Weather Beijing has a rather dry, monsoon-influenced humid continental climate, characterized by hot, humid summers due to the East Asian monsoon, and generally cold, windy, dry winters that reflect the influence of the vast Siberian anticyclone. The monthly average temperature in June is 24°C (75°F), with the highest of 30°C (86°F), and the lowest 18°C (64°F).

Transportation The public transport of Beijing is very well-developed. Mass Transit Railway (MTR, or subway) and taxi is recommended. With bus services almost every corner is covered. However, as a densely populated metropolis, transportation in the city’s urban area can be very crowded and traffic jams are quite common, especially during rush hours. For more information about Beijing’s MTR, please visit: http://www.ebeijing.gov.cn/feature_2/BeijingSubway/.
