Best Time to Visit

March-May, October-December

The best time to visit is after rain or during late spring when the 'sea of clouds' phenomenon is most likely to occur. The weather is pleasant, and visibility is optimal. Avoid hazy days for the best viewing experience.

Avoid Chinese Holidays

Strongly avoid Golden Week (Oct 1-7), Chinese New Year (late Jan/Feb), and Labor Day (May 1-5). Crowds are extreme and tickets often sell out weeks in advance.
