Nanchang Weather in November

November weather in Nanchang

November is a good time to visit, though October is the better pick if you can choose. The days are cooler than October's, with highs around 20°C, but nights can drop to 9°C, so pack a warm layer. Rain falls on about 10 days, and the sky is often cloudy, though you'll still get some sun.

That mix suits a relaxed pace. Tengwang Pavilion and the Bayi Square area are pleasant to explore without summer heat. Meiling's trails can be lovely on a dry day, but they turn slippery after rain. Save a riverside stroll along the Ganjiang for a clearer afternoon, and don't plan a full day of outdoor sights every day.

Events and atmosphere

November has no major nationwide public holiday, so the city's usual sights feel calmer than they do during October's busy autumn travel period. China's Singles' Day falls on November 11, but it's mainly a huge online shopping event, not a city festival or a reason for crowds.

If you dislike crowds, November is a comfortable choice. You'll generally find fewer domestic holiday visitors than in October, and accommodation prices may be lower once the busy autumn period ends. Weekends can still bring local families to popular spots, especially Tengwang Pavilion.

Getting around Nanchang in November

Cloud and rain can interrupt outdoor plans, so keep a museum or a long lunch in town as a backup. Nanchang rice noodles make a warming meal after a damp walk. Look for them around the old town rather than relying on riverside stalls.

Travelling with kids? Choose Bayi Square and nearby indoor stops on rainy afternoons.

Check the weather before you set out for Meiling. If the trails look wet, stay in town and visit the Jiangxi Provincial Museum instead. Then head to Tengwang Pavilion for an evening stroll, and bring something warm for the walk back.
