The climate of Hohhot is continental with four distinct seasons and significant temperature spreads between day and night. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hohhot in Spring (March – May)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Falling within a temperate zone, Hohhot belongs to a semi-arid climate that is characterized by little and uneven precipitation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Generally speaking, spring is not a very good time to visit Hohhot. Hohhot has a short spring. What\u2019s more, it is often hit by droughts and sandstorms in spring. The weather is still chilly in spring, especially at night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nadam Fair <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The famous Nadam Fair is also held during July or August. This traditional festival occupies an important place in the life of Mongolian people. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Remember to bring a coat or jacket even in summer since the temperature drops dramatically in the evening. Going Hohhot in summer is a good choice for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Zhaojun Cultural Festival<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Time: July-August every year; Host city: Hohhot<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Zhaojun Cultural Festival originated from the Zhaojun Temple Fair. After several years of development, Zhaojun Cultural Festival has become a comprehensive festival activity integrating culture, economy and trade, sports and tourism. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hohhot named the festival after Zhaojun, aiming to “promote Zhaojun culture, strengthen ethnic unity and promote economic development”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Summer Dazhao Culture Temple Fair<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Time: July-August every year; Venue: Dazhao Square, Hohhot city<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many activities will be held with regard to Dazhao Culture, wonderful cultural and folk custom, commerce, and Buddhism during the Summer Dazhao Culture Temple Fair. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are not only traditional crafts and folk performances such as dough figurines, clay figurines, sugar paintings and sugar figures, but also abundant mass activities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So summer is a tourist peak season in Hohhot with significant increase in domestic travel. Be ready to be well prepared to book your hotels, flights or train tickets in advance. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hohhot in Autumn (September – October\uff09<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Early autumn is also a good time for visiting Hohhot, since the grassland is still full of yellow grass and horses there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Autumn there usually sees early frost and plummeting temperature. Just remember the difference in temperature between days and nights is very big, so you should wear several layers of clothes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You are kindly advised to skip over China National Holiday in October (1-7) when you plan your Hohhot Tours<\/a>, since there are so many domestic tourists during that time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hohhot in Winter ( November – February next year)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Winter is an off season for traveling in Hohhot. If you are more of a person who loves winter and would like to go skiing down some of the most breath taking sites in Hohhot, Hohhot still welcomes you during the winter months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
