Before choosing where to stay
Getting Around
The built-up area is extensive, so allow extra time for inter-district travel. Public transport and taxis are available, but ride-hailing apps offer efficient connectivity between major commercial hubs and tourist sites.
Best Season
Spring and autumn offer pleasant weather for walking and food tours. Summers are humid, while mild winters are comfortable for experiencing local tea culture and street food without extreme heat.
