What to Wear in Xi'an in April

In early April, T-shirts with light jackets suffice. However, as it becomes warmer in mid-April, one can just put on a long-sleeved shirt. By late April, it might become rather hot and thus summer clothes are advisable. Temperature varies within a day, so remember to prepare yourself to cope with the changing weather. If you plan to go mountain climbing, get ready warmer clothing for the cooler climate.

Where to Go in Xi'an in April

April is a great time for a spring outing. You should not miss the Xi'an Botanical Garden, where all kinds of tulips are contending in beauty and fascination. Some mountains and forest parks in the southern suburbs of Xi'an are also popular in April. The South Wutai Mountain which is said to be one of the Buddhist shrines deserves a visit, too. If you love climbing mountains, Mt. Huashan and Cuihua Mountain are considerable destinations.

Other Tips

When planning for a suburban outing, always check ahead the weather forecast and put on proper clothing and shoes. You’d better put on some sun-block cream and wear sunglasses to protect your skin and eyes too. Since drinks on the mountains might not be readily available and expensive, remember to bring along some water. After a day’s hiking in the mountains, it is highly recommended to try some fresh and delicious home-made food in the local farmers’ manors in the pleasant evening breeze.
