Best season to travel from Irkutsk to Shanghai

China offers a wealth of experiences, from its delectable cuisine to its vibrant culture and breathtaking natural beauty. The ideal time to travel depends on your personal preferences and availability. Consider factors such as the climate, peak tourist season, and the type of experience you desire.

During peak season, expect larger crowds but also a more lively atmosphere and a wider range of cultural and tourist activities. Travelling off-season often translates to fewer crowds, lower flight and accommodation prices, and a more authentic taste of local life. While some outdoor activities may be limited due to weather conditions, popular attractions are likely to be less crowded, allowing for a more immersive experience.
