Both Guangzhou and Hangzhou belong to subtropical monsoon climate, but Guangzhou is close to the tropics, so the average temperature is obviously higher than that of Hangzhou, and the precipitation is more than that of Hangzhou. The winter is short and not very cold. The climate in Hangzhou is distinct all year round, with high temperature in summer and wet and cold in winter, so the spring and autumn seasons in Hangzhou are the most suitable for sightseeing. In addition, there are sometimes a few snows in Hangzhou, but there should be no snow in Guangzhou.
