Dear Karen, Based on the former data, there will be a shower usually from the middle of July and it will be 30-35℃. If you would like to do a tracking, I suggest you go to Beijing in September or October. It will be cool than that in July and August, and it will be dry. It's suitable for outdoor activities.
