What is the weather like in China for late July to early August?

Question by i dont care for a name: What is the weather like in China for late July to early August?
My family and I are going on a trip to Beijing, Hong Kong, and as well as a few other places like the Great Wall, Yangtze River, and Guangdong province while on this trip. We are going late July and coming back the week of the Olympics (8/5). Does anybody have any suggestions on what we could bring for clothing as well?

Answer by Bob B
summer clothes! it is just as hot, humid as the midwest USA, only it is terribly polluted.

When in Guangzhou, order pizza from Danny’s Pizza. he is a transplanted New Yorker or New Jersey, I forget where, but his pizzas are the best! Stay at the White Swan. Just down the street is a nice American style diner called Lucy’s.

You will love Hong Kong, I hope you are luckier that I, and you get to stay a couple days. The HK airport is incredible.

Q&A: What was life on the Yangtze River like before the Three Gorges Dam was built?

Question by Hawk_Nelson_Rox: What was life on the Yangtze River like before the Three Gorges Dam was built?
I had already tried googling it and I couldn’t come up with anything. Only how life after it was built. Thanks. And try to give your source or give me a website that I can go and visit myself.

Answer by James™
Before the dam was built, there many floods that drowned a nearby city with population of several million. In 1954, a flood killed 30,000 people and left one million homeless. But the dam prevents this sort of thing from reoccurring.

A long time before the Three Gorges Dam, the Yangtze River was used for transportation, a lot more than it does now. The large cargo ships would have raised the water level and caused even more floods. The dam has reduced the amount of transportation up/down the river helping considerably to reduce the flooding of the riverside towns and cities.

Hope this helps 🙂
