February remains cool and damp, with occasional fog. Temperatures slowly rise toward the end of the month, but winter clothing is still necessary. Tourist crowds can be high during Chinese New Year, so expect busy attractions and higher prices if your visit coincides with the holiday.
Warm layers, a waterproof jacket, and comfortable walking shoes. An umbrella is a must for sudden showers. Consider a hat and gloves for chilly evenings.
Book hotels and trains well in advance if traveling during Chinese New Year. Many shops and restaurants close for a few days. The Lantern Festival (15th day of Lunar New Year) features lantern displays and tangyuan (sweet rice balls).
