Life, as they say, is no picnic. Which is why we should all be having a lot more picnics. Nothing beats lolling on the grass, eating food with your hands and drinking a bit more than is appropriate for the time of day. But where are the best Beijing picnic spots? Here are our top tips, along with snack suggestions too.
What’s it all about? Yummy renditions of Vietnamese street food staples, wrapped up in hip branding in a cute diner a mere stagger from Beijing’s most popular bar.
When to go to Beijing? The shortest answer is ANY TIME, JUST COME QUICK, IT’S BRILLIANT. You’ve probably heard the slightly longer answer: the best weather for visitors in Beijing happens in spring and autumn, when the temperature is pleasant and the skies are blue.

So, we have compiled the world’s first (probably) month-by-month guide to Beijing weather, in order to help you fine-tune your travel plans – or just check up on what to expect. Enjoy!
