China in September

China celebrates its National Day on 1st October. This year is its 60th. So, September is the best time to visit the country before the 7 days public holiday starts.

Everywhere you go, you can see decorative display to celebrate the occasion.

At Tienanmen Square
According to About.com, the weather is cooling off and drying in September as autumn starts so it is a great time to visit Beijing.

While we were there, the temperature varied from 22C to 26C and though it was expected, we were lucky that it did not rain a drop. You can go sleeveless as long as you have a jacket or sweater with you.

Moisturizer is definitely required or your face will start flaking. As proven by fellow traveling mates, a bottle of Vaseline Petroleum Jelly will do just fine.
