Direct answer

Pack for temperate — warm summers (25-33°c), cold winters (-3 to 8°c). Comfortable walking shoes, adaptable layers and weather protection should reflect the exact season and activities planned.

What to know

  • The preferred travel period is April (peony festival) or September-October.
  • Keep essential medicine, documents and one useful layer in carry-on or day baggage.
  • Longmen Grottoes: visit in the morning, then return at night for illumination
