Hi, I will be in Beijing this October. I would like to know what to wear if I were to climb the Great Wall in Jinshanling to Simatai? And any ideas what to wear on the day and night for a solo lady in Beijing?

Hi, Rechael,

Thank you very much for your enquiry.

According to the temperature record in Beijing, the highest average temperature in Beijing is 19 degrees centigrade and the lowest average temperature is 8 degrees centigrade. Only few rains in Autumn of Beijing. In the day time, the temperature is around 23-25 degrees centigrade if it is a sunny day. Sometimes, it will be higher. At night, it is around 5-8 degress centigrade.

Generally speaking, when you travel to Beijing in this season, some light jackets need to prepare. If you travel at the end of october, thicker jacket is also need to take with you to avoid any changes on the weather. At day time, you could ware a T-shirt if you adapt to cold weather. If not, one long-sleeve thin shirt will be ok.

For hiking from Jingshanling Great Wall to Simatai, as Great Wall are in rural area and on the mountain, the temperature will be a bit lower than that in downtown. Before you start treking on the great wall and after the treking, you might need to wear a light jacket. During the hiking or walking, you will feel a bit hot. I think T-shirt will be ok, but it depends.

During hiking, a pair of comfortable climbing shoes is necessary and do not forget your cap with you.

Hope the above is clear and helpful.

Should you have any questions, please do not hesitate to let us know.

Best regards
