Shanghai weather reviews

Katerina, March 2023
Two years ago I met a Chinese man who came to study in Russia. In the spring he invited me to Shanghai. I spent this time enjoying myself. Temperatures in spring in Shanghai range from night to morning from 9°C to 15°C. I found myself on sunny days when my friend said that usually half the month is cloudy, although it rarely rains. Daylight hours last on average 11 hours, which is good news, since you can visit many attractions in China: the Bund, Yu Yuan Garden, Jade Buddha Temple and much more. I wish everyone a pleasant time in Shanghai!
