The average sunshine hours are fewer than four hours per day. December is the foggiest month of the year and morning fog is common. While precipitation is low this month, frequent cold fronts and overcast skies mean fewer clear days, making sunshine scarce in Yichang's winter.
 No, December isn't a good time to visit the Three Gorges Dam. Long-tine activities are always quit due to the frigid temperatures. On the deck where the chilly Yangtze River breeze, extended viewing is even more tough. Also, the sightseeing hours are fewer on the shortest days of the year. However, if you can avoid the morning mist, you can still see the dam in its entirety even on cloudy days and the colorful autumn leaves still grow on the trees in early December. Visitors who prefer autumn scenery can avoid the crowds during this off-season.
  Clothes: Bundle yourself up in warm layers. A sweater or a thick hoodie with a windproof jacket or a light down coat will suffice for most days. Thick jeans are an obvious choice for the bottom, better with an underwear. 

 Shoes: warm shoes or snow boots

 Others: a compact umbrella, a warm hat, a cozy scarf and warm mittens
