Chengdu Weather in March

International Peach Blossom Festival

The weather is warming up during March, with an average high temperature of 16 °C (61 °F ) and an average low temperature of 9 °C (46 °F ). Some days are still cool, and occasionally get cold . The rains still fall, and on average the days are not too dry. Long trousers with a coat and a sweater are generally enough, but bring a thick coat if you go out at night. March is a good month for traveling, as flowers begin to bloom at the end of the month. A good place to see flowers in the city is during Dragon Spring, where the International Peach Blossom Festival is held. Here, you can see beautiful peach blossoms and enjoy a nice variety of art shows and flower exhibitions .

The city experiences the first peak traveling period starting in March, and large crowds begin to fill tourist attractions. Hotel rooms and flight tickets may be more expensive than usual. If you go during this time, please prepare in advance. See our Chengdu Tours.
