What to wear and bring

Early February
In the first ten days of early February, the weather is cold. You can wear warm and thick clothes, such as down jackets, warm sweaters and cozy woolen trousers. Don't forget to match them with scarves, gloves and warm hats. Non-slip and waterproof shoes are also essential to deal with the slippery roads caused by the rain.

Mid-February
From mid-February, the sky is overcast with light rain for most of the day. Therefore, it is wise to dress in layers. Wear a thin long-sleeved underwear first, then a medium-thick sweater. When it gets cooler outside, you can add a light jacket or a thin down jacket. During this time, carrying an umbrella or a light raincoat is a good way to deal with the rain.

Late February
You can wear thermal underwear, a sweater and a jacket or a light down jacket as an outer layer to keep you warm and allow for easy movement. Wear non-slip boots or sneakers. Scarves, hats and gloves are good accessories to keep you warm in cold weather. It is recommended to bring rain gear in case of rain.

Activities and Festivals

The Spring Festival in China falls in February. When you come to visit Chongqing in February, you can feel the strong atmosphere of the Spring Festival. Due to the cold weather and rainy days, you can choose to visit indoor scenic spots. For example, the Luo Zhongli Art Museum is not only a space for art exhibitions, but also a complex integrating art education, academic research and cultural exchanges. There is also the Chongqing Three Gorges Museum, which is of great significance in inheriting history and spreading culture. It is an ideal place to have an in-depth understanding of the cultural context of Chongqing and the Three Gorges region.
