Guangzhou Weather in December

December is cool and dry, with mild daytime temperatures and chilly nights. It's a comfortable month for exploring the city, and the festive atmosphere builds towards Christmas and New Year. Crowds are moderate, and prices are reasonable.

Pack warm layers: a jacket or coat for evenings, sweaters, and long pants. A light scarf and gloves may be needed for cold snaps. Comfortable shoes for walking.

While not a traditional Chinese holiday, Christmas is celebrated in commercial areas with decorations and events. New Year's Eve sees celebrations, but not as massive as Chinese New Year. The weather can be damp and cold, so dress warmly.
