The South — pleasant cool weather— Guilin, Nanning, Hainan, Guangzhou, Hong Kong…

South China generally has pleasant winter with plentiful sunshine, but Guilin feels cold because of high humidity although it almost never freezes. It rains 16 days of the month, but warmly dressed, you can enjoy your time at the attractions and on the river cruise.

In Hong Kong in January, the weather is pleasant and mild. January is the driest month of the year, so sightseeing is all the easier and more enjoyable under the sun.

Clothing: A thin coat or jacket and rain gear are enough.
