The best time to visit Jiaxing

The weather in spring is pleasant compared to other seasons. It is neither too hot nor too cold and there is always plenty of bright sunshine. However, it rains from time to time, so don’t forget to bring an umbrella. You also need to wear a warm sweater because it might be cool in the evening. As we know, Jiaxing is famous for a large number of places of interest. For example, Yuehe Street is an interesting place to have fun. What’s more, you can have a picnic with your family members by the South Lake. It’s a good time to plant trees as well. Remember to wear comfortable shoes if you plan to do some sightseeing around the city. Finally, it’s a good idea to bring your camera because you may want to take photos of the beautiful sceneries(景色).

It’s hot and sunny in summer. It’s popular to wear a hat and a pair of sunglasses outdoors when the temperature stays above thirty degrees. It’s relaxing to swim in the sea and eat delicious ice-cream, but too much ice-cream makes you fatter.

it’s impossible for you to go skating on the rivers or lakes because the ice is not thick enough. Never take the risk of falling through the ice. I’m not joking.

Anyway/ In a word/ Generally speaking(总而言之)，the best time to visit Jiaxing depends on (取决于) what kind of activities you are interested in. 2
