Tips for Fujian Weather
•Best season to visit Fujian:
The best time to travel in Fujian is in autumn and winter, especially September to December. Spring (March to May) in Fujian generally is rainy season, while summer (June to August) in Fujian is too hot. The autumn months between September and November have the best weather and fewer tourists while winter in Fujian is not too cold.

Overall, however, Fujian can be a perfect place to go all the year round.

•Clothes for travelling:
Mostly, it is sunny in summer in Fujian, and some parts of Fujian will appear extremely high temperature in July and August, so be sure to wear nice and cool clothes. In autumn, you just need to put on unlined clothes or thin sweater. Winter is not too cold, so you need to take your sweatet or outerwear. 

•Avoid Peak Holidays:
It is not a good idea to travel in China during Chinese holidays when huge numbers of Chinese people are travelling around. The busiest three national holidays in China are Chinese Spring Festival (usually in late Jan or early Feb.), International Labor Day (May 01 to 03) and National Day (Oct 01-07). Spring Festival is an especially crowded time to travel. The advantage of being in China at this time is that you will get the opportunity to experience "first hand" the significance of these celebrations in Chinese culture. 

•Other Tips: 
1. In spring, an umbrella should be carried in case of rainfall.
2. In summer, sun-glasses and sun-block cream are advised to protect you from high UV.
3. Summer, especially in July and August, is the typhoon season, so please avoid going out when the typhoon comes. You had better stay in the room until the typhoon warning lifted.
