There are many places to go in Chongqing in winter. You can climb the mountains above Nanshan, go to Hongya Cave, go to Jinyun Mountain in Beibei, go to the hot springs in Beibei, and go to Diaoyu City in Hechuan. Not only can you enjoy the scenery of the ancient battlefield, but you can also have a bird's eye view of Hechuan Sanjiang and Hechuan Setan Ancient Town, and eat Yanghechuan's mixed rice noodles and salt well bean curd. When I come back, I’ll bring some noodles from Hechuan Shizitan and Aunt Liu’s dried tofu!

2. Should Chongqing go in winter or summer?

The weather in Chongqing in the fourth quarter is like this. It has cold winters, sultry summers, short springs and late fall.

4. When is the best season to visit Chengdu and Chongqing?

This question is a bit difficult to answer. It stands to reason that people from Sichuan will have no problem coming to Chongqing during the Spring Festival. However, due to problems with the prevention and control of the COVID-19 epidemic during this period, we should be cautious. However, there is still some time before the Chinese New Year. If the epidemic prevention and control situation improves and there are no problems with personal hygiene coding, I would like to welcome Sichuan people to Chongqing!

5. Should you go to Chengdu or Chongqing in winter?

Shanghai is the coldest, Chengdu is 0 degrees, Shanghai is minus 5 to 6 degrees, and Dongjiao is the warmest. Shanghai is the easternmost part of China and it is close to the sea. In winter, the wind is very strong, causing the temperature to be very low, usually several degrees below zero. Dongguan is in Guangdong Province in southern China. Although there are cold winds in winter, the temperature is always a few degrees above zero. As for Chengdu in the southwest, because it is located in the Sichuan Basin, there is generally no wind, even if the wind is not strong, so the minimum temperature will not be very low, just zero degrees.

6. Is it suitable to go to Chongqing in winter?

Chongqing’s winter is relatively warm, with less frost and snow, more clouds and less sunshine.

The average temperature in cold months is 4-8, which is about 1-5 higher than that of Wuhan, Nanjing and other places at the same latitude. Winter is obviously warmer.

Because of the warm winters, the entire Chongqing is green all year round. The evergreen broad-leaved trees in the higher Jinyun Mountain and Simian Mountain are also green and full of vitality all year round. The number of sunshine hours in winter is the lowest in the national sunshine distribution map. There are only 30-50 hours of sunshine in January, less than 15% of the sunshine hours. The number of frost days in Chongqing is the lowest in the country at the same latitude. The average annual frost days are 1-5 days, 8-10 days in the southeast and high-altitude areas, and up to 25 days at the entrance of the city. The annual average frost-free period is more than 340 days.

There are fewer snow days. Except for the southeastern and high-altitude areas, which can reach 5-15 days on average, the rest of the areas only have one day on average throughout the year. Cloudy winter is a major feature of Chongqing. In December (or January), there are an average of 20-23 cloudy days and as many as 3-7 foggy days, so it is called the Fog City Chongqing.

7. Which one is colder in winter, Chengdu or Chongqing?

I live in Chengdu and have been to Chongqing several times.

In fact, there are no attractions worth visiting in these two cities in winter compared to other seasons, so in fact, you can go to these two places in any season, so there is no question which winter is better.

If you want to visit the surrounding areas, Chengdu is more recommended in winter. Chengdu is close to western Sichuan. There are many snow-capped mountains and hot springs to visit in winter. Emeishan and Qingchengshan can be reached directly by train. Xiling Snow Mountain

By the way, if you don’t plan to play around, Chongqing is recommended in winter, because the air quality in Chengdu is sincere in winter.
