Is it OK to come to Beijing during the winter/middle of summer?
Absolutely! Just prepare enough clothing for the Winter and more can be bought on location. The average temperature for the month of January is -4 °C (25 °F) and Beijing is dressed up in a white beautiful dress. For example the Great Wall is an amazing experience during the winter!
During the hottest summer months, mornings and evenings are cool. Afternoon is a good time to have a lunch brake and relax in the shade.
