It seem that the weather in Beijing is still cold in April. How about Chengde? I ''will be going there too. Is it going to be blooming there too?what to shop in Tianjin?
Hi Catherine, the weather of April in North of China may be cold sometimes, but i check the weather forecast, and the weather in Beijing and Chengde is not cold this month, it is about 18°C on average. Now it is the time of blooming in most places of China, you can't miss it. If you want to buy some some souvenir, Ni Ren Zhang (clay-figurine Zhang) recommended. If you need us to arrange Beijing and Chengde tour, please feel free to contact us! Mercier Zeng Replied on 2012-04-05
