Is July and August suitable for traveling to Yunnan? I heard it is the rainy season?

Tourism is an important way in people's lives. As one of the provinces with the richest tourism resources in my country, Yunnan is very popular among tourists. However, many people have questions about tourism in Yunnan during July and August, because this is when the rainy season begins in Yunnan. So, are July and August suitable for traveling to Yunnan?

1. From a weather perspective, the rainy season in Yunnan starts from the end of June and lasts until the end of September. Among them, July and August are the peak periods of the rainy season and the period with the heaviest rainfall. Therefore, July and August are not the best times to go to Yunnan if you just want to enjoy the sunshine and beautiful scenery.

2. From another perspective, the rainy season in July and August also brings unique scenery to Yunnan tourism. During the rainy season, Yunnan's scenery becomes greener due to the moisture from the rain, and the waterscapes of many scenic spots become more magnificent due to the increase in rain. For example, during the rainy season, Erhai Lake has clear water and the entire lake looks like a huge emerald.

3. There are many benefits to traveling to Yunnan during the off-season. On the one hand, the pressure of travel will be greatly reduced. You don’t have to crowd in with many people to take pictures at scenic spots or wait in line to enter. On the other hand, because of the low tourism season, many hotels and scenic spots will offer preferential prices. This is also a good time to save travel expenses.
