It would be a little cold to visit Yading Nature Reserve, so it should not be a good travel timing. The best time there is March to April and Sep. to Oct.
For your questions, here is what I know:
1. Yes, the road will open then, but there is only one bus for the journey every day, leaving Zhongdian around 06:00 in the early morning. It takes around 12h.
2. In late Dec. cloudy days would be the majority, but it still is cold, with the average temperature of around 0C.
3. It is so far between the two place, so the taxi fare would be very expensive. At the same time, it may be hard to rent a taxi for the journey. The bus I mentioned is the best way and the bus fare is CNY110 or a little more a remember.
