What's the weather like year-round?
Understanding Yangshuo’s weather will help you pack smart and train comfortably throughout the year.
Seasonal Guide
☀️ Summer (June–September)
Hot, humid, and sweaty. Training in 30+°C with high humidity can feel like doing Tai Chi in a sauna. Luckily, Master Kim has installed two huge air conditioners in the dojo to keep things bearable. You’ll still sweat, but at least you won’t melt.
🍂 Autumn (October–November)
Still warm, less humid, and very pleasant for training. This is often considered the ideal time to visit.
❄️ Winter (December–February)
Cold and damp. There’s no central heating in most buildings, so pack layers. Think hoodies, sweaters, and maybe even thermal underwear if you don’t like the chill.
🌸 Spring (March–May)
Mild and fresh, sometimes rainy, with lots of green everywhere. Nature comes alive during this beautiful season.
