Similar to most countries in the world, winter in China usually refers to the three coldest months of a year, including December, January and February.

Winter in China is mostly colder and dryer than the rest seasons of a year. The winter temperature is getting lower from south to north China, caused by the winter monsoon. With per latitude rises, the temperature will reduce 1.5 ℃, and the gap can be up to 50 ℃, making the northern China has more colder days than southern China.

The northern China areas encounter cold weather firstly and the chilly cold feeling lasts much longer than southern areas. The daytime is much shorter and the night time is longer with a largely dramatic temperature change, especially when it’s sunny. Featuring much mountain areas, the southern China hasn’t the extremely changes between daytime and night, by blocking much of cold air influence.

Although winter is the coldest period of time in China in general, it doesn’t means all the cities in China share the same kind of cold or cool. It is freezing in its northeastern region, and cold in its middle part. However, it is warm in its south. Therefore, the clothing and packing suggestions vary according to where you go in the country. Normally, layers are essential for winter in China.

In places like Harbin, Jilin, Mohe in the northeast region, you are suggested to wear sweaters, long underwear, windproof or down jacket, anti-slip snow boot, warm hats, scarves, and all the other necessary thermal clothing.

And in North and Northwest China, such as in Beijing and Xian, long underwear, long pants, fleeces, down jacket and warm hat are also recommended.

If you are going to visit Chengdu and Shanghai which are slightly warmer, a heavy base layer, long jeans, sweaters plus a windproof jacket or down jacket are usually enough.

Southern China is warm, and the farther south you go, the less harsh the weather is in winter. In Guangzhou, Hong Kong and Shenzhen, some of the southernmost cities, long sleeves and pants, as well as a light jacket should suffice to keep you comfortable.

China Winter Tour Tips

1. Make sure to check the weather forecast and plan ahead for your China winter tour.

2. During Chinese New Year (or called Spring Festival), the grandest festival in China which often happen at the end of January or the early February, you will get the strongest festival atmosphere in China but also meet with busy crowds, which is the busiest thought the entire winter. The price of accommodation and flight may be raised at that time. Book flights, hotels, and tours in advance, and thus you may save a lot of money. This rule also fits other popular winter festivals like Harbin Snow & Ice Festival. Check all China Winter Events & Festivals if you are interested.

3. Although the north of China is much colder than the warm south, all the rooms there offers comfortable indoor heating.
