Chengdu Weather in February

February remains cool and damp, though temperatures slowly rise. Overcast skies dominate, and rain is frequent but light. It's a transitional month, with occasional plum blossoms. Tourist crowds can be high during Chinese New Year.

Bring warm, layered clothing, a waterproof jacket, and comfortable walking shoes. An umbrella is essential. Include a hat and gloves for early mornings and evenings.

Chinese New Year often falls in February, bringing massive crowds and higher prices. Book trains and hotels well in advance. Many shops and restaurants close for several days; plan accordingly.
