Cao Bang

Best Time



It is not easy to find the best period to visit Cao Bang. Winter is mild and in theory it is the least rainy season, but there is little sun and there are frequent drizzles, moreover, it can sometimes be cold. Spring is pleasantly warm, but also gloomy, and when the sun becomes a little more frequent, thunderstorms also begin, then by May, the air becomes sultry, and there is the risk (though still low) of typhoons. In theory, autumn is the best season, but typhoons are still possible in October, while in November, there may be windy days, and at the end of the month, it can sometimes already be a bit cold. All in all, the best periods are from mid-March to mid-April, and from mid-October to late November.
