I want to go out for the three-day Qingming holiday. I am in Beijing and have the following options: Pingyao, Dalian, Chengde, Jinan, and Qinhuangdao.

The weather in Jinan is pretty good when you go to Jinan in April, but it will be very hot there in summer. The scenic spots are all average. Baotu Spring and Daming Lake in Jinan are not worth seeing. Taishan will be a bit cold.

The scenery in Pingyao is also good. It is an authentic ancient city. You can stay in a Chinese-style hotel and enjoy special meals. The Qiao Family Courtyard is antique. Some of our colleagues went to Shanxi last year and stayed in a hotel with a hot bed.

It is better to go to Dalian in the summer. You can watch marine animal performances at the aquarium, sea bathing at the beach, Jinshitan Theme Park, and Bingyu Valley is known as Little Guilin. However, it will be relatively cold in April, so the most suitable season is July and August.

The spring scenery in Chengde is also good, but the season when flowers bloom everywhere in the summer resort is also May.
