Xiamen Weather in January

Spring Festival Market, Xiamen

In Xiamen, January is the second coldest month of the year after February. During this month, the maximum temperature is 17°C (63°F) and the minimum temperature is 10 °C (50 °F). The weather is cool, with more sunshine, less clouds and mist, strong winds, and little rain, making it cold and dry in January.

If you are outside, wear a sweater, coat, and scarf to avoid catching a cold. Ultraviolet radiation is weak and you can go outside without putting on any skin protection.

January is a festive month in China, as Chinese New Year (also called the Spring Festival) falls on the first day of the first month of the lunar calendar. All around Xiamen are many cultural activities in the streets, allowing you to experience the festive January atmosphere. However, throughout the country, it is also the busiest time to travel because trains and flights are fully booked days before departure. If you plan to visit Xiamen in January, please book your ticket in advance to avoid missing your desired departure. See our Xiamen tours.
