The shoulder seasons offer a sweet spot with pleasant weather, fewer crowds than summer, and more great prices for flights and hotels. You'll find it easier to book budget-friendly accommodation in areas like Dongcheng or Xicheng, which are centrally located and well-connected by Beijing's extensive and inexpensive subway system. These months are also ideal for exploring outdoor attractions like the Great Wall or the Forbidden City without the extreme heat or cold.

For solo travellers truly seeking the lowest prices, winter (November to March) presents the best value, although the weather can be quite cold.
