What to Wear/Bring for a March Beijing Trip

Clothing: Wearing a sweater and an overcoat is usually enough, but bring gloves and a hat too, and maybe windproof trousers, as it can feel much colder with the wind chill. You may be able to wear just a light windproof jacket, if the weather warms up.

Things to Do in Beijing in March

1.Walk on the Great Wall

The Great Wall in SpringThe Great Wall in spring

Spring is a good time to visit the Great Wall, which is full of vigor, with green plants and blossoming flowers. We recommend you visit the Great Wall at Mutianyu. It is ranked top among all parts of the Great Wall for its picturesque scenery, fewer tourists, and beautifully restored architecture.

Pack a warm jacket as the mountains are cooler than in the city, especially in the mornings and evenings.
