Kunming Weather in January
January is not a very cold month in Kunming, and Kunming is called "Spring City" all year round. In January, the minimum temperature is 2 °C (36 °F) and the maximum temperature is 16 °C (61 °F). Generally, a coat with a thin woolen sweater is suitable during the day. However, given the large temperature difference between day and night, bring more warm clothing. Rainy days are less, so the weather is dry. The sunshine is strong, and when you go out use sunscreen.
January is a festive season in China. Chinese New Year (the Spring Festival) takes places at the end of this month or in early to mid February. There are many cultural activities in the streets. In addition to the Spring Festival, the annual Jinlin Temple Fair is held at Jinlin Park on the ninth of the first month in the Chinese lunar calendar. At this time, specialty and local foods are offered at the fair, as well as many artistic activities in the park. You can taste delicious local food while enjoying art performances.
In the Spring Festival period, additional flights are available to meet the demand. But be sure to book your tickets in advance. If you are planning to visit Kunming in January, see our Kunming tours or have us tailor-make a tour to Kunming for you. See our Kunming Tours.
