Guilin Weather in February

Snow scenery in Guilin in February

The coldest month has gone, but there are interval sharp rises and falls of temperature. Sometimes it is gloomy, but it is still very pleasant when the sun is out. Generally a thick cotton-padded coat and a thick sweater are enough to cope with the weather. Drizzles and fog make the scenery of Li River very enchanting, although the water level is relatively lower than usual.

Winter (November to March) is the low travel season, and traveling to Guilin is less crowded and it is cheaper than usual. Chinese New Year (Spring Festival) usually falls in early or mid-February, which is the best time to experience the authentic Chinese culture and see the cultural activities. However the Chinese New Year period is the busiest travel time all over the country, and transportation is fully booked and travel prices rise considerably. See Chinese New Year Travel Guide.

Hi I'm planning to visit Guilin in next week (feb 21-25). The weather indicates that there's a chance of rain. How bad is it? Raining all day? light rain?
Hi Kevin, You are right, the weather forecast indicates that it would rain next week. We have rains in these two days, most of the time they are light rains but they can last for a whole day. You may need an umbrella for the tour. Candy Wei Replied on 2011-02-16
