The best time to visit Songlin is during the autumn months, particularly from late September to November, when the weather is generally dry and the landscape is at its most colourful.
During this period, the days are typically clear and sunny, with comfortable temperatures that are ideal for outdoor activities like hiking and exploring the national parks. The vibrant reds, oranges, and yellows of the changing leaves make for spectacular scenery, especially around the valleys and mountainous areas.
Spring, from April to May, is also a pleasant time to visit, as the weather is mild and the wildflowers are in bloom. However, you might encounter more rainfall during this season compared to autumn.
We generally advise against visiting in July and August due to the higher likelihood of heavy rainfall, which can sometimes lead to travel disruptions and limit outdoor exploration.
