Daylight hours are quite limited, at only 11 on average. The sunrise is late at 06:45-07:04, and the sunset is early at 17:48-17:57. If you have many destinations to explore, you may need to extend your stay in the purpose of a leisurely journey.
However, you could enjoy many sunny moments during your trip: the sunshine hours average about 5 per day. Besides, with a maximum UV index of 7, you don’t need to worry about getting sunburn this month.
Crowds: Traveling to Yangshuo this month, you won’t have to worry about encountering crowds, because it is Yangshuo’s slack season. At the same time, the prices of plane tickets and hotels will be quite low.
Scenery: This month, the scenery of Yangshuo is still relatively attractive. Yangshuo’s vegetation no longer boasts the lush and emerald green of summer, yet it turns a deep verdure that lends a sense of quiet solitude. Water levels may drop, which depends on the specific precipitation conditions of the year. In November of some years, the Li River may have rocky shoals appear in some sections, which actually demonstrates a unique view but may limit the navigable areas of cruise boats. The Yulong River basically retains its scenic beauty, and bamboo rafting remains unaffected.
Clothes for the First Half Month: In the daytime, it’s still OK to wear T-shirts plus thin long pants or long dresses. However, at night, you need to put on hoodies or single-layer jackets.
Clothes for the Second Half Month: At that time, even the daytime feels a bit cool, and you are recommended to wear short-sleeved or long-sleeved T-shirts plus thin jackets as the upper, and sweatpants or jeans as the bottom. When going out at night, thicker jackets like trench coats plus hoodies are more recommended. Since the weather of Yangshuo is unstable during this period, you can also bring a windbreaker, which may also be needed if you plan to sightsee by electric bicycle.
Shoes: Warm and comfortable sneakers or hiking shoes are essential, especially for those who plan to go hiking or biking. You can also consider bringing waterproof shoe covers, which can protect your shoes on rainy days.
Others: Be sure to bring an umbrella or a portable raincoat.
