What to wear and bring

Early March
In March, the temperature in Chongqing starts to rise and it's okay to wear thermal underwear. As for outerwear, a thick coat is recommended for the cold mornings and evenings. In the warm noon hours, you can take off the thick outerwear, and a light sweater or lightweight jacket should be fine. For long - distance walking, long trousers and good shoes are highly important for this trip. Since there may be light rain, it is a good idea to take an umbrella or even a raincoat.

Mid-March
You can choose a long-sleeved cotton shirt or a slightly thicker sweatshirt for the inner layer, and a windproof jacket or a soft and comfortable cardigan for the outer layer. Pair the top wear with jeans to provide moderate warmth. It is suitable to wear low-top ankle boots and wear socks to increase warmth.

Late March
You can choose a breathable long-sleeved shirt or a thin knitted sweater, and pair them with a light cardigan or a denim jacket to deal with the slight coolness that may occur on overcast days. You can choose three-quarter, ankle-length or thin long pants. The fabrics of cotton or linen are both comfortable and breathable. You can choose flat shoes, canvas shoes or low-heeled single shoes. If the ground is slightly wet, you can choose waterproof shoes. You can match a simple and elegant scarf, which can not only embellish the overall outfit, but also keep your neck warm when it's a bit cool. At the same time, carry a folding umbrella in case of sudden rainfall.
