Beijing in October 2025 – is it worth going? Weather and reviews, air temperature and the amount of rainfall, how to dress, what to take with you? Prices for flights and hotels, for excursions. What to do and what to see in Beijing in October, where else to go in China, says Eurotraveler.
In the fall, migratory birds fly south. Many travelers who do not want to part in the summer do exactly the same thing.
Those who seek to continue swimming and sunbathing. Well, or, at least, to delay the onset of another portion of cold and bad weather in your life.
The trend has existed for a long time and today, if it has not gone out of fashion, it has become commonplace. So lovers of something less standard have to come up with other moves-for example, Fly not south, but to the east.
That’s right, to where the sun rises. Or a little closer – to China, for example.
Indeed, in October, Beijing actually comes a high tourist season. The air temperature is reduced to the most comfortable levels for excursions and walking, and Rains totally turn their activities.
And without the risk of getting a thermal or sunny blow you can realize your dream – to see a great Chinese wall with your own eyes. As well as walking around the forbidden city in an ideal atmosphere for this – under a cloudless sky.
Price
As for prices, such a journey can afford almost any Russian tourist who had previously stared, say, Dubai or Thailand. What is there: in 2025, the cost of a flight from Moscow to Antalya is equal or only below the same in Beijing!
However, we will consider the issue on the merits. And first find out what
Weather in Beijing in October
And it differs truly “gold” – for an inquisitive tourist, especially – character. September heat – it happens to +35 ° C – it subsides, and the air temperature moves into the range not higher than +25 ° C.
Naturally, this is worth using! Having planned the maximum number of long excursions around the city, and just walks in the fresh air.
All the last years in early October in Beijing, in the afternoon, the air temperatures about +22-24 ° C regularly fix the air temperatures. And not only at the beginning! If you are lucky, it can be so warm up to the middle of the month.
True, it is not necessary to calculate that it will be “guaranteed”. Since the average daily air temperatures in Beijing in the middle of autumn fluctuate in the range of +18-20 ° C, not higher.
And at night there are decreases not only to +12-14 ° C, but even to +8-10 ° C. And long before November.
At the end of October, Beijing becomes even cooler, on some days the air does not warm up above +12-14 degrees Celsius.
But often the average month in this area has softer condition. And then the traveler with surprise and satisfaction observes weather forecasts, promising at least +16-18 ° C (sometimes +20 ° C) even on the threshold of November.
We emphasize again – fluctuations in the average daily temperature are very significant, this is generally characteristic of the continental type of climate. So after sunset in the Oktyabrsky Beijing, literally always becomes noticeably colder.
Therefore, we will advise lovers of walking in the evenings and at night to stock up on warm clothes. Really such: not lace blouses, but with lining jackets. Some tourists may be happy with hats and gloves
Precipitation
The main thing, because of which it is worth going to Beijing in October is an almost complete lack of rain. The average monthly rainfall is exceptionally low and does not exceed 15-20 mm.
The probability of cloudless fine day exceeds 70%. And even air humidity during this period almost never rises above 60%. Preferring to live in an amazing one-nevertheless Beijing-do not blow-the range of 30-40%.
What to take with you
Perhaps the main thing is that they advise you not to forget in the comments and reviews regarding trips to China is to take care of the purchase of a SIM card with a package of Internet traffic in advance.
If, of course, you want to view new posts during the trip. To share with friends and subscribers with your thoughts, photos and videos on social networks like Instagram, YouTube and Facebook – they are all blocked in the “Celestial”. As well as much more – for example, the largest world search engine Google.
- What else you need to know about China
When using local SIM cards (by the way, they are also not particularly easy to arrange) you have may not be access And to the messengers: Telegram-u and others like him. But this is already more serious – it is with their help, and not calls or SMS, most people communicate with each other today.
By the way, think about how you will go online. Since even in large cities of China, free Wi-Fi can be indicated, but it will not be. Of course, there are pleasant and even quick exceptions …
The Chinese SIM card is sometimes refused to sell foreigners even upon presentation of a passport. Before buying a card of the China Mobile operator, you should make sure that your phone supports TD-LTE-RG.ru/osobennosti-mobilnogo-interneta-v-kitae.html.
Experienced tourists resolve the issue of bonds by buying an E-SIM with a package of the Internet. But for this you need your smartphone support a similar option.
At the same time, for payment, you will have to get a card of international payment systems Visa or MasterCard somewhere. In principle, even today it is not very difficult to do – it is enough to go by car to Belarus.
By the way, take with you on a trip to China and Universal adapter to electric sockets. Since, although in some hotels you can charge your gadget with a standard European fork, in others you will need an adapter.
Since the most common Rosetic option in China is Australian. Perhaps you have never seen one in your life: the slots are located at an angle of 45 degrees to the horizon.
Money
As for money, the guides reasonably advise Do not rely on Union Pay cardsissued by Russian banks. For they work in China far from everywhere, that is, in fact in general – few where!
This is strange, of course, that the Chinese payment system does not always recognize its own cards. But what is, that is!
In addition, the terminals in Beijing, that in any other city of China, often require not 4, but a 6-digit pin, frankly surprising Russians with this approach.
Smash tourists, however, are not shy about adding a couple of zeros to the first four digits of the pin code. And they receive the desired – otzyv.ru/review/210406/.
Since currency exchangers in this country are far from at every corner. And to do the exchange procedure in a Chinese bank whose employees may well not understand English is not too simple.
However, you can pay in dollars for excursions in Beijing and beyond. So some of your “multi -cream” during such a trip will not hurt!
About clothes that can be useful to you during a trip to Beijing in mid -October and later, we mentioned casually above. And for sure you yourself know that you should wear at a particular air temperature.
Prices 2025
Flights for direct flights of Moscow-Pekin and back will cost completely not fantastic money. In particular, a citizen traveling in an economy class will pay for himself and luggage about 50-55 thousand rubles.
But (good) hotels in the capital of China are quite expensive-you can find anything decent and not located at a significant distance from the city center only by laying on living from 100-120 € per day. And this is such a good, Central European or even higher (in Paris, Rome or Barcelona, the hotels are even more expensive) level.
Plus, you should be prepared to pay additional fees. Which in some cases can exceed 15% of the price of a hotel room.
We recommend that you pay attention to the large and comfortable hotel Park Plaza Beijing Wangfujing. In the reviews, its location is praised next to the metro and cafe, as well as cleanliness and regular cleaning. An important bonus for any foreigner is the fact that the staff understands English.
A good and designed in the Mongolian style of the Inner Mongolia Grand Hotel hotel. The reviews are primarily mentioned by a good location (near the metro station and a 15 -minute drive from Tiananmen Square), the goodwill and professionalism of the staff. And also “good” breakfasts.
The roads and excursions in Beijing with Russian -speaking guides are equal. Standard price tag: $ 250-300 for a sightseeing walk lasting 6-8 hours for a group of up to 6 people (and who, interestingly, travel such companies?). The departure to the Great Chinese wall will cost about a similar amount.
Do you understand English well? Then your costs will be reduced – for a walk, for example, in a forbidden city with a guide (entrance tickets are included) one tourist will pay about 40-50 €.
What to see in Beijing in October
Obviously, you will not pass the central square of Tiananmen – one of the key attractions of China. After the inspection of which it will logically move aside Forbidden city -Especially in October, when the weather in Beijing indulges citizens and tourists with a bright blue sky and warmth.
Inspection of this residence of the Chinese emperors is good if it meets 1 day. And this event is pretty good – the complex with a fenced red wall does not know the equal in size in the world.
Is it a joke – the length of one of the sides of the residence only does not reach one kilometer just a little! And the number of individual buildings inside still cannot be normally counted: in some sources, 980 (Wikipedia) is indicated – in others as much as 990.
Despite fatigue, we will advise you after a visit to the forbidden city to rise to Hill Jinshan Behind him. First of all, because from there is an exceptional view of the huge palace complex.
The sign attraction of Beijing is the complex The temple of the skywhose construction began in the first half of the 15th century simultaneously with a forbidden city. It is also located in the Central Pekingsky district of Dunchen, but at a distance of almost 7 km from his much better well -known colleague.
It is interesting that all structures inside the complex and even its small details correspond to the principles of Feng Shui. Well, the main and most memorable building is the round temple of prayer for a rich crop.
We will also advise you to visit the main Buddhist Temple of Beijing, Yunhagun“The Palace of Peace and Harmony.” If not in order to try to gain calm and internal balance, then to get acquainted with remarkable examples of traditional Chinese architecture.
Where to go
Of the most significant attractions near Beijing, we will mention Summer palace Chinese emperors. He settled in the middle of a huge park, which becomes a particularly beautiful mature autumn. And on the shore of Lake Kunmin, on which you can ride a boat.
You can get to the Summer Palace on your own by metro, it is located 15 km northwest of Beijing. In the reviews, however, they recommend visiting him along with the guide so as not to miss a lot of interesting details.
Well, naturally, being in Beijing, one cannot but visit the Great Chinese Wall. One of the excessively preserved sections of which, Badalin, is only 65 km from the Chinese capital.
You can easily get to the wall yourself. Only it is worth considering that the wall is open to visiting up to 18 hours.
Therefore, it is best to go early in the morning and lay a full day on the trip – so you can go away from the main tourist crowds. In order to fully absorb the atmosphere of this incredible place, which is rightly one of the main man -made wonders of the world.
