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.
Most of the eastern part, south of the Yangtze is not "bitterly cold and dry in the winter." More like mild and wet.
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.
I think Taiwan has some awesome climates with wonderfully lush subtropical vegetation most places people live... it's hot and humid in summer but most places I imagine have A/C which is helpful. At least that is how it was when I was in Hong Kong which I imagine isn't all that different from cities in Taiwan.
Kaohsiung is the best climate in Taiwan IMO.
See what you think after spending a winter in Harbin, Manchuria. Or the higher elevations in Tibet.
