Hi, William,
I am happy that you are coming to China soon. Let me tell you something you want to know.
Firstly, the weather in summer will be hot most of the time. Sometimes it may rain heavily. So you had better take some short clothes and an umbrella. Meanwhile, it will be sunny, so you can also take some sunscreen with you.
As for traditional Chinese art, I like Chinese paper-cutting, because it is very interesting. We often make paper-cutting on some important festivals, like Spring Festival. You can join some local clubs to know more and you can also learn some skills.
I hope that you will have a good time this summer holiday.
Li Hua
