When is the best time to come to Beijing?

Spring, summer and autumn are more suitable for coming to Beijing, and it feels a little cold in winter.

In spring and autumn, the sun in Beijing shines warmly all day, without the appalling cold in the middle of winter and the withering heat in the hot summer. The recommended scenic spot in Beijing is the Great Wall, which is the national military defense project in the Cold War era with the longest construction time and the largest amount of work in the world, dating back to the Western Zhou Dynasty.

After that, various dynasties and countries defended each other and repaired each other. Later, after Qin Shihuang unified the world, he began to connect and repair it systematically until the final perfection of the Ming Dynasty, which lasted more than 2,000 years and totaled more than 50,000 kilometers. It is the symbol and pride of the Chinese nation. The majestic Great Wall of Wan Li is one of the "world wonders" created by the ancient people of China, and it is a real monument in the history of human civilization.
