If i travel to Beijing on 1 Aug to 9 Aug, it is a good time ? What clothing should i bring along ?

It is still very hot and wet in August. There may be sauna days and occasional thunderstorms, too. High temperatures of over 35 C (32 F) usually appear in the first two weeks of the month. Summer clothes, including shorts and dresses, are proper during this month. Clothing of cotton is better, since it is breathable and can help to take perspiration away from your skin and keep you dry.
