The summer in Guangzhou is the combination of rainstorm and hot weather; the last minute it was raining cats and dogs, and the next minute comes extreme heat. How disturbing it is! Some people joke that there’s no autumn in Guangzhou city as far as the whole Guangdong province because the summer season lasts for such a long time from May till November. Guangzhou, on the other hand, is in the humid subtropical monsoon climate zone, featuring the characteristic of hot summer and warm winter without a clear division of four seasons.
How hot is the summer in Guangzhou? Let’s take a look at two examples:
This is a normal working day. You go out in the morning as usual to take the Guangzhou Metro, the hot and humid weather makes you feel like you are walking in a food steamer; even worse, if you happen to be on the Guangzhou Metro Line 3, you lose half of your energy of the day trying to get on the crowded cart with some sweaty and stinky people. Imagine you go to work like this every day, how can you not feel tired and stressful?
Another example happens at the weekends when friends and families hang out together for fun. The continuous high-temperature and the tall buildings around the city cause the urban heat island effect which makes people feel like walking in the oven when they go out, this of course ruins the original purpose of relaxing and having a good time during the weekends.
Fortunately, there always will be solutions to the problems. Regardless of the hot weather in Guangzhou, the Cantonese have various methods to deal with it. For instance, the traditional Cantonese soup is a powerful tool against the heat. The special Cantonese soup not only helps people get rid of the dampness but also nourish the body; so having Cantonese soup is a unique life style belongs to the local Cantonese to help them endure the long hot summer. Another tool to fight against the heat in Guangzhou is the traditional Cantonese herbal tea which is good to heal the “yeet hay” inside your body and make you feel refreshing again. (yeet hay is a concept in traditional Chinese medicine. Normally people with excessive internal heat would easily get inflammation of the tooth, sore throat or acne, etc.)
Although we can’t stop the hot weather influence in Guangzhou, we can always find ways to deal with it and make ourselves more comfortable.
Due to the stress and annoying situation caused by extreme heat, it’s necessary for us to find ways to relax with the Relax Gift Hamper. These gift boxes have all sorts of relaxation gifts that can help you release the pressure and liberate your soul.
