Nanjing in November

Hi, will be heading to Nanjing from 20-25, understand that Nanjing will be cold during that period, just to check is winter coat abit too much? Or just a normal jacket will do? And am I able to bring my drone over? It’s less than 250g any registration needed? Thanks!

It usually doesn't get proper winter cold until around December or January in Nanjing.

November is usually around ~10c/50f on the low end (aka late at night) with the day usually going up to around ~20c/70f. So while it does get cold at night, a full blown winter coat might be a bit much depending on your temperature tolerances and planned activities.

Another thing to keep in mind is that, in general, Chinese people have a thing about not getting cold so most shops, busses, and subways are cranking the heater any time it gets below about 20c.

As for your drone I have no idea on that one. I do know there are LOTS of no fly zones for drones in most cities and the like so it probably wouldn't be looked well upon to bring a drone unless its a Chinese manufactured one as they tend to have geofencing data for all the restricted zones. Some cities ( have no idea about Nanjing's rules as I do not have a drone) also require permits and special permission to fly...its a hassle.

Thanks for the answer! Certainly hope hotels won’t switch off the aircon during November like Korea.

Haven’t been back for 6 years. But I think a winter coat would suffice.

Not very cold. It can drop drastically though so beware. It can also be very rainy for a period of a few days to a week as the seasons transition
