VIP Northeast China Tour - Helpful Tips
- Clothing: During winter travel in Northeast China, the temperature in all the cities on the itinerary is relatively low, ranging from 0°C to -25°C, and in some places, it can drop below -30°C. The temperature difference between indoors and outdoors is significant. Wear loose - fitting clothes for easy dressing.
- Eye Protection: In winter in the north, there is usually heavy snow, and the reflection of snow is strong. You need to wear sunglasses when going out to protect your eyes. Prepare a pair of sunglasses to prevent your eyes from being hurt by the sunlight reflected from the snow. Or you can rent ski goggles when skiing.
- Anti - slipping: When walking on ice or snow, remember “Don’t lift your feet high when walking, take small sliding steps and you won’t fall; don’t put your hands in your pockets, and it won’t be a surprise if you fall”. When walking on ice and snow, keep your knees slightly bent and your center of gravity forward. This way, you won’t slip easily.
- Snacks: Due to the low temperature, the required calorie intake increases accordingly. You can carry some small snacks like chocolate or beef jerky to replenish calories at any time. In the cold and dry areas in the north, you will often feel thirsty. Therefore, it is recommended that you carry a thermos and throat lozenges for use during the trip.
- Camera: In cold conditions, the efficiency of the battery will decrease to varying degrees. The camera is also prone to malfunction due to insufficient power, especially digital cameras are more afraid of freezing. So, be sure to keep the camera warm outdoors. You can tuck it in your bosom or put a hand warmer in the camera bag and take it out when needed. In addition, be sure to prepare more batteries. When entering from outdoors to indoors, remember to wrap the camera with a thick cloth or put it in a plastic bag for protection. Otherwise, due to the large temperature difference between indoors and outdoors, the camera lens will have a “frost reversal” phenomenon. Note that the Apple phone is the most fragile phone in Northeast China. It will automatically shut down if you are not careful! So a power bank is a must - have!
- Sleep: In winter, heating is mostly used indoors in the north. The indoor air is not very circulating and is relatively dry. It is best to use skin care products with moisturizing effects appropriately before going to sleep, and put a glass of water by the bed to increase the humidity of the room. It is recommended to drink more water before going to bed to prevent a dry throat when you wake up the next day. Yabuli Snow Town is in a forested area. Due to the cold outdoor weather and relatively high indoor temperature, there will be “ladybugs” indoors. This is a normal situation. Ladybugs are beneficial insects. Please don’t panic, tourists.
