Shijiazhuang has a temperate, monsoon climate with four distinct seasons and an average annual temperature of 14.2
C (57.56
F). The region has hot summers and cold winters; in June the average monthly temperature can reach around 26.5
C (79.7
F) (so it is recommended that you bring sufficient supplies of sunscreen and water, and also eat plenty of fresh fruits), while in January it can reach a low of around -2.9
C (26.78
F). It is therefore recommended that tourists planning on visiting Shijiazhuang do so in the autumn, when the temperature lies at a happy medium between the two extremes.
The city's nearby mountains, however, remain a rewarding sight for visitors throughout the year: flowers reach full-bloom in spring; the forests are at their most verdant during the summer; the trees' golden leaves cover the mountain side during autumn; while in winter the snow-capped mountains will have many a visitor looking on in awe.
