Beijing Weather in May

Cloves in Jietai Temple

Cloves in Jietai Temple , Beijing

Rainfall is still low this month. It is warm during the day and cool at night. A T-shirt and a light jacket is enough to cope with the weather.

May is a good season to go to see flowers in Beijing. May is also one of the best times to visit the Great Wall. In May, when trees and plants turn green, the wall wanders among lush vegetation. See our Great Wall tours.

May marks the beginning of the busy travel season. However flights, hotels and tourist attractions don't raise their prices until later. They usually do that in the peak travel season from June to October.

May 1 to 3 is the Labor Day holiday. Hotel rates are often higher than usual, and tourist attractions are crowded. If you plan to travel during this period, you are advised to book everything in advance.

Hi Taj,

Usually 3 hours would be adequate to connect flights in the same airport if both flights are on time. There are three terminals at Beijing International airport, it is important for you to confirm the right terminal for both flights. You can check the terminals for airlines by following the link here,

If it is an international flight involved, yes, you will need to go through the Custom Inspection, check different situations here,
