Editorial snapshot
Flying into Hangzhou rewards those who book at least six to eight weeks ahead, particularly around October's Golden Week when the autumn colours peak and fares jump sharply. Budget travellers find the city punches well above its price point. It suits the culturally curious traveller who wants a slower, more contemplative China than Shanghai offers, without sacrificing modern infrastructure.
Score based on FlyFairly booking data and editorial review, 2026
October is Hangzhou's sweet spot: the West Lake autumn foliage peaks, temperatures are crisp and comfortable, and the city looks its best. The catch is Golden Week (first week of October) pushes fares and crowds to their annual high. Book eight or more weeks ahead for autumn, or aim for February to April for budget fares and quieter streets.
| Month | Price Band | Demand | Travel note |
|---|---|---|---|
| January | Budget | Low | Cold and quiet; Chinese New Year timing varies, check dates. |
| February | Peak | High | Chinese New Year travel surge; book at least 10 weeks ahead. |
| March | Mid | Medium | Spring blossoms begin; pleasant temperatures around West Lake. |
| April | Mid | Medium | Longjing tea harvest season; popular with domestic visitors. |
| May | Mid | Medium | Labour Day holiday (1 May) causes brief domestic fare spike. |
| June | Budget | Low | Rainy season begins; fewer crowds, lower fares. |
| July | Mid | Medium | Hot and humid; summer school holidays increase domestic demand. |
| August | Mid | Medium | Peak summer heat; typhoon risk possible, check forecasts. |
| September | Mid | Medium | Temperatures ease; early autumn colour starts late in the month. |
| October | Peak | High | Golden Week (1-7 Oct) is the busiest and most expensive period. |
| November | Mid | Medium | Post-Golden Week calm; good value with lingering autumn colour. |
| December | Budget | Low | Cool and quiet; West Lake in winter mist is atmospheric. |
