indulge in a Delicious Hot Pot

If your holiday plan includes a trip to Chengdu, then you have to try out the local cuisine as it bursts with spicy flavors of peppercorns and chillies.

Shop at Kashgar’s Sunday Market

These markets are divided into two parts, and they are six miles apart.

Climb the Great Wall

If you are visiting China for the first time, then you have to climb the Great Wall. This historic site in the Middle Kingdom goes on for 13,000 km. The wall has been destroyed and rebuilt for over a thousand years, and dates back to the Ming Dynasty. Mutianyu is a good middle ground because it’s less crowded, not sterile but restored, the climb can be strenuous, but there are cable cars to take you to the top as well. A helpful tip would be to carry food, and if not, you can visit some excellent restaurants that are run by schoolhouses at Mutianyu.

Savour the taste of Peking duck

Another thing you must do when visiting Beijing, while on your China trip, is try out the infamous Peking duck dish. The reason this food item is so popular is that it was part of the imperial court’s menu, and now only a handful of restaurants can replicate this item. When you sit down for a Peking Duck meal, the meat is carved table side while the chef marinades it with sauces and spices. It’s served crispy and golden, with a side of thin pancakes and sliced vegetables. You will have to roll the meat and vegetables in the pancake, for a bite.

Best time to visit China

It can be tricky to understand the best time to visit China because it’s a vast country with diverse weather conditions and topography. One of the best ways to decide when to visit China is dividing the country into regions and seasons.

Spring happens to be the best time to visit most locations all over the country. Places in the north may still be chilly during early spring, but it’s bearable. April to June are the ideal months to visit China; these are the spring and summer months. You may want to stick to the Northern part of China during the summer months because the Southern parts tend to get unbearably hot and humid.

However, April to August can also witness rainy weather in some parts of the country, so you should monitor the weather before making any plans to visit China, especially if you want to avoid flight delays/cancellations.
