Chengdu Weather in January

January is the coldest month in Chengdu. The average high temperature is around 10°C ( 50°F), and the average low temperature is 3°C (37°F ). Since Chengdu lies in the Szechu an Basin, the weather here is rather good. It seldom rains, making January is a relatively dry month with little sunshine, and the sky is always hazy . Prepare yourself and bring warm clothing such as a down coat, gloves, and a hat to stay warm if you go outdoors for long periods.
Some tourist resort such as Longchi National Forest Park and Xiling Snow Hill are good places for viewing the snow. Chinese New Year generally falls in late January, and this is the best time of the year to experience authentic Chinese culture if you don't mind the crowds. It is also the busiest travel time, and train tickets and flights are difficult to reserve. If you do travel during this time, make your arrangements in advance.
In the low travel season, few tourists visit Chengdu's tourist attractions. Good discounts on flights and hotel rooms are easily available. But be sure to plan ahead if you are traveling during the Chinese Spring Festival and Chinese New Year. See our Chengdu Tours.
