How to determine the direction on a cloudy day

When the sky is dark and foggy in the wilderness, some people tend to feel dizzy and cannot distinguish between east, west, north and south. This will bring difficulties to travel, and at the same time, it will also be dangerous. At this time, if there is no special instrument for positioning, you can use ground objects to determine the direction:

1. Independent large trees usually have lush branches and leaves in the south and smooth bark; leaves are sparse and bark is rough in the north. Its south side is usually lush with grass, while its north side is humid and covered with moss.

2. For buildings and mounds, the snow in the north melts slowly, but the opposite is true for pits and other sunken places.

3. The main entrances of larger temples and pagodas in northern my country and the doors and windows of independent houses in rural areas mostly open to the south.

4. The grass is denser at the northern edge of the clearing in the forest.

5. The growth ring pattern on the cross section of the tree stump is generally larger in the south and smaller in the north.

6. In the grasslands and desert areas of northern my country, northwest winds blow frequently. Many snow dragons and dragons often form near the grasslands. Their heads are large and their tails are small. The direction of their heads is northwest.

7. The doors of yurts on the grassland mostly open to the southeast.
