China's climate ranges from year-round tropical heat in Hainan to Siberian conditions in the far north and typical desert weather in the far west.

In winter, most parts of China would be in a cold winter days, especially more so in the northern parts. So it is advisable to wear layers of garments, normally, thermal or silk underwear with a sweater and padded jacket outside. Padded jackets and wool-lined boots are one of the best buys in China.

For travel during spring or summer, your clothing should be casual and designed for comfort, without being too revealing. Take light cotton clothes that are easily washed and not too delicate. Trousers are still necessary for women traveling to China, since many temples are forbidden to those who wear skirts.

For travel during the rainy season, from May to August, a raincoat is necessary.
