Beijing Weather in February

Beijing New Year decoration

Chinese New Year decoration, Beijing

The coldest month has gone, but spring is still around two months away. The weather is still cold, but warmer than January. Temperatures don’t get much above freezing, and it is very dry. A thick sweater and a cotton-padded coat are enough in general.  The city's ski season usually ends at the end of the month. Beijing sees the year's first sandstorms in this month. The city has been frequently hit by sandstorms in spring in recent years.

The Chinese New Year (Spring Festival) may fall in early or mid February. This is the best time of the year to experience authentic Chinese culture. However, the Spring Festival period is the busiest travel time around the country when trains and flights are fully booked days before departure. See Chinese New Year Travel Guide.
