Is June Worth Visiting?
June is the start of hot, humid summer in most of China, with the rainy season peaking in the south and east. But it is also when the highlands (Yunnan, Tibet, Qinghai, Guizhou) shine as cool green escapes, and the Dragon Boat Festival adds colour. Crowds are high (4/5) as school holidays begin. Best for highland and grassland travel; worst for low-elevation cities in the south and east unless you embrace the rain.
