What month does Hangzhou travel?
Spring (March to May) and autumn (September to November).
1. Spring (March to May): Spring is one of the most beautiful seasons in Hangzhou, with cherry blossoms, peach blossoms and camellias in full bloom. The flower sea by the West Lake is particularly charming, with a warm and comfortable climate, suitable for outdoor activities and strolling.
2. Autumn (September to November): In autumn, Hangzhou has a blue sky and a pleasant climate, which is the best time to enjoy autumn. The red leaf landscape in West Lake, Maojiabu and Lingyin Temple is very charming, with relatively few people and relatively quiet scenic spots.
Hangzhou has a warm and humid climate with four distinct seasons. Spring blossoms from March to April every year, which is the peak season for tourism, and the temperature is between 9-15℃, which is also the best season for tourism. From September to October, the weather turns cool and the autumn is crisp, but there is often strong cold air activity after the Mid-Autumn Festival, so you should prepare more clothes.
Hangzhou has different scenery all the year round, such as the willow waves and the warblers in spring, the wind and lotus in the Quyuan in summer, the autumn moon in Pinghu and the broken bridge in winter. But as a city in the south of the Yangtze River, it should be the most beautiful scenery in spring.
