Yiwu Weather in October

October weather in Yiwu

October is one of Yiwu's best months for getting around. Days reach about 24°C, while evenings cool to around 14°C. It's much less hot and rainy than September, though showers still come on some days. The air can feel damp, and grey skies are common.

You can browse the Yiwu International Trade City or visit Yiwu Museum without the sticky heat of summer. A walk around Xiuhu Park also suits the mild afternoons. Save long outdoor plans for clearer spells, since rain can make a full day outside less appealing.

Holidays and crowds

China's National Day holiday falls at the start of October. Yiwu can feel busier then, with more domestic travellers and fuller transport. Prices may rise around the holiday, so the quieter days later in the month are a better bet if you want a calmer city break.

The China Yiwu International Commodities Fair is also usually held in October. It brings buyers and traders to the city, especially around the exhibition venue and trade markets. Visiting for business? Check the fair dates before choosing your stay, as they change from year to year.

A useful local tip

For budget travellers, the days after National Day can offer a better balance: pleasant weather without the holiday rush. October is popular overall, but the busiest spell is concentrated around the holiday and major trade events.

At Yiwu International Trade City, pick one district before you arrive. The market is huge, and trying to cover it all can turn a comfortable day into hours of walking. For a local snack after browsing, look for Yiwu red sugar, a regional sweet made from sugarcane.
