The Climate in Yun Cheng - China

The most comfortable time of the year to go to Song Jiang is between April and June or August and October. In the summer it can become very hot, but what's even worse, is that air humidity often goes up to 90 percent. Between December and March it is quite cold and sometimes it snows. Actually temperatures only go slightly below zero degrees, but the wind makes the cold insufferable. Besides the students have a 2 month spring festival break anywhere between february and march. So the situation would be even worse if you were the only student in the school.
Everybody will tell you that the training keeps going during vacations, but that's a lie.
You can work out with a personal instructor, but he will not show up half of the time and if you are at a wushu school in China while chinese students are enjoying a break, you won't even be able to complain to somebody.
