China-Shanghai

Spring and autumn are the best seasons to visit Shanghai. Although spring brings more rainfall, from March to May, Shanghai enjoys moderate temperatures, lush vegetation, and chirping birds, making it an ideal time for outings and flower gazing in the countryside.

From September to November, Shanghai is immersed in autumn’s atmosphere, and the delicious hairy crabs with abundant roe and tender meat are a must-try. At this time, wandering through the streets and alleys of Shanghai, one can feel the city’s bustling and tranquility, each with its own unique charm.
