Hangzhou Weather in March

March marks the start of spring, with warming temperatures and blooming flowers, but it's also one of the rainiest months. The scenery around West Lake becomes lush and colorful. It's a beautiful but often wet time to visit.

Pack layers, a waterproof jacket, and an umbrella. Comfortable walking shoes are essential for exploring gardens and lakeside paths. A light sweater is useful for cooler mornings and evenings.

Expect frequent rain, so plan indoor backups like tea museums or silk markets. Weekends can be busy with domestic tourists enjoying spring blooms. Try to visit popular spots early in the morning to avoid crowds.
