I have already returned to Lu'an, and I really don't recommend going there.
In March, the spring breeze is blowing and the earth is warming up. It is a good time to travel🎈. In this life-filled month, let’s head to Lu’an for a date with spring. With picturesque mountains and rivers, rich cultural heritage and rich cuisine, it is sure to bring you an unforgettable travel experience. Here is a super detailed three-day trip guide for March and Lu'an✨.
📅Best time to play
In March, the temperature gradually warms up, the average temperature is between 10 - 20°C 🌡️, the sun is bright, the breeze is not dry, very suitable for outdoor activities. At this time, the major attractions in Lu'an also present the most beautiful spring scene, with fresh flowers blooming all over the mountains and fields, and lush greenery. It is an excellent time to enjoy the natural scenery🌳.
👗 Outfit suggestions
During the day, you can wear a light jacket, long-sleeved shirt or T-shirt with jeans or a skirt 👖👗. Since the temperature difference between morning and evening may be larger, it is recommended to carry a thicker jacket to prevent cold🧥. For shoes, choose comfortable sneakers or casual shoes for long-term walking and mountain climbing👟. In the meantime, don’t forget to bring sunscreen such as sun hats, sunglasses and sunscreen🌞 to protect yourself from UV rays.
