What to Wear in Zhangjiajie in November

1. Bring some layers: long trousers a few different shirts, and a jacket. The day may be nice for a t-shirt and trousers, but the night is certain to get colder. If you find yourself visiting in late November, it will certainly be on the colder side.

2. Decent walking/hiking boots. Boots with good traction, and hopefully water-resistant will do you good. It’s a great month to get outdoors, and you should be prepared for it.

3. Water protection and/or a rain jacket. Even though it’s one of the driest months in November (usually), it still rains 16 days out of the month. A light rain jacket should be fine.

Is November a good time to visit Zhangjiajie?

November is one of the best times to visit Zhangjiajie. It is cool and autumnal in the earlier part of the month, and then later gets cold as winter’s chill kicks in. Rain is very low (comparatively) making it less of a hassle to prepare for outdoor activities.

November is finally low-tourist season. Most people are working, the holidays of early autumn are over, so there are far fewer crowds and other tourists to deal with. The weather might be a bit chilly for some people, but the misty fog and clouds make for great scenery.

What to Do in Zhangjiajie in November

Just about any of Zhangjiajie’s attractions are good choices in the 11th month. The weather is nice, no heavy rain, sun, or snow/cold to prevent you from doing pretty much whatever you want. About the only thing, you won’t be able to do will be swimming/rafting.

This is one of the best months for the outdoors in Zhangjiajie. Autumn colors, cool weather, easy sun, and light rain make for a wonderful combination. Hikers will be greatly pleased to visit in November.

Ascending Tianmen Mountain is a great way to see the colorful leaves and appreciate the weather. The cool weather and fog make it a nice journey that doesn’t require an abundance of water, sun protection, or too many winter layers.

Those who wish to visit the mountain via cable car can of course do that. Watching wispy clouds float in between the peaks of the great mountains is an unforgettable view.

The Forest National Park at Zhangjiajie is another great choice for November. The leaves are colorful and gorgeous, and the forest develops an ethereal beauty in the mist.

Tips for Visiting Zhangjiajie in November

It’s the low-tourist season! That means that everything is cheaper! Entry to the park, accommodation, amenities, food, everything. Prices go down as the locals deal with less tourism.

Also, you probably don’t have to prepare nearly as much in advance, as it’s a good bet that rooms, transport, and pretty much whatever you need will be available on arrival.

It’s foggy. You may have to hang out at some of the good places to see the sights, as you wait for the fog to let up. Usually, fog lasts until late morning and disappears between 11:00 and 14:00. The mountain peaks are gorgeous as the clouds lift.
