What to wear and bring?
In early December
The temperature is low but it can be a little warmer in the daytime. Please put on windbreakers, jackets, sweaters and casual sets in the day and thick woolen sweaters, a thermal base layer, cashmere woolen coats, padded coats and down jackets in the nighttime.
In mid-December
The clothes worn on the cold, dry days should be loose and warm. There can be ice covering outdoor surfaces. Use insoles and put on shoes with thick and antiskid soles to insulate your feet from cold ground.
In late December
The body felt temperature is quite low. When shopping in super malls in Shanghai where the central heating is good, take off down jackets or thick outerwear and just wear woolen sweaters. Put on outerwear again before stepping out of the mall to avoid catching a cold from the huge temperature difference indoors and outdoors.
