Hi,
I regularly visit my in-laws in the Province of Guangxi, in China, at the border with the northern Vietnam. October is a good period, not too hot. But, most of time, air is hazy. There is a lot of humidity in the air. Difficult to obtain details in deep landscapes. Then, be careful with too wide angle which will push your background far in the back. Better to invest in an UV Haze filter [url="http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/622150-REG/B_W_66_013054_66_013054_62mm_Digital_Pro.html"]My link[/url]
For the rest, that depends of your style of photos.
One last thing, very important. Use a comfortable backpack when it is positioned on the chest and not on the back. The thieves are so clever that you will not see anything coming. Another solution is to use a bag like the Kata 3N1 (11 to 33) [url="http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/562234-REG/Kata_KT_D_3N1_20_3_in_1_Sling.html"]My link[/url] ,with shoulder strap across which allows you to put your bag on the belly quickly when you're in the crowd, in transports. This bag has the advantage of having access to the main photo gear on the side of the bag, without any opening of the main bag. Understand that people are poor there and that you are a legitimate temptation ... Do not walk around showing your photo equipment with ostentation.
Have a good trip !
Regards.

Thanks Jean-Michel...
I already have such a sling-backpack (from another brand), I find these quite useful and convenient. But it looks like I will need a bigger backpack. Which can carry more lenses + gear + other things...
UV haze will definitely come with me. I've read what you said about the mist and haze. I guess the metering will be tricky also.
