Q: What kind of clothes should I bring for my China tour? A: In spring (March to May) and autumn (September to November) you will need a linen jacket or woolen sweater over light clothing. In summer (June to August) cool cotton garments are recommended. In winter (December to February) a light cotton-patted coat will keep you warm enough in the south; but in the north a heavy woolen coat or parka is a must. Late spring and late summer are often rainy, especially in the southern part of China, so it would be wise to bring some wet weather gear with you. Besides, good walking shoes are essential at any time of the year. |
