First Snow for 2012 Beijing

Saturday, January 7th, 2012

 

A lively Beijing winter! Today is January 07 and Beijing greets its first snowfall for 2012. At 7:30am as usual I start my 20-minite routine walk to my office. Out on our living block garden, I’m really surprised at the snowflakes flying and dancing in the air, small and white. So I take the lift up back to my flat and take my camera with me, grabbing some photos of the first snow 2012 in Beijing.

Beijing in October, Beijing Weather in October

Wednesday, November 9th, 2011

 

Plan your Beijing tours in October? October is one of the best months to visit Beijing. It is a tourist peak season in Beijing. October 01 – 07 is an important China holiday – China National Day, a week-long holiday. There will be a huge crowd of domestic tourists flocking to Beijing. Avoid visiting Beijing during the week-long holiday.
 
Most of the days in October are fine with blue sky. But there are some foggy days happening in October. Check the live weather report and arrange your sightseeing, especially the outdoor activities.
 
Beijing autumn, specifically the two months from the mid-Setempber to mid-November are the ideal season to visit Beijing in a year. It’s always comfortably cool outside, exploring the city’s streets and hutong, killing your time in the numerous outdoor cafes and restaurants, climbing the suburban mountains, being a hero by hiking the great wall and enjoying the best autumn hues feasting your eyes.
 
Get out and enjoy the best fall colours probably the most ideal period from October 15 throughout November 15 in Beijing with many trees stripped of their leaves by the end of October. Snap pictures or just take in a feast for the eyes!
 
Fairly big difference in temperature between early morning and afternoon. Wear a jacket, or a warm coat in the morning, long-sleeve shirts or short T-shirts in the afternoon. So be mindful of the temperture difference in Autumn. Comfortabel sportshoes, rubber soled shoes for hiking. In afternoon, sometimes the autumn sunlight could be very strong, get ready for sunglasses, suncream and sun hat.
