What cloth should I pack?
It is depending on the time and destinations you will be visiting in China.
Spring (March to May) and autumn (September to November) are not very cold and not very hot. It is the very comfortable season. You need shirts and light sweaters in most of China, but heavy jackets if you are traveling in the northern part of China. In winter (December to February), it is freezing cold in north China. You will need a down coat. In southern part of China is not as cold as that in north but it is bleak. Heave cold is also needed, except in Sanya, where is belong to tropic climate.
Summer (June-August) is hot and T-shirt is suitable for most area. If you go to high altitude area such Tibet, Kunming, Lijiang and Shangri-la, over clothes are needed.
Comfortable shoes are also very important. If you are going to be doing a lot of climbing, shoes with high sides and a hard sole will be the best choice. If you will only visit big cities, low- heeled light shoes will be very comfortable.
