1.When is the best time to visit the Great Wall?
The Great Wall offers a timeless charm to tourists, but scenery varies with seasons. Visit it in different times to get a quite different scene. In spring, when trees and plants begin to turn green, the wall wonders among the lush vegetation. Every thing looks so fresh. It is a good time to avoid the crowd tourists in summer and autumn. In late Spring with the flowers bloom is a great time to find a wild section of the wall and hike up to it.
Summer comes, the booming flowers and colored leaves cover the mountains. The Great Wall snakes its way like a silver necklace. What a nice sight!
When fall comes, the mountains are blanketed by colors, creating an amazing view and the weather during this time is pleasant. This season could be the best season to visit.
The mountains and the wall itself are covered with snow in winter, offering an awesome snowy scene. The weather in this time of the year will be frozenly cold and tourists are fewer. It is the best time to get the whole view of the wall.
2. You can visit Beijing at almost any time of the year, but the peak tourist season is from June through until August, when many of the hotels increase their rates, and trips out the Great Wall tend to be blighted by the sheer number of tourists.
Autumn brings the best weather of the year, and is also a quieter time to visit, although Beijing is home to so many people that the streets are still pretty busy.
If you go in winter, you'll benefit from really low prices on the hotels, and Beijing will be very quiet, although this is because the temperature gets really low, and is rather unpleasant.
Chinese New Year is celebrated in Beijing more than anywhere else in the world, which means that the hotels tend to be very busy, and it can be difficult to get a room, although if you book well in advance, it is a spectacular, and unforgettable time to visit
