Can I go to the northwest in winter?

Of course, you can go to the northwest in winter.

Is the northwest suitable for traveling in winter? I believe everyone has different views on this issue. Friends who don't like the cold are not suitable to go to the northwest in winter. It is necessary for friends who want to see the scenery in the northwest in winter to travel in winter.

The climate in northwest China belongs to temperate continental climate. Winter is cold and dry. It often snows in some cities. The air is fresh, the sky is clear, and there are all kinds of beautiful cliffs, skiing in the snowfield, having snowball fights in the snowfield, and there is Han Xiao between heaven and earth.

The northwest of winter belongs to the off-season of tourism, and many tourist attractions will offer some half-price concessions to attract tourists. Therefore, the cost of "food, accommodation and tickets" and the cost of round-trip transportation are relatively low; Summer and autumn tourist season, the cost is higher. Of course, because it is the off-season, some scenic spots are also closed, similar to the sand sliding project of Mingsha Mountain in Dunhuang. In the northwest of winter, there are few tourists, which can reflect the original beauty, tranquility and desolation of the area.

Matters needing attention in winter northwest tourism

1, cold and warm

It is necessary to travel to the northwest in winter, so keep warm. Although it is very hot in the northwest in winter, it is really super cold outside. After all, as a tourist, you can't stay indoors all the time, especially in the winter in the northwest. Moreover, because the vegetation coverage is less and the sandstorm is relatively heavy, you must take a down jacket or fur coat that is windproof and can wrap your body as much as possible, as well as accessories such as masks, hats, gloves and scarves that can prevent wind drilling. Shoes are more important. It is very important to bring a pair of light and warm shoes, and the soles must be thick and non-slip.

2. Spare medicines

Winter is the high incidence of colds, cold medicine is definitely a necessity, and it should be noted that because of the large temperature difference between indoor and outdoor, never go outdoors when sweating or wearing thin clothes. After all, catching a cold while traveling will also affect your mood. The snow-covered roads in the northwest will be hard and slippery in winter, so it is necessary to bring some medicines for falls and frostbite prevention. I suggest that you try not to expose your skin to the snow for a long time, because frostbite is a very uncomfortable thing. If you want to go to some high-altitude areas in Qinghai, you should also prepare oxygen and highly reactive drugs.

3. Keep the equipment warm

Always take pictures when traveling. Electronic products in the northwest are not very good here in winter. The battery will discharge very quickly when it is below -20℃, and cameras, mobile phones and other devices will also have the problem of button failure or forced shutdown. Therefore, it is necessary to heat the equipment after use, and charging treasure is also necessary.

4. Skiing safety

Skiing should be a must in winter. If you go to Xinjiang in winter, skiing is necessary. However, skiing is a sport that is prone to accidental injuries. Therefore, before skiing, you must wear safety protection equipment, listen carefully to the warnings of ski resort staff, and don't try outside the slide. However, if there is an accidental fracture and sprain, don't touch it at will. You need to inform the emergency personnel of the ski resort in time.

5. Prevent snow blindness

Northwest China is sparsely populated and prone to snow, and the reflection of snow during the day is relatively large, so it is very important to suggest that you go out and prepare sunglasses to protect your eyes and prevent snow blindness.

6, hydrating skin care

Winter in northwest China is particularly dry. I suggest you take a thermos cup to the northwest in winter, where there is hot water. Drinking more hot water can not only replenish water but also keep warm. The winter climate in northwest China is relatively dry, so it is recommended that you bring moisturizing skin care products. In winter, ultraviolet rays are strong in snow, so sunscreen products are also necessary.

7. Diet

The staple food in northwest China is mostly pasta and meat, so remember to bring some digestion tablets to avoid indigestion, and try to drink less alcohol in winter in northwest China. Although people in the northwest drink generously, they still drink less when traveling, especially in winter. It is said that drinking alcohol can warm the body when it is cold, but it will actually accelerate the body's calorie consumption. If you want to warm up, I suggest you drink milk tea. Northwest milk tea is mellow in taste and high in calories, which warms the stomach and prevents cold. In addition, the northwest is dry, remember to eat more fruits and vegetables.

8. Always pay attention to the weather

The climate in northwest China is changeable, and we often encounter bad weather such as ice, snow, fog and strong wind. We should always watch the weather forecast and try to avoid outdoor activities if the weather is bad. After all, travel or safety is the priority.

9. Transportation facilities

Due to the complex landform in northwest China, some areas have high altitude and steep roads, which are prone to freezing and traffic accidents in winter. It is suggested that you try to avoid taking long-distance buses, and it is better to take trains or planes to reach your destination, which is both fast and safe.

When you travel to the northwest in winter, you can enjoy the magnificent spectacle of "lonely smoke in the desert and the long river setting the yen", and you can also taste pure halal food, roll in the snow and make friends with the bold northwest. The northwest in winter is really more than the cold and biting northwest wind ~
