From late September to middle October in autumn, Ejina has relatively cool weather and there is little rain or sandstorm, very suitable for traveling.

The temperature of Ejina in September is about 16℃ on average but in October, it may drop to only 8℃. In the daytime, it is warm and you can wear a light sweater with a jacket.
