Hello

I've secured a job in Chengdu and will be arriving mid July.


Is there anything I should bring with me from UK that you think I cannot get in Chengdu?


Also, what will the weather be like at that time?

Bhavna

Hi and welcome Angela,


I hope you get some feedback soon.


It will be your first time in China ?


All the best

Hi Bhavna


Yes, first time. I've not even visited before.

I'm from UK

Lived in Malaysia, India and Qatar in the last 15 years.


Hoping to get a little bit of info to help me know what to expect and settle in.

Hi Angela,


Just want to let you know that during the summer months in Chengdu, the temperature can get quite high, surpassing that of the UK's summer temperatures.  It's important to take precautions and stay hydrated during this time.


All the best and welcome to Chengdu.
