The best time to visit Baoshan is during the dry season, from November to April, when you can expect pleasant weather and clearer skies.
This period offers mild temperatures, typically ranging from 10°C to 20°C, making it ideal for exploring the region's natural beauty and cultural sites comfortably. The reduced rainfall means outdoor activities, such as hiking in Gaoligong Mountain National Nature Reserve or visiting the Tengchong Volcanic Geological Park, are much more enjoyable.
For travellers looking to experience the region's hot springs, the dry season is particularly suitable. The cooler ambient temperatures create a lovely contrast with the warm spring waters, making for a very relaxing experience. Many resorts in areas like Rehai (Hot Sea) in Tengchong offer excellent facilities for this.
While the wet season, from May to October, brings lush greenery, it also means more frequent rain and higher humidity, which can sometimes disrupt outdoor plans.
