Hangzhou Weather in December

December is cold and relatively dry, with occasional frost. The city is quiet, and holiday decorations start to appear. It's a good time for indoor cultural activities and enjoying the serene winter landscapes.

Pack warm clothing, including a heavy coat, sweaters, and thermal underwear. A hat, gloves, and scarf are essential. Waterproof shoes are useful for damp days.

Some attractions may have shorter hours; check in advance. The cold is damp, so dress warmly. New Year's Eve may bring small crowds to West Lake for celebrations.
