The Charm of Rainy Season Travel

The plum rain season from June to August adds an ink-painting quality to southern China’s landscapes.

Why Travel in the Rain

Many tourists avoid rainy season, which means fewer crowds and lower prices. After rain, mountains are wrapped in mist, waterfalls run at full force, and bamboo forests are washed to vivid green. Many attractions also offer discounted tickets during this period.
