Best Time to Visit Linxia

Linxia lies at the junction of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and the Loess Plateau, with its terrain sloping from the southwest to the northeast. The alpine areas in the southwest are cold, damp and gloomy all year round, while the plateau regions in the northeast feature dry and rainless weather. The river valleys and flatlands nestled among mountains enjoy a mild climate free from extreme cold or heat.

Linxia has an average annual temperature of 6.3℃ and an average annual precipitation of around 537 millimeters, falling into the temperate semi-arid and semi-humid climate zone.

Thanks to its relatively high altitude, Linxia boasts cool and pleasant summers. June to August each year is the ideal period for traveling here. During this time, you can escape the summer heat and relax, admire the magnificent natural scenery of Lianhua Mountain, Taizi Mountain, Jishi Pass and other scenic spots, and experience the distinctive local Islamic customs. Your trip will be comfortable, delightful and truly memorable.
