Lijiang Weather in October

October is dry and comfortable, with clear skies and cool temperatures. It's one of the best months to visit, but also the busiest due to Golden Week.

Bring layers, as mornings and evenings are chilly. A warm jacket, long pants, and comfortable shoes are recommended. Sunscreen for high-altitude sun.

Golden Week is extremely crowded; book everything in advance. After the first week, crowds thin out, making it an ideal time to visit.
