Shantou Weather in November

November feels mild

Shantou's November days are warm, and the evenings cool off nicely. The average high is 24°C and the low is 18°C. Rain falls on about six days, so a shower may cut into a day out, but it's rarely a serious problem.

Little Park and Shantou's historic centre are good places to spend a few relaxed hours on foot, and beef hotpot makes an easy stop along the way. You can also visit Nan'ao Island, though cloudy spells may dull the sea views. If a beach swim is high on your list, plan around it, because November suits coastal walks and seafood better than long swims.

Events and local life

November doesn't bring a major nationwide Chinese holiday, and Shantou has no widely known annual festival in this month. So you're less likely to run into the holiday crowds you'd find during October's National Day break. Local performances or fairs may still happen, but their dates can shift.

If crowds wear you out, November is a comfortable time to wander Little Park's arcades and old streets. It's generally quieter than peak summer and October's holiday period. Prices are often easier too, though weekends and local events can still push hotel rates up.

Local tips for Shantou

November rates as excellent, but December to February are Shantou's best months, and November comes close behind. Compared with October, it's cooler and a little wetter. Compared with December, it's warmer and rainier. That makes it a good pick for city walks and short outings, though damp spells can make exposed coastal stops less appealing.

For a practical tip, try beef hotpot near the old town after sightseeing. It suits a cooler evening well, and you can ask for thinly sliced beef cooked briefly in the broth. If you're heading to Nan'ao Island, keep your plans flexible in case clouds or showers roll in.
