| The best time to visit Beijing is during autumn. It is a time when the skies are clear and the weather is at its comfortable best. It is neither too hot nor too cold and there is lots of sunshine to keep the spirits high while exploring the city. Meanwhile, those who wish to avoid the crowds can visit Beijing during summer. June is a month when there are very few tourists to speak of. It is a time when one can explore Beijing without being wary of the crowds that can be seen everywhere during autumn. However, it should be borne in mind that the months of July and August are very humid and hence not a very good time to go to Beijing.
Both men and women should dress in a sober manner. High heels and short-sleeved blouses are to be avoided as the Chinese frown on women who display too much. Besides, it is highly inappropriate to touch a woman in public. Large hand movements should be avoided. Besides, never point while speaking to anyone. If it is necessary, use an open palm to do so.
