Editorial snapshot
Flying to Nanjing rewards the traveller who books early and travels in October, when the city is at its most golden and fares are still reasonable. It suits history lovers, food-focused travellers, and anyone who wants a major Chinese city without the tourist density of Beijing or Shanghai. International connections nearly always require a hub stop, so build in connection time and watch for Golden Week blackout dates.
Score based on Laters booking data and editorial review, 2026
October is the sweet spot for Nanjing: the summer humidity has broken, the foliage on Purple Mountain turns copper and gold, and fares have not yet spiked for the winter holiday season. Avoid Golden Week in early October for crowds, and steer clear of July and August when heat and humidity are both punishing.
