Zhangjiajie Weather in August

Fenghuang Ancient Town

Weather: August temperatures are almost the same as in July. The highest temperature is 33 °C (91 °F) and the lowest 23 °C (73 °F). It also rains a lot, but less than in July.

Clothing: Summer clothing is enough. If you want to go rafting on the river, bring a swimming costume. The sun is hot so wear sunglasses and a hat.

Things to do: Zhangjiajie is a good place to spend the summer holidays. Rafting on the river is a cool and thrilling summer activity in the area. The hot sun and relatively small amount of rain during August make it a good time for this popular water activity.

Low Season: August does not fall during the peak travel season. You can tour Zhangjiajie during the month without many crowds. Useful travel trips can be found through our Zhangjiajie Tours page on our website.

Hello, we are planning to go to Zhangjiajie at the end of August. Is the weather ok at that time? Could you advise on places to see when staying around for about a week? And what''s the easiest way to get from there to Yangshuo? Thanks in advance!
The temperature at Zhangjiajie at the end of Aug. is around 37℃/100℉ during the day time. Generally visitors will keep two days for Zhangjiajie National Park (one day for Jinbian Brook, one day for Tianzi Mountan), for the third day they could visit Tianmen Mountain in Zhangjiajie city. Some younth like to extend the journey (4-5 hours by bus) to Fenghuang ancient town. No train or bus from Yangshuo or Guilin to Zhangjiajie, you could take two hours bus to Liuzhou City, then take the train to Zhangjiajie 2012 (Dep. 21:09 -- Arr. next day 08:30). You could book the train tickets at China Highlights website for free (3-10 days before departure).http://www.chinahighlights.com/china-trains/ Karen Karen Yang Replied on 2012-08-02
