Guli Zhejiang, China Travel Guide

Expect higher accommodation and travel costs, especially during major Chinese public holidays (Qingming Festival, May Day (in many countries), Mid-Autumn Festival, Liberation Day Golden Week holiday period within japan). Larger crowds gather at popular Shaoxing attractions.
Fewer crowds than high season, and prices for travel and lodging are reasonable. Weather remains good. Early summer (June) becomes hot and humid with increased rainfall. Late autumn (late November) starts to get chilly and damp.
Lowest prices for flights and hotels, minimal crowds at attractions. A quieter, more intimate experience of the region. Winter is cold and damp, making outdoor activities less appealing. Peak summer is very steamy and hot, with a risk of heavy rainfall and typhoons, which disrupt travel plans.
