哪个季节最适合来中国旅游?

大家都知道，中国的地域非常广，所以你可以在不同季节到中国的不同地区，去领略这个季节所带来的美景。

Everybody knows that China is very large, so you can go to different regions of China in different seasons to appreciate
the scenery in that season.

有一些地区，是四个季节都适宜来旅游的，比如说云南，广西还有海南岛。

Some areas are suitable to visit in all four seasons, such as Yunnan, Guangxi and Hainan island

如果是春天，很多地方气候都比较宜人。你可以去苏州或者杭州领略江南的景色。

If it is in the Spring, a lot of places have a suitable climate. You could go to Suzhou or Hangzhou to appreciate the scenery south of the Yangtze River.

你也可以去成都看看可爱的大熊猫。
Nǐ yě kěyǐ qù chéngdū kànkan kě’ài de dà xióngmāo.
You could also go to Chengdu to see the cute pandas.

如果是夏天，你可以到中国的一些沿海城市去避暑，比如青岛，大连。
Rúguǒ shì xiàtiān, nǐ kěyǐ dào zhōngguó de yīxiē yánhǎi chéngshì qù bìshǔ, bǐrú Qīngdǎo, Dàlián.
If it is the summer, you could go to some of China’s coastal cities to escape the heat, like Qingdao or Dalian.

如果是秋天，比较适宜去中国的北方爬爬山，看看山间的树叶变红，那种美丽的景色。
Rúguǒ shì qiūtiān, bǐjiào shìyí qù zhōngguó de běifāng pá páshān, kànkan shān jiān de shùyè biàn hóng, nà zhǒng měilì de jǐngsè.
If is the Autumn, it is quite appropriate to go to north China to climb mountains, and look at the leaves in the mountains turning red, 
pretty scenery like that.

到了冬天，你可以去中国东北的哈尔滨市，去看看冰灯节，看看那里白雪覆盖的世界。
Dàole dōngtiān, nǐ kěyǐ qù zhōngguó dōngběi de Hā’ěrbīn shì, qù kànkan bīngdēng jié, kànkan nàlǐ báixuě fùgài de shìjiè.
In the winter, you can go to Harbin in northeast China to see the ice lantern festival and look at the snow-covered world.

当然，那里的气温非常低，可能可以达到零下三十摄氏度，所以你一定要带好最厚的衣服。
Dāngrán, nàlǐ de qìwēn fēicháng dī, kěnéng kěyǐ dádào língxià sānshí shèshìdù, suǒyǐ nǐ yīdìng yào dàihǎo zuì hòu de yīfu.
Of course, the temperate there will be very low, maybe as slow as -30 degrees Celsius, so you must take your thickest clothes.
