Xi'an Weather in December

December is cold and dry, with occasional snow. It's the low tourist season, so you'll find fewer crowds and lower prices. The cold can be biting, but indoor attractions are comfortable.

Heavy winter gear: down jacket, thermal underwear, gloves, hat, and scarf. Warm, waterproof boots. Lip balm and moisturizer for dry air.

Some attractions may have reduced hours or close for maintenance; verify in advance. The cold is dry, so dress in layers. Book hotels easily, but check for holiday closures.
