Things to note when traveling to Northeast China

Although everyone knows that the Northeast is cold, it is North-Eastern, so traveling to the Northeast is definitely a must-do. Today I will tell you some things to note when traveling to the Northeast. , everyone can also take a look.

Note

1. When does it start to snow in the Northeast?

The first snow in the Northeast comes earlier. In late October every year, with the first snowfall, the winter in Northeast China begins, but this is all a process of snow accumulation. Late November to early February is the most beautiful time in the Northeast, and it is also the most suitable time to come to the Northeast to see and play in the snow.

2. Where is the best place to start traveling in Northeast China?

The Northeast is vast, and I personally recommend Harbin as the starting point. Harbin is the northernmost grand event city with profound cultural and historical heritage. Starting from Harbin, you can go all the way south without looking back.

3. What should I prepare for going to the Northeast?

Clothing: It is cold in the Northeast, but considering that you have to ski, eat, etc., it is not recommended to dress like a rice dumpling. It is not necessary to wear a large cotton-padded jacket or cotton-padded trousers. It is recommended that a fleece jacket paired with a set of fleece jackets and pants is enough. You can wear a long-sleeved T-shirt or fleece underneath, because indoors in the Northeast are as warm as spring.

Gloves: It is best to prepare two pairs, one thin and one pair of ski gloves. This way, you can take photos and have fun at the same time.

Masks: Masks can protect the mouth, nose and throat very well, but such equipment is not recommended for people who wear glasses. Otherwise you will be foggy the whole time.

Skin care products: The Northeast is dry and cold, so hand cream and sunscreen are a must. Only by appearing beautifully can you leave beautiful memories!

4. The Northeast is really Is it so cold that dripping water turns into ice?

The cold in the Northeast is dry and cold, which is different from the humid cold in the South. Therefore, the temperature that feels more than 20 degrees below zero in the Northeast is the same as the temperature that feels like 0 degrees in the South. As long as you are well-equipped, you will definitely be able to play outdoors warmly. And the indoor heating in Northeast China is really good, and the indoor temperature can reach about 25 degrees.

5. Are you not used to Northeastern food?

Northeastern food tastes salty. If you have any objections, you can ask the chef. And the Northeast also has sweet and sour food: Guobao Pork. The vast majority of people will adapt to Northeastern cuisine and even become obsessed with the food here.

Notes

The winter in the Northeast is relatively cold compared to the South, but it is not as cold as imagined. The reason is that winter in the Northeast is relatively dry, so it doesn't feel as cold as the weather forecast says. And the most important thing is that there is heating indoors, and the temperature is generally above 18 degrees. When it is cold, just go back indoors and you will be warmed up. However, due to the climate characteristics of the Northeast, there are still some things to pay attention to:

1. Keep warm: The temperature difference between morning and evening is large in the Northeast winter, so cold-proof clothing, snow shoes, gloves, and hats are necessary.

① Clothes: Underwear should be soft, hygroscopic, and breathable to facilitate moisturizing and drying. Down jackets are highly functional, windproof, waterproof, warm, breathable and soft, and are the first choice for winter travel.

② Shoes: Cold starts from the feet. From the perspective of keeping warm, shoes are the most important. A pair of lightweight and warm shoes with thick soles can make you feel warm all over and prevent slipping on icy and snowy roads. The Yijiabao snow boots recommended to us by people from the Northeast are very good. They cost about 100 yuan a pair. They are affordable, warm and non-slip.

③ Gloves: Choose the five-finger type, which is convenient, flexible and warm; it is best to use the phone directly, otherwise it will be more dangerous if you don’t use your small hands to take pictures.

④Hats: Men choose Lei Feng hats, women can wear them as they look beautiful.

⑤Snow gloves: If you don’t want to get too close to the snow, there is no need to prepare snow gloves, because the snow on the road will be trampled firmly. But if you are willing to try crawling around in the snow, then you must prepare professional snow boots! We must wear snow boots when crossing Leymus Leymus Mountain.

2. Skin care and moisturizing: Because the outdoor weather in Northeast China is very dry and heaters are often used indoors for heating, the indoor air is not very circulated and the humidity is generally around 20%. Therefore, it is very important to prepare oily lipid skin care products with moisturizing effects to prevent dryness and wrinkles. It is best to put a glass of water on the bedside before going to bed to increase the humidity of the room; some friends from the south, after arriving in the Northeast Nosebleeds are caused by ruptured capillaries due to lack of water. In fact, it is very simple. Drink more water and eat more fruits every day. Bringing a lip balm is even better.

3. Eye protection: If you are a glasses person, it is best to wear contact lenses. Because the heat from your face will fill your lenses and block your vision. Sunglasses are a must. Because the sun reflects strongly on the snow, you must wear tinted glasses to protect your eyes and prevent the sun from hurting your eyes. Based on our experience, we found that the ultraviolet rays in the snow are no weaker than going to the beach in summer, and we didn’t even prepare sunscreen, so we came back completely dark.

4. Diet: Due to the low temperature in the Northeast, you can drink alcohol and eat meat as much as possible, but the taste is strong; during travel, drink as much water as possible and eat more fruits; due to the low temperature, so Calorie requirements increase accordingly. Eating more lean meats, eggs, fresh fish, soy products, and animal livers is very beneficial to replenishing body heat. You can also carry some chocolate with you to replenish calories.

In addition, it is best to carry a travel thermos bottle to ensure that you can drink hot water at any time.

5. Health care: Since there is a relatively large temperature difference between indoors and outdoors, do not go outdoors when sweating or wearing few clothes, otherwise it is easy to cause a cold. In addition to medicines that can be prepared according to personal physical conditions when going out, cold medicines in particular are essential medicines for a trip to the Northeast.

6. Protection of electronic products:

①Camera: In cold conditions, cameras are prone to malfunction, so be sure to keep the camera warm outdoors. Especially digital cameras are more afraid of freezing. When entering indoors from outdoors, be sure to wrap the camera with thick cloth or put it in a plastic bag for protection, otherwise the entire camera will be filled with water droplets due to the large temperature difference between indoors and outdoors. I saw some professionals wearing thicker clothes for their cameras than themselves

②Battery: Because the battery in the camera cannot withstand low temperatures, the camera often cannot take pictures normally. You should carry an extra battery in your pocket as a backup. Always put warm batteries in your camera.

7. Outdoor activities: When walking on ice and snow, your knees should be slightly bent, your body's center of gravity should be tilted forward, and you should walk at a small pace, so that it is not easy to slip. Choosing a good pair of snow shoes can help you solve big problems. When engaging in activities with certain risks (such as ice sports, skiing, etc.), you must follow the instructions of the coach. Before the activity, rub your hands, stamp your feet, and rub your ears to activate your muscles and bones. Pay attention to keeping the exposed skin warm. , it is less likely to get frostbite when you move around in the warmth, and it will not cause fractures and other injuries due to falling; if you accidentally cause local frostbite, apply frostbite ointment, and do not use hot water to apply it after frostbite. To prevent deeper trauma, you can rub it with snow and use cold water to relieve it, so that you can gradually recover.

8. The sunshine time in the Northeast is short, and it will basically get dark at 4:30 in the afternoon, so it is best for those who travel independently. It’s better to get up early and play, eat lunch casually and don’t waste too much time on lunch.

9. You must bring a warm sticker, it is very useful, especially if you have an Apple phone, you must have a baby warm sticker, otherwise it will be a baby. The battery is out, so everyone must remember to bring a warmer! I stick a warmer on my phone, and then put a warmer on my power bank and put it in my coat pocket to ensure that the Apple phone does not malfunction.
