When to visit Shanghai? Spring and autumn are the best seasons for traveling to Shanghai.
There is a lot of rainfall in spring, but the temperature in Shanghai from March to May is moderate, with grass growing and birds flying, making it suitable for outdoor outings and viewing peach red willow green; During the period from September to November, Shanghai has a strong autumn atmosphere, so don't miss the opportunity to taste the creamy and delicious hairy crabs!
The spring season with willow catkins, peach blossoms, and free flying warblers is most suitable for outdoor outings. The peach blossoms in Nanhui, the cherry blossoms in Gucun Park, and the tulips in Shanghai Flower Harbor are competing to bloom, making it the best time to appreciate flowers. Autumn, with its red leaves all over the sky, is the best time to taste hairy crabs. The so-called "autumn wind makes the crab feet itch", and at this time, the hairy crabs have yellow feet, thick crab fat, and beautiful crab meat, which makes people drool.
It is worth noting that before and after the Qingming Festival, there are a large number of people going hiking, and transportation will be very tight. Early May and before and after National Day are traditional peak tourist seasons and long vacations, which are bound to be crowded, so they may not be the best choice for travel and entertainment. Tourists can adjust their travel time appropriately to avoid large crowds of people, in order to prevent inconvenience caused by traffic and congestion.
Shanghai Nanhui Peach Blossom Festival
Location: Taohua Village, Nanhui
Date: From mid March to mid April each year
The locals in Shanghai have always had the custom of appreciating peach blossoms in spring. Since 1991, the Peach Blossom Festival has been held in Nanhui every March and April. The beautiful waterfront scenery and the magnificent peach blossom scenery complement each other, becoming a distinct feature of the Shanghai Nanhui Peach Blossom Festival. Whenever the grass grows and the orioles fly, and the spring flowers bloom, we sail by boat. Against the backdrop of the blue sky and blue sea, the peach blossoms of a hundred miles compete with each other, and the clouds are flourishing; Shezhou disembarks and walks into the depths of the Peach Blossom Land, strolling in the sea of flowers. Tourists themselves have become a landscape of human faces and peach blossoms shining red.
