Traveller notes on Guangzhou in July
Other months in Guangzhou
Guangzhou's forum consistently notes January runs milder than visitors from further north expect — no snow, just a genuine need for a coat after dark when a cold front comes through. Regulars also flag it as the quiet season: fewer tourists, cheaper hotels, right up until Chinese New Year crowds arrive.
