Weather Prediction for 10/25/17, 10/26/17, 10/27/17 for Yangtze Gold 6 cruise

2017-10-13 08:13

Hi Elaine,

Thank you for the question. It is autumn season during October. And for your Yangtze Gold 6 cruise from October 25 in 2017, you would embark in Chongqing, when and where it is cloudy with a temperature ranging from around 17-24, and during night, it is a little cold. On the following two days passing Fungdu County, Zhongxian County, Fengjie County, and so on, it is mainly cloudy, but the weather gradually declines, and maybe changes to rain. For your body health, it is recommended to bring some warm clothes like sweaters, coats, and long pants for your excursion visits and time on the Sun Deck. However, the whole cruise has central air conditioner with a temperature at about 26℃, so you could feel warm when stay in your room, restaurant, and other public areas onboard. You could follow the weather report before you go.

Wish you a wonderful Yangtze River Cruise tour!
