Characterized mainly by flat land, Beijing also has hills in the
north, northwest and west of Beijing. Western part of Beijing is
bordered by the Xishan Mountains. Yongding River and Chaobai River
are the two major rivers flowing through the city thereby making the
geography of Beijing more beautiful. This capital city of China is
located between 116-20' east longitude and 39-56' north latitude and
has Tianjin city on its eastern border and Hebei province on the
north, south and the west.
The
weather in Beijing are characterized by the distinct four seasons.
The summer are long, humid, and hot, winter becomes windy, dry, and
cold, and the pleasant spring and autumn are short. With late spring
and autumn being the best seasons for tourists to visit the city,
you can see large number of tourists during these times of the year.
Autumn is regarded as the golden tourist season of the year.
July
being the hottest and January being the coldest, the best time for
you to tour Beijing is the autumn season, September and October. The
view is spectacular with the trees changing colors, and the weather
is just perfect to pack up lightweight clothing. Despite the
weather, the autumn season is also the fewest tourists that visit
Beijing. July and August, on the other hand is the highest tour
peak.
Other
factor to consider when it comes to Beijing is the sandstorms and
air quality. Sandstorms happen during the spring seasons. Air
quality is also an issue so some days you may be able to see the
whole Beijing, and others you can barely see a few hundred meters
away.
No
matter when you come for your Beijing tour, however it has a
different face you will be able to enjoy. Come see the snow in the
winter in the mountains and the Great wall, see the autumn change
the trees, experience the heat and the crowd of locals and tourist
in the summer, and experience the rain season of the monsoon during
the spring.
Beijing has all of it. Come enjoy your Beijing tour in all four
