In late September, Dalian welcomes autumn and the cold weather begins to control this area. The average temperature drops down to around 15 to 20C (59 to 68F). Whilst tourist crowds retreat from the seashores, it is a perfect time for fishing as it is the migrating season for fish.

It will be cloudy then. The temperature will range from 35F to 50F. It is quite cold. Yes, the clothes will be okay. You should take an umbrella or raincoat in case of rain.

The city center is the Qingniwa Area. You may take metro line 2 from the airport to Qingniwa Bridge Station. Have fun! :)
