Beijing Weather in May

Long-sleeved T-shirt or shirt plus long jeans are generally enough to cope with the morning and evening coolness, and dress and shorts will do for a sunny afternoon. Prepare a light coat for any bad weather as well.Spring outings are the most popular activity in this month. Thus, the parks, gardens, suburban mountains are all good destinations. Making a trip to the Mutianyu Great Wall winding among lush vegetation is also a good choice. In May, there are often international-standard performances, such as the annual Heineken International Jazz Festival. At the same time, Daxing Watermelon Festival is held annually on May 28 annually.
