On the one hand, Jinan weather in October is favorable for travel. On the other hand, late October is the best time throughout the year to visit the “Spring City” as it’s the high flow period of springs and the city has adorned with beautiful autumn scenes with dazzling red, orange and yellow leaves. Late October is an intriguing time for the charm of seasonal conversion.
  Clothes: You need shirts in the beginning of October while in mid-to-late month, a hoodie, cardigan or sweater paired with a thick jacket or a trench coat can always be seen on the street. To be on the safe side, a light down coat should be packed, too, in case of the rainfall bringing down the temperature significantly. For the bottom, a pair of fleece-lined pants or thick trousers keeps your lower body warm.

 Shoes: Prepare lightweight sneakers for long time walking.

A short hiking trip is the best way to explore the Buddhist mountain wearing autumn fineries in late October. The foot path on the ridge offers the best view of red leaves all over the mountainside. During sunset, you may have the the bird view of the city under the red sunset glow and clouds on the mountaintop. Also, there is the red leaves corridor with a length of 400m (440ft) near the south gate for photography. 
 National Day Holiday is absolutely the not-go time. The influx of tourists may strain hotels to the limit and add to the chaotic conditions of the overcrowded scenic spots. In 2026, it falls in October 1st to 7th.
