Hello Julia

Please can you tell me how many people will be travelling on the holiday to China on 18th March and how many will be continuing on the Yangtze River Cruise. Who is the Tour Manager? Also, will it be cold when we arrive in Bejing? Do I need to pack summer and winter clothes?

Thank you.

Hello Carol,

There are 14 travellers booked on this date, 7 on the main tour and 7 continuing on to the Yangtze River Cruise.

The Tour Manager provisionally allocated to this tour is Deborah Lester-George.

In terms of weather - this seems so interchangeable at the minute wherever you are travelling in the world. For China, you are travelling at the end of winter/beginning of spring. The climate in China during the spring months is pleasant and sunny with daytime temperatures averaging 50-60ºF while the Yangtze and southern regions still experience mild temperatures with higher humidity. You will need to take a waterproof jacket in case of the odd rain shower and also a warm sweater/ jacket to wear in the evenings. As you are coming out of winter, I would recommend that you take clothes that you are able to layer to combat cooler days, as much of your time will be spent outside, sightseeing. It might be worth making sure you pack a hat, gloves and warm comfortable footwear.

Kindest regards,

Julia
