From late autumn to early spring, it is very dry and windy with little rainfalls. In summer it is very hot while winter is cold. The most agreeable time is

September and October when it is sunny and mild in temperature. It is therefore recommended that tourists planning on visiting Shijiazhuang do so in the autumn, when the temperature lies at a happy medium between the two extremes. Nevertheless, for fans of folk arts, the best time to visit the city is in the Lantern Festival (the 15th day of the 1st month according to the Chinese lunar calendar). On that day, there are many folk art performances on stage.

I'm an American working in China and will be going to Shijiazhuang in late March for a week. How is the weather in Shijiazhuang? Temperature? Will it rain then?

It is not likely to rain in March in Shijiazhuang, but the temperature will be between 5 to 15 celsius. It is cold at night, especially at night. So bring some warm clothes.
