The best time to visit Banqiao is during April and May, or September and October, when the weather is most pleasant.
These months offer comfortable temperatures, typically ranging from 15°C to 25°C, with less rainfall compared to the summer months. This makes it ideal for exploring the natural beauty of the region, such as the surrounding mountains and valleys, without the discomfort of extreme heat or heavy downpours.
For those interested in outdoor activities like hiking or exploring the ancient villages nearby, these periods provide excellent conditions. The clear skies and mild temperatures mean you can comfortably spend full days outdoors, visiting the Dujiangyan Irrigation System or the Qingcheng Mountain, both of which are easily accessible from Banqiao.
