China Flights

The rich history, deeply rooted spirituality, and vibrant tapestry of colour found in China draws in travellers from around the world. If you, too, feel summoned by the promise of sacred temples and the magnificent Great Wall of China, there is no better time to plan your holiday than now. Thanks to deals on airfare, you can make your way from Sydney to Beijing (SYD to PEK) without spending your entire dim sum allowance. One thing is sure—you won't regret spending time in one of the most historic and beautiful countries in the world. Cheap flights to China are just an added bonus!

Exploring China

China has distinct seasons. Thanks to its huge size, you won't find the same temperatures in every region throughout the year, but some basic truths apply to most of the country. Winters can be quite frigid, with temperatures below freezing in many places. On the other hand, summer temperatures might be considered very hot by travellers who are accustomed to more temperate climates. In fact, Wuhan, Tianjin, Chongqing, and Nanchang are known as the “four furnaces.” Autumn, specifically from September to October, may just be the sweet spot for visitors. The temperatures are ideal, you can still enjoy plenty of sun, and it's harvest season. That means you can walk the Great Wall, visit the Forbidden City, and shop open markets more comfortably.
