2. April is the beginning of the rainy season, but the rain mostly falls in the form of drizzles, rarely affecting your outdoor travel plans. 
3. April is one of the best times to visit Guilin, with warm temperatures, misty natural views and lighter foot traffic. You are advised to avoid the crowded Qingming Festival Holiday in early April. 
 In April, temperatures in Guilin gradually rise, making outdoor explorations very comfortable for tourists. The daily high temperature typically ranges from 21 to 29 degrees Celsius (70-84 degrees Fahrenheit), while early mornings and late evenings tend to be cooler, with daily lows of 12-19 degrees Celsius (54-66 degrees Fahrenheit). 

During some sunny hours in the mid-day period, you would even feel a little hot, with the highest temperature reaching 30-34°C (86-93°F). However, sometimes rainy days may bring a sudden temperature drop, with daytime high temperatures only 13-17°C (55-63°F). 

Besides, Guilin’s mountainous areas experience a relatively cooler climate than the city center, with daytime highs of 18-20°C (64-68°F) and lows of 10-13°C (50-55°F). Therefore, if you want to visit the Longji Tarrence or other attractions in the high-altitude areas in the early morning or late afternoon, don’t forget to pack extra outer layers to stay warm. 
 April marks the starting point of the rainy season in Guilin, with an average precipitation of 247 mm over 20 rainy days. In some years, April can even witness such a heavy rain volume of over 300 mm. The rain is usually in the form of drizzles that last for a relatively considerable period, which is typical of spring rain in Guilin. But don’t worry – drizzles usually don’t last for all day, unless cold air goes through sometimes. Moderate rain and heavy downpours occur occasionally. 

Substantial precipitation in April helps increase the river's width, making it look quite attractive. And drizzles usually won’t significantly impact water visibility. However, if heavy rain falls, it may stir up the river water, impairing the river’s scenic views and making boat travel potentially dangerous. 
 Considering the increasing rainfall in April, Guilin’s climate is quite humid, with an average humidity level of 81%. Despite that, mild temperatures ease the uncomfortable feelings. Instead, the fresh air is perfect for spring excursions. 
 Guilin in April enjoys ample daytime hours, about 13 hours on average. But you are still advised to plan your trips wisely and avoid packing your day too tightly, as Guilin’s famous attractions are scattered, and travelling between them is not particularly convenient. 

Although frequent drizzles cause short periods of sunshine – only 3 hours per day on average, you are still recommended to pay attention to sun protection, since the maximum UV Index reaches 11 this month. For visitors who are eager to catch a stunning sunset view, you should know the sunset time in April hovers between 18:55 and 19:08. You are recommended to reach the best viewing spots at least one hour earlier. In this way, you can appreciate the breathtaking beauty of the layered mountains against the orange-hued sky. Recommended places to enjoy sunset views include Yao Mountain, Longmen Bridge, and the Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains scenic area. 
 Definitely yes! Actually, April is one of the best months to explore the essence of Guilin. 

Guilin in April enjoys mild temperatures, with vegetation flourishing and flowers in bloom, which is perfect for various outdoor activities. The rainy season may impact your outdoor explorations to some extent, but drizzles add a misty and poetic quality to the landscape. Moreover, they also make the river views appear more expansive and majestic, ideal for photography. 

On the other hand, April is a shoulder travel season in Guilin. Most days in this month see moderate visitors, and lower hotel rates and airfares.
