Great Wall in Snow

Typically, you can exclude rainy days from your trip by checking the weather forecast ahead of time. But even if you don’t do that and get a wet day during your stay, the little rain this month will not have much of an impact on your trip. And as for the snow, instead of interfering with your trip, it makes the attractions more beautiful.
 November is the transition period between autumn and winter in Beijing, with relatively frequent and strong northern or northwestern winds. The wind may bring a cold wave on the one hand, and make the apparent temperature colder on the other hand. Therefore, you may need to bring some windproof items when traveling to Beijing this month.
 This month, the average daytime in Beijing drops to around 10 hours, from sunrise at around 07:00 to sunset at around 17:00. The average hours of sunshine per day are 6. Due to this, most of the attractions will shorten their opening hours. Either the opening time becomes later or the closing time becomes earlier. Therefore, plan your trip carefully to make full use of the time. This month, the effect of ultraviolet rays is negligible.
