Foshan Weather in November

Mild days out

November is one of Foshan's best months for exploring. Afternoons reach about 27°C, while evenings cool to around 15°C. You'll get some rain, but showers tend to leave plenty of time for sightseeing.

The mild weather suits a walk around Zumiao Temple and nearby Lingnan Tiandi, where old lanes meet cafes and shops. It's also comfortable for an outdoor visit to Qinghui Garden in nearby Shunde. Skip long, exposed walks during the warmer part of the day if you find humidity tiring; it's still fairly humid.

Events and local life

November has no major nationwide public holiday in China, so you won't face the holiday rush seen around National Day in October or Chinese New Year. Foshan events can vary by year, so don't assume a festival will be on during your visit.

You may notice the Double 11 shopping festival on 11 November. It's a huge online sales day, not a local street celebration, and it won't usually change sightseeing plans. If you're keen on Foshan's lion dance culture, check whether a performance is scheduled at Zumiao rather than expecting one just because you're visiting in November.

Crowds and practical tips

November starts Foshan's most comfortable travel season, which runs through February. It's likely to feel busier than the hot, wetter summer months, but quieter than the Lunar New Year period. Prices can rise in this popular season, though November isn't usually the peak holiday squeeze.

If you hate crowds, visit Lingnan Tiandi on a weekday and save the weekend for a slower meal in Shunde. Try double-skin milk, a local chilled milk pudding, at a Shunde dessert shop. After rain, paved lanes around Zumiao can be slick, so take care on the walk between the temple and Lingnan Tiandi.
