There is no obvious seasonal difference in Lijiang at all. Anytime is a good time to travel to Lijiang. The raining season is from June to October. But don’t get discouraged.  It is the best time for mushrooms!!! Yunnan is the plant kingdom of China. There are all kinds of delicious wild mushrooms here. They simply don’t grow anywhere else.  

Temperature difference is quite huge in LiJiang during the day. So make sure you bring enough clothing. I strongly recommend at least a wool sweater. If it is rain season, bring rain jacket. The average temperate for the entire year is between 12 to 20 Celsius. Because the weather does not change much, most of the places don’t have air condition units or heating systems. So can occasionally you can expect to get very hot or cold.

Sometime it snows in the winter. There is always snow on the “Jade Dragon Snow Mountain”.
