Hi Olly I am thinking about going on the highlights of china next march. Could you please inform me what will the temperature be like at that time of year, also what do you do regarding the currency, do you buy it here or is it easy to get while you are there. Thanks Annabella

Hi Annabella

The temperature in China changes quite a bit in March. In Beijing, for example, it can still be below freezing at the start of the month but rise to up to 15 degrees Celsius by the end of the month. Depending on when you plan to travel, I would pack plenty of cold weather clothing.

As for currency, quite a few Community users have said they got a better exchange rate by waiting until they got to China. But if you would prefer to get some Chinese yuan in advance so you don't have to think about it, I'm sure it won't make much difference. You won't need a lot of cash as all the excursions and meals are included.

Kind regards,

Olly, your editor
