Beijing has an extremely diverse climate, from tropical in the summer to sub-arctic in the winter. Beijing has a continental monsoon climate with clear-cut seasons. Spring is dry and windy. Summer is hot and humid. Autumn offers the best weather, with generous sunshine. In winter, Beijing is severely affected by freezing winds from Siberia.
Today’s China is a far cry from the days of Mao revolutionaries in buttoned-down tunics. Beijing, the cultural and political capital, is developing at a rapid pace and doesn’t want to look back. The preparation of the Olympic games has accelerated the pace of modernisation and the marks of the past are erased a little more each day.
