Visit China · Seasonal
The best of China happens at particular times of year. Snow for travellers who have never seen it, festivals when cities light up, and harvests you can take part in.
See China at its best moment: first snow, lantern festivals, spring tea harvest, green summer grasslands. We time it right and book early, before prices rise.

We tell you what is special in China at that time, and what to avoid, such as Golden Week crowds.
Festival dates, harvest windows and ice-festival openings confirmed each year.
Peak-season hotels, trains and tickets secured months ahead, plus warm clothing rental for the snow.
Heated private cars, halal meals and a host on call.

“Our family has never seen snow.”
Harbin's ice and snow festival fills the city with giant ice sculptures, usually from late December to February. Add skiing at Yabuli or the snowy forests of Changbai Mountain.
“We want to see Chinese New Year in China.”
Temple fairs, lanterns and family traditions around the Lunar New Year, usually in late January or February. Transport and hotels book up early, so plan months ahead.
“We want to take part, not just watch.”
Pick and process tea with growers from about March to May in Hangzhou, Fujian or Yunnan.
“Somewhere cool, open and quiet in summer.”
Horse riding and yurt stays in the Inner Mongolia grasslands in July and August, when the steppe is green. Meals are built around beef and lamb.
The ice and snow season in Harbin usually runs from late December to February. Exact opening dates are announced each year.
Harbin can fall well below minus 20°C. With proper clothing, heated transport and short outdoor sessions it is very manageable, and we send a clothing checklist before you travel.
It follows the lunar calendar and falls between late January and mid-February. We confirm the exact dates for your year.
