It belongs to a typical warm temperate semi-humid continental monsoon climate with four distinct seasons. Spring flowers, autumn moon, summer rain and winter snow have their own characteristics. The annual average temperature is 1 1.8℃, the coldest is 1.6℃, the hottest is July, and the monthly average is 26. 1℃. Beijing has shorter spring and autumn seasons and longer winter, with an average annual precipitation of 644 mm and a frost-free period of 180 days. Although the winter in Beijing is very long, the indoor heating equipment is very good and warm as spring. Because of the great temperature difference between indoor and outdoor, you should take sweaters and cotton-padded clothes when you travel to Beijing in winter.

Newspapers, radio stations and TV stations in Beijing all have weather forecast columns and explanations, so please pay attention. You can also call 859, which provides the weather forecast for the same day and the next day in Chinese and English.

But most of Beijing's tourism projects are cultural relics, scenic buildings and folk customs. These projects are not affected by the climate, and you can go to Beijing all year round. Travel agencies and restaurants in Beijing have off-season prices in winter, which can save a lot.

Lao She's former residence "Stan Courtyard" is located at No.8 Xiaoyangjia Hutong in Xicheng District (formerly No.5 Xiaoyangquan Hutong). Lao She was born in one of the three rooms in No.8 North House of Xiaoyangjia Hutong. The courtyard is long from east to west and narrow from north to south, and basically remains the same. Lao She once described this hutong in the novel Four Generations under One roof. Lao She (1899- 1966), formerly known as Shu Qingchun, was a Beijinger. A famous modern writer, he used to be a primary school principal, a middle school teacher and a university professor. During the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression period, he presided over the work of the All-China Anti-Japanese Federation of Literary and Art Circles and made positive contributions to uniting the broad masses of literary and art workers to participate in anti-Japanese propaganda. After liberation, he served as vice chairman of the China Federation of Literary and Art Circles, vice chairman of the Chinese Writers Association and chairman of the Beijing Federation of Literary and Art Circles. 1951February was awarded the title of "People's Artist" by the Beijing Municipal People's Government. Lao She created many well-known literary works in his life, such as Four Generations under One roof, Camel Xiangzi, Teahouse and Longxugou. "Stan Courtyard" was purchased by Lao She after 1950 returned to the United States. It's an old quadrangle in Beijing, with a small black door facing west and a small courtyard with only two south rooms. To the west is Sanjin Courtyard, which is the main part of the former residence: East and West Wings, which are now turned into exhibition rooms. From the first novel "Jason Chung" to the last unfinished autobiographical novel "Under the Red Flag", Mr. Lao She's works of different versions in different periods are gathered together, which reproduces his life's creative achievements. There are three rooms in the north and one wing in the left and right, which are now displayed in their original state, showing the original appearance of Mr. Wang's life in those days. There is a living room between Ming and Xi Ci. In this small living room, many cultural celebrities are gathered. Premier Zhou has been here three times, sitting on the sofa near the west and having a cordial conversation with her husband. The east room is the bedroom. The west wing is Lao She's study and studio. This study is small and simple. On the marble desk inlaid with hardwood, there are also several pieces of Lao She's favorite wenwan: the seal carved by Qi Baishi for him, the jade inkstone box given to him by General Feng Yuxiang, and the "Li Weng Li Yu calligraphy and painting inkstone" in Qing Dynasty. It was in this small room that Lao She wrote a large number of Quyi, essays, papers, poems and essays from Longxugou, Teahouse and 1950 to 1966. Lao She likes growing flowers. When you are tired of writing, go to the yard to enjoy flowers. He also planted persimmon trees in the yard. The green leaves are covered with red persimmons, which are poetic and picturesque, hence the name courtyard. This is the Lao She Memorial Hall, which is the home of Lao She who was born in Beijing, grew up in Beijing and wrote about Beijing all his life.
