This period coincides with the harvest season for Feicheng peaches, meaning you'll experience the fruit at its freshest and find the most peach-related activities and products. The weather is pleasant, with warm days and cool evenings. Spring (April to May) is also nice, with mild temperatures and peach blossoms in bloom, though the fruit itself is not yet ripe.

Local Insights & Tips
Feicheng's culture is closely tied to agriculture, with a strong sense of community and tradition. Respect for elders and family is important. Meals are social affairs, with dishes shared communally. When dining, it's polite to try a bit of everything offered. The pace of life is slower than in China's megacities. While not a major international tourist destination, locals are typically curious and friendly towards visitors. Tipping is not customary in China. When giving or receiving items, use both hands as a sign of respect, especially with older people or in formal situations.
