Best Time to Visit Gongheyong #

Visit Gongheyong outside the June-October monsoon for the best weather: mild, drier winters and warm early spring are ideal for exploring markets, parks and the nearby coast. From June onward expect heavy rain, high humidity and occasional typhoons, so pack rain gear and keep plans flexible.

Winter
December - February · 12-20°C (54-68°F)
Drier, pleasantly mild weather - best for strolling markets and parks; bring a light jacket for cool mornings and evenings, rarely colder than a brisk autumn.
Spring
March - May · 18-26°C (64-79°F)
Warm, humid and increasingly rainy; blossoms and street life pick up but alleys can be sticky - expect showers and higher humidity, still good for local food and festivals.
Monsoon (Rainy Season)
June - October · 26-33°C (79-91°F)
Hot, humid and stormy: frequent heavy rains and occasional typhoons can disrupt plans, but bargains and indoor attractions are plentiful if you carry an umbrella.
