TTDI covers 3 cities in China. Beijing, Hangzhou, and Shanghai each carry 44 published pages of guides and answers, an identical count across the board.

For choosing where to start in China, the measured climate spread narrows the choice. Beijing in January averages a high of 2°C with 1 rain day. Cold, dry air. Hangzhou in August reaches 35°C with 16 rain days. Thick heat, frequent rain. If you're planning a winter trip, Beijing's 44 pages are the natural starting point. Summer travelers will likely open Hangzhou's page first. Shanghai carries the same 44-page depth and works well as a starting point in any month.
The seasonal range runs from Beijing's January high of 2°C to Hangzhou's August high of 35°C. Beijing records 1 rain day in January. Hangzhou records 16 in August.
Beijing's January high of 2°C with 1 rain day and Hangzhou's August high of 35°C with 16 rain days mark the cold-dry and hot-wet ends of China's recorded range.
