Wenzhou Travel Tips


When to Go

Influenced by the subtropical monsoon climate, Wenzhou has four distinctive seasons yet temperatures remain mild throughout the year. On average, temperatures in January are around 5C-10C (41F-50F) while temperatures in July are usually between 27C and 30C (80F-86F). Although Wenzhou is pleasant all year long, as summer approaches, the city enters its rainy season. Tropical storms are most common between July and September. It is advisable to check weather forecasts before you plan your trip.

Each year, between September and October, Wenzhou locals hold their Golden Autumn Cultural Festival. The festival is held around Jiangxinyu Island in the Lucheng district, and features traditional performances, magnificent light shows, and colorful fireworks. If you plan to visit around August 15th of the Chinese lunar calendar, you will have the good fortune of witnessing the music and poetry of the traditional Mid-Autumn Festival. Additionally, visitors can shop for handicrafts and delicious food throughout the city. Keep in mind that shopping centers often extend business hours and offer special promotions during festivals.
