Q: Chloe Asked on 2012-11-13 Reply
I am visiting Shanghai from the 16th of November to the 25th of November. May I ask if bringing a winter coat (the fluffy, downy ones) is appropriate, or is it too much?
Hi Chloe. In late November，the average high temperature and low temperature are 15 °C (59 °F) and 7 °C (45 °F). There is a big gap in temperature between day and night. It is advisable to take a winter coat. Beyond that, some other winter clothes like sweaters are also recommended. Annie Replied on 2012-11-15

Dear Pooja, Thanks for your question. My name is Nancy Deng. I am a travel advisor at China Highlights. I see that the Shanghai Bauma fair held from Nov. 27th to Nov.30th, the average temperature in Shanghai is around 2℃(35.6℉) to 11℃(51.8℉) and around 0℃(32℉) to 9℃(48.2℉) in Beijing. You are suggested to wear wart coats during that time. It takes 2 hours and 15 minute flying from Shanghai to Beijing or vice versa. If you would like to visit Beijing after this fair, it is suggested you leave 3-4 days in Beijing for sightseeing. Please click following links about hotels and tours in Beijing for your reference. As a travel advisor at China Highlight, I glad to arrange tours for you as per your request. Please feel free contact me at nancy@chinahighlights.net if you need any tour arrangement. It is my pleasure to assist you in planning your trip to China.
