Xichang is also a good place to escape the summer heat. In the hottest months of June and July, the average daily maximum temperature is rarely above 30 C, and basically hovers around 27 C, which is similar to the minimum temperature in northern cities. In addition The urban area has excellent greening and a good environment, so the urban area is a summer paradise.
