It's very difficult to depend on the weather at my village because it changes a lot. Compared to villages like Heyu, Haogou or Changcheng, it's really very windy. You can't plan to have a trip very easily, even in summer---it might snow! From time to time, you get several days of good weather. Everybody loves it! But usually, there's a great deal of snow, especially in winter. It doesn't rain at all but people always hope it'll rain in July and October.

Dear
It's good to hear that you may want to visit China. I think the best time to come is February.
It's usually cold but there may be some snow. And it might be cold, so bring a overcoat. Best of all, there won't be so many visitors. Make sure you bring a digital camera. You may like to take lots of photos, the best time to take photos. You won't have to pay much for it. When you arrive in Beijing you might like to buy a handphone to make a telephone call or receive a telephone call. I hope this is useful.
Yours truly,
Fan Xueli,
China Tourist Office
