Guangzhou Weather Successfully K.O.'d This Shandong Native

This is why you don't see many girls in Guangdong wearing a full face of makeup, unless it's for a special occasion. Because the moment you step outside, it all melts! All of it! And it's not even that hot yet. Give it a bit more time, and sweat will turn your face into a total mess in minutes.
-
I've been wondering these past couple of days here, do girls in Guangdong even wear makeup? With this terribly humid and hot weather, any makeup would probably just smudge, right?
-
The original poster (OP) has been having a cup of herbal tea every day these past few days.
-
Actually, it seems they've developed 'internal heat' (Shang Huo), and their gums are all swollen.
-
The weather these past few days has actually been quite comfortable, don't you think? The really scorching hot season hasn't even begun.
-
It's mainly the stuffiness and humidity that make it feel even hotter~ It's still pretty cool in the north right now, you know.
-
When I passed by Yongqing Fang this year, I really couldn't understand what possesses out-of-town tourists to visit at this time of year. Even as a Guangdong local, I find this weather miserable.
-
Their thinking is probably: 'They just haven't experienced the full force of Guangzhou's April weather!' Just a few days ago in Qingdao, I was still wearing a padded winter coat.
-
As a woman from Shandong, I felt the same! Yesterday, when I got off the plane, I thought I'd walked into someone's steam room! Today's a little better, though.
-
LMAO, your description made me understand instantly!
-
I'm arriving in Guangzhou on April 28th. What kind of clothes should I wear? Would it be okay to wear a skirt with bare legs?
-
Yes, that's fine. It's already quite hot.
-
Looks like the original poster (OP) has left. For this trip, on a scale of 1 to 10, I'd give it
! -
Thank you, sweetie! Even us locals are cursing this awful weather, and yet you're giving our place such a high score!
-
This is so scary! I want to bring my kids for a trip, but I keep seeing posts trying to discourage people from going. Should I still go or not?!
-
Well, you're just visiting, not planning to live here, right? Generally speaking, it's just going to be hot from now on.
-
What do you mean 'like it's summer in April'? April is summer in Guangdong! (Just kidding / jk)
-
Haha, you're still thinking about seasons with a northerner's mindset! Back in Qingdao, I was still freezing and shivering in April, haha.
