Behind the Quiz

How We Calculate Your Result

This quiz isn't random. Each answer you give is weighted against three data dimensions: weather suitability (temperature and rainfall patterns from China Meteorological Administration 10-year averages), crowd avoidance (Chinese holiday calendar and attraction visitor data), and cost optimization (seasonal flight and hotel price indices). Your preferences for temperature, crowds, and budget determine which months score highest.

Weather Match

Your temperature preference is matched against monthly climate normals for each region, weighted by your destination choice.

Crowd Filter

Your crowd tolerance is cross-referenced with China's public holiday calendar and peak season data.

Cost Adjustment

Your budget determines whether we recommend peak-season windows or off-season sweet spots.
