Weather in June in China
This country is huge in size, and this is one of the factors that affect the weather and climate. In the southern and central parts of China, heavy rains are frequent in June, and the north-west of the country surprises tourists with dry and clear weather. The east is in the zone of typhoons, which can ruin any holiday.
The capital Beijing will also not be able to please with comfortable weather, the thermometer is slowly but steadily approaching + 30C °. Coupled with high humidity, the heat causes irreparable moral damage, which a tourist can compensate for with wonderful excursion programs.
Forbidden City
One of the most mysterious and attractive places to visit in Beijing is Gugong, the Forbidden City, the world's first largest and most famous palace complex. Two dynasties of the Celestial Empire and twenty-four rulers had a residence here. According to the assurances of ancient local astronomers, it is here that the center of the earth is located.
The name of the city recorded the fact that previously, mere mortals were prohibited from entering here. The most curious were punished, death was cruel and painful. The emperor's family and attendants lived in the palace, for whom an exception was made. Now the palace complex houses the Imperial Museum, which retained the name of the palace, but admits everyone here.
Dragon Ride
Tourists who decide to vacation in China in the first summer month will be very lucky. Already on June 2, the Duan-wu Jie festival is celebrated throughout the country, one of the three largest Chinese events. He also has other names like the Day of the Poet or the Holiday of the Double Five, where the date is encrypted - the fifth month of the lunar calendar, the fifth day.
The main events of the festival are boat races. In this case, the boats should resemble dragons. The second tradition associated with this holiday is throwing rice into the water, and at first the rice was placed in bamboo circles. Time has made its own adjustments - and now rice is dipped into the water, which is wrapped in reed leaves and tied with colored thread.
