Hello there! My daughter and I would like to visit Shanghai. It has always attracted us as the largest Chinese city. On one hand, we would like to meet the ancient aspect of the city and, on the other we would like to visit its cosmopolitan aspect of a metropolis. We don't know what the best season of the year for visiting Shanghai is. What's the weather like there in September?

Shanghai climate is divided into four seasons. The winters can be very cold. The coldest months are January and February. Summers can be very hot. The hottest months are July and August. The most pleasant time to visit Shanghai is spring and autumn. June is an ideal month for visiting this city. However, the climate in Shanghai is generally moderate with lots of moisture. I don't know whether it would be clever to go there in September. The first three weeks of September are traditionally remembered by the people living there as the typhoon weeks. The period is marked by heavy rains brought by strong typhoons. But the temperature in September is very pleasant.

Shanghai is one of my favorite cities around the world. In this city European style buildings can be seen position beside typical Chinese structures and ancient temples. There are lots of places like Yu Garden, Shanghai Museum, Oriental Pearl Tower or Jinmao Tower and The Former French Concession are the top attraction of Shanghai.
Moreover, Shanghai weather in September is slightly cooler and temperature is approximately 21°C to 27°C reaches.
