Often speaking of the holiday season, we mean July. And many of us spend it abroad. If you want to experience an oriental charm, head to China. Fans of Asian destinations are increasingly choosing this country, especially Russian citizens. In this article on the Tour-Calendar we will tell you about what kind of rest you should expect in the "Celestial Empire" in the middle of summer.
Weather in China in July
In terms of area, China ranks second after Russia. Its territory is huge, so it is not surprising that several climatic zones simultaneously dominate on it. However, at the height of summer, weather conditions in most provinces are balanced, and everywhere, with the exception of some northern regions, it becomes extremely hot. It should be noted right away that such corners of the country are designed only for the amateur. And to be more precise, for those who easily endure all the discomfort caused by the scorching heat. Heavy precipitation falls on the southern regions. It cannot be said that they are so abundant that they cause floods, but sometimes their volume reaches a maximum, and this negatively affects not only the plans of tourists, but also the way of life of the local population. In Guangzhou, which belongs to the subtropical belt, about 284 mm falls per month, which is equivalent to 16 rainy days. In Hong Kong, lying a few kilometers from it, on the coast, forecasters record all 347 mm, which is 17-18 rainy days. During the day the air warms up to +30 .. + 32 ° C, nights bring barely perceptible relief - +25 .. + 26 ° C. On clear days, the sun shines up to 7 hours a day, but through a dense veil of clouds, ultraviolet light "excellent" burns the skin. For this reason, you should not refuse to use photoprotective creams in gloomy weather. And it falls on almost the entire month. And this is due not only to showers, but also to squally winds. The latter often turn into destructive typhoons by the end of July. In 1997, hurricane Nadezhda penetrated these regions at a speed of 240 km / h, depriving the city of all the benefits of civilization for a whole week. During this time, over 100 people died. But why “walk” far. For example, in 2012 Hong Kong overtook Typhoon Vicente.
Beijing Shanghai Hong Kong Guangzhou Macao Lhasa (Tibet) Hainan
The raging elements left behind trees uprooted, felled road signs, broken power lines and nearly a hundred injured people. In general, we would not advise you to take risks. Hainan is also in the hurricane corridor. He often happens to observe the madness of nature, and the closer to August, the higher the likelihood that this will happen. Nevertheless, there is not so much precipitation here - about 154 mm, but it is very stuffy. Regarding the temperature regime, it is almost identical to that prevailing in Hawaii: from +25 ° C to +33 .. + 35 ° C. This similarity is due to the location tropical island at the same latitude as the American resort (approximately 18 degrees from the equator). Shanghai news reports are also full of warnings about impending storms (usually in the second half of the month), but as statistics show (and, as you know, you cannot argue with it), something serious happens not in July, but in early August. Of course, it's better to play it safe and not stay in the city for the last two weeks. After all, this is fraught with sudden evacuations, flight cancellations and other nightmarish things for Europeans. How are things going in the capital? In the northeast of China, everything is more or less calm. But despite the influence of the temperate climate, unbearable heat comes there too. Weather reports indicate a modest +30 ° C, but in fact they are capable of "pouring out" at all + 40 ° C. Add to this the stuffiness provoked by a decent amount of precipitation - an average of 195 mm, and then visiting this city becomes a big question. However, this does not stop tourists. A vivid confirmation of this is the huge crowds of sightseers. A somewhat different picture emerges in the northwest, on the Ordos plateau. These regions are languishing with drought. Perhaps the most welcoming in July is the Tibetan Plateau. During the day, Lhasa meets at +22 ° C, and in the evening - at +10 ° C. In addition to warm things, you will need an umbrella here - almost 125 mm.
What to do in China in July?

This is due not only to the massive influx of foreigners, but also to the fact that the Chinese go on holidays and summer holidays and they also love to travel. A stay in the Celestial Empire is never mediocre. This is the cradle ancient civilizations, a country of great contrasts and rich cultural heritage. With a careful study of the route through the regions as far as possible from the zones prone to typhoons, it can turn out to be quite an interesting and exciting vacation. The main thing is not to take off your hat on the street, observe the drinking regime and prevent the skin from burns.

These are such resorts as Dalian, which is also a generally recognized health resort, Baidahe and Qingdao. True, there is no such luxurious infrastructure as in Hainan, but in terms of weather it is safer. In July, the water is not as invigorating as it was a month earlier. It cools pleasantly - about +23 ° C.

However, it will be interesting even for adults and couples in love due to the well-groomed territory, which is a real masterpiece of landscape art. It is perfect for romantic evenings.

For the first time we used the online tour booking service through the website, everyone very conveniently and quickly bought a tour to China without leaving home. Throughout the entire time, the managers were in touch, very promptly and quickly answered all questions, took into account all the wishes. I will recommend this service to my friends and will definitely use it myself again.

After booking the tour, the operators will contact you to clarify the details and answer all questions. Tour documents arrived 3 days before departure. The trip went very well. In the future I will use this site to purchase tours. Thank you very much.

Booked a tour here through installments from Tinkoff. Everything is convenient and understandable, but I think it will be difficult for a novice tourist who has never flown. Fortunately, there is support, I had several questions about the visa, wrote to them in VK, quickly answered and explained everything.
A very handy application! Reservations and purchases are fast. The guys on the hotline are very friendly!
Very convenient, simple and fast. This is not the first time I have used it. From the last trip there were bonuses that I used this time, a trifle, but nice
Very convenient filtering, there is all the information necessary for the selection. Search for several dates is a little buggy (the algorithm still looks for the main date first, and not +/- days, but it would be more convenient to be the first to find the most advantageous offers for the available dates).
The site liked the site because you can compare vacation options from different tour operator companies, while the site shows information in a more convenient and informative form than the tour operators themselves. Registration and payment of the tour were very quick and convenient. After registration important information was available in personal account.
The first time I bought a tour through the Internet service. At first there were doubts, but suddenly they were deceived, because you transfer money immediately online. But everything worked out great. This is the best and fastest online recruiting service online tours... In December, I purchased a tour to China on the island of Hainan. Operators clearly answered all questions over the phone. The tour was bought in 5 minutes. Confirmation from the tour operator took about 2 days. I liked very much that the order status is fully displayed in the personal account. All documents were sent in advance. It is especially pleasing that the service works with proven large tour operators, with whom it is not scary on a trip .. Thank you very much for a great stay !! ...
