There is no single best time to visit China, because it is a vast country spanning deserts, grasslands, snow mountains and subtropical rivers. The best month depends on the region and the scenery you are after. Here is a season-by-season guide, with the China Express Travel tours that match each window. 中国幅员辽阔，从沙漠、草原到雪山、江南水乡，并没有唯一的”最佳时间”，几月去最好取决于您想看的地区与景色。以下按季节为您梳理，并附上华运旅游相应的行程。
Spring · March to May / 春季（3至5月）
