I believe the diversity of climates in China is generally underrated, it is one of the countries (with the US) that has the largest array of climates, from tundra down to wet tropical.
Only the South of China (South of the Tropic of Cancer) has a tropical climate, so a very small chunk of the country. But China has all kinds of climates, save equatorial and temperate/cold oceanic.
Interesting? Extreme heat and humidity for like 7 months every year then gets colder and rainy for the rest 5, with occasional typhoons striking and nasty **** brought down by wind from China.
Many westerners just assume China is a subtropical, humid country with rice terraces.
The truth is most of China is bitterly cold and dry in winter, and more than half of the country is not suitable for rice to grow. In old days, people in north China barely ate any rice.
China's climate in general is very diverse, but due to the population distribution (90% of population on the east 1/3 of the country), its diversity is underrated.
That being said, I can't say any part of China has "great" climate, in the sense of being mild and sunny all year around like the Mediterranean climate (like coastal California or Southern France). Most Chinese actually live under pretty bad climate. The heat in the summer is especially unbearable.
