Macau Weather in December

Macau Christmas Day

December is cool. The average high temperature is 19°C (66°F) and the average low temperature is 13°C (55 °F). Because it seldom rains, the month is the driest of the year. It is warm during the day, but evenings get cold. Wear long trousers and a light sweater/jacket during the daytime, and bring a coat for the cold nights. Thick socks may be necessary to help older travelers stay warm. On the whole, it is a rather comfortable month.

December is also a peak travel time for Macau, and the 20th is an important day for people from Macau to return to the motherland. Many celebrations and activities fill this day. And since Macau is getting ready to celebrate Christmas, you'll enjoy a festive atmosphere.

Students are also on holiday during the month, and transportation is busy. A lot of tourists also visit the attractions, so hotel rooms are more expensive than usual and difficult to reserve. If you go to Macau in December, be sure to make your travel arrangements in advance. See our Macau Tours.

Macau represents a combination of Chinese and Portuguese culture, which is reflected in Macau’s many places of historic interest and scenic beauty. The Ruins of St Paul Cathedral (ruins of the greatest church in Macau combined with the architectural styles of Europe and the East) are a symbol of Macau. If you are interested in Macau’s history, the Historic Center of Macau is a great place to visit. Visit here for more information: http://www.chinahighlights.com/macau/attraction/

Passport holders of Indonesia can enter Macau and stay up to 30 days.
