Currently, it is so early to tell the exact weather in July this year, because it is so early. Generally speaking, that time is the local summer time with average temperature is around 27t o 36C based on the previous records.

Since you only have two days, you can suggested to visit the SX city only. In this city, you can see the East Lake, Former Residence of Lu Xun, Shen Garde and Zhuji City. After that, you can visit the Anchang Ancient Town if you still have enough time.

It is safe at night and day time, so please do not worry.

The distance between Dongguan and SX is around 1300 to 1400km by road. To Suzhou, there is around 200km.

Hope these information can help you ~
