Weather and Clothing;

* Chongqing, Wuhan, Nanchang and Tianjing are the so called, “four furnaces” of China during summer which should be refrained from traveling.

* You have to make sure that you bring with you clothing appropriate for China’s four seasons: Spring from March to May, Summer from June to August, Autumn from September to November, and Winter from January to February.

* Summer is also rainy season in China, a raincoat is essential during this time as umbrellas are usually defenseless against winds.

* Chinese are conservative people so try not to wear revealing clothing.

* Since women are not allowed to wear skirts when visiting Chinese temples, they should remember to bring slacks.

What to Bring into China;
