Kunming Weather in December

There is no heating system in Kunming, so you need to keep warm. A thin sweater or a thick hoody is enough if you are staying indoors. If going outside at night, you have to add a woolen coat or a cotton padded jacket, and you can wear a pair of gloves and a thin scarf if necessary.In December, plum flowers and magnolia flowers come into bloom in Kunming. Black Dragon Pool is a good place to appreciate the flowers. More than 14,000 plum trees are planted in the garden, and 4,000 bonsai are exhibited. Generally the Plum Flower Exhibition is held at the end of December in the park. After appreciating the flowers, you can visit the ancient Eastern and Western Pagodas with a history of more than 1,100 years. These two pagodas are the symbols of ancient civilizations and cultures of Kunming. As night approaches, all niches on the two pagodas are lit up, making them even more splendid. A visit to the Jinma Biji Historic Site to taste local snacks is also a must for your nightlife there.
 Ultraviolet rays are intense and the climate in Kunming in December is relatively dry, so you should bring moisturizing skin care products, and apply sunscreen and drink enough water during outdoor activities. To prevent the discomfort caused by altitude stress, you'd better take some medicines. Many minorities live in the city, so you need to respect their customs and pay attention to your behavior and words. Many tourists travel to Kunming in this month to escape the cold weather, so you are advised to have your itinerary arranged as early as possible.
