Best time to travel: Shanghai is located at the front edge of the Yangtze River Delta. It has a typical subtropical maritime monsoon climate with four distinct seasons, mild and humid weather, and abundant rainfall, mostly from May to September.

The hottest time in Shanghai is between July and August, with about 10 days with temperatures exceeding 35°C, making it unsuitable for outdoor activities. The coldest time is from late January to early February. Although there is little snowfall, it is still wet and cold.

The air and biting north wind are often unbearable, so be careful to keep warm.

From mid-June to early July is the plum rain season, with continuous rain; from the end of August to early to mid-September is the typhoon season, with sudden violent storms. You must bring an umbrella when traveling to Shanghai during these two periods.

Shanghai attracts tourists from all over the world with its prosperous and fashionable urban atmosphere. However, the lack of natural landscape makes this international city crowded with tourists all year round.

Among them, spring with catkins and peach blossoms and free-flying orioles is the most suitable for outings in the countryside.

Visitors can go to Nanhui to enjoy peach blossoms and taste spring peaches.

Autumn, when the red leaves are all over the sky, is the best time to taste hairy crabs. As the saying goes, "the autumn wind makes the crabs itchy," the hairy crabs at this time have yellow feet, thick fat, and beautiful meat, which is mouth-watering.

It is worth noting that around the Tomb Sweeping Day period, Shanghainese families go out to sweep graves, and traffic to surrounding cities will be very tight; during the Golden Week, Shanghai is overcrowded, and you may encounter traffic control, making travel inconvenient.
