One of the best nations for cultural discoveries, outdoor adventures and more, China has much to offer though proper planning is needed and here are some things to keep in mind.
When to Go
China can easily be visited year-round so it’s essential to do some research beforehand. The most pleasant weather can be experienced in autumn (September to October) and spring (April to May) which offer lovely fall colours in nature and floral blooms respectively. Summer (June to August) can get quite hot, and it can rain too but it’s also one of the most popular periods for activities; winter (November to March) will bring about very cold weather though you get some amazing winter scenery too.
Accommodation
Finding central accommodation close to transport options as well as business and leisure hubs will be key. While you can opt for hotels, consider staying at apartments including those at Somerset Swan Lake Hefei that offer an ideal home away from home; they come with a fully equipped kitchen, family entertainment system, dining and living areas and Wi-Fi internet access. Ideally, the property should also have a restaurant, meeting room, children’s playroom and gym which will add to the convenience.
Destinations
Take time to decide which destination/s you plan to visit and see what each has to offer. For example, those based at central apartments Hefei has to offer near Swan Lake can also plan excursions to attractions like Chao Lake, Laoshan Island, Hefei Botanical Garden and Baohe Park. Likewise, Beijing with its Forbidden City, Summer Palace and access to the Great Wall as well as Shanghai home to the Bund, Jing’an Temple, and Yuyuan Gardens each have something different to enjoy.
Transport
China’s well-developed transportation system also provides easy options to get about be it within cities or areas further afield. Depending on where you are based, you can make use of subways, trains, buses, waterways, and airports if you want to save time and fly domestically. Subways tend to be very cost-effective and fast, while long-distance trains provide amazing views of the surrounding areas. You can alternatively hail taxis or for some pedal-powered sightseeing, hire a bicycle!
