Hefei Weather in November

Mild days outdoors

November feels cool and mostly dry in Hefei. Afternoons reach 17°C, while mornings and evenings can fall to 6°C. Rain comes on about seven days, so most days suit a walk or a city visit.

Spend clear hours at Lord Bao Park, where paths around the lake are pleasant in autumn. You can also explore the Anhui Museum without worrying about a sudden downpour. Save longer outdoor outings for dry spells; damp, cloudy days can feel chilly beside the water.

If you hate crowds, November is a calmer choice than October, Hefei's best-known month for visiting.

What's on

There isn't a major, reliably held November festival in Hefei. China's Singles' Day shopping season falls on November 11, but it's mainly an online sales event, not a city celebration. You may notice promotions in shopping areas such as Huaihe Road, though they don't usually make sightseeing busier.

Autumn colour gives the city's parks extra appeal, but don't expect peak foliage everywhere. For a quieter stroll, head to Xiaoyaojin Park and see the historic garden around its lake.

Quieter than October

Visitor numbers and prices generally ease after October's popular autumn season. November can be a good fit if you want to see Hefei without peak-month crowds, though it's less lively than major holiday periods. December is colder, so November offers a useful middle ground.

Travelling with kids? Lord Bao Park has open paths for a relaxed outing, but choose a sunny afternoon rather than a cold, wet morning.

For a local meal after your walk, try Li Hongzhang hotchpotch, a Hefei dish made with mixed ingredients. It's a warming choice when the evening turns cool.
