Yangshuo in February
Not the best time
February extends the quiet season with frequent rain dampening outdoor plans. But if you're flexible with activities and love dramatic, mist-covered landscapes, the empty streets and rock-bottom prices make it worthwhile.
Weather
February stays cool with persistent humidity and frequent light rain. The karst landscape looks moody under gray skies, but outdoor activities require rain gear most days. Temperatures start climbing toward month's end.

All Months
April through May brings perfect weather – warm but not sweltering, with spring flowers blooming in the countryside. The rice terraces start turning green, and you can cycle all day without melting.
September through November offers the year's best conditions. Temperatures hover around 25°C, humidity drops, and autumn colors paint the karst landscape. November especially delivers crystal-clear skies perfect for photography.
Avoid July and August unless you enjoy swimming in your own sweat. Summer temperatures hit 35°C with crushing humidity, and sudden thunderstorms can wash out outdoor plans. Winter (December-February) stays mild but gray, with persistent drizzle that obscures the mountain views you came here to see.
