Packing for China
We are doing the eastbound tour from Beijing on October 18, 2012. Can someone who has done this tour at this time of year tell me what to expect weather wise, and what type of clothing to pack?
Thank you
Thank you

In Beijing, Fall temperatures range from 40-65 degrees.
In Hong Kong, temperatures vary between the 70-80 degrees
In the Three Gorges Region, temperatures are usually in the mid- 60s

As for packing:
Hong Kong and China: When thinking about clothing and temperatures in China, you should follow the U.S. seasons as a general guide. - Layering is essential throughout the cooler months, as temperatures will vary. Comfortable, broken-in walking shoes are a must. For dining in the evening, your accommodations include several fine hotels. You may enjoy dressing up a bit at these locations. "Casual-elegant" attire is perfectly acceptable.
WHEN PACKING THE FOLLOWING ITEMS ARE ESSENTIAL:
-Clothing that can be layered
-Camera/film/accessories
-Light jacket/Warm jacket
-Umbrella
-Medicines/prescriptions
-Casual-elegant evening clothes -Comfortable, worn-in walking shoes
We recommend that you pack your prescription medicines (an adequate supply to last through your journey) along with your travel documents and a change of clothing in your
carry-on bags to avoid any inconvenience
Hope this helps,

Thanks.
Sorry, I don't understand exactly what "casual-elegant" attire is for a man. I am assuming it does not mean a suit and necktie. On a scale of sports jacket and tie with dress slacks, to a sports jacket and open neck sports shirt (or polo shirt?) and chino slacks, what do you mean?
Sport coats, chinos, polos are all fine for dinner. Ties are not neccessary. Just remember the most important thing is to have comfortable clothing.
Hope this helps,
