Current situation in Harbin! Don't bring the wrong things! Don't!

🧥 [Harbin extreme cold weather dressing guide, no fear of -20°C to -30°C!] 1⃣ Heat packs are a lifesaver🌾, you can't have too many! Layer a down vest and wool sweater, then wrap up in a long down jacket weighing over 300g, and you'll be a walking polar bear🐻. 2⃣ Wear quick-dry or thermal underwear to lock in heat🔥. Wear super thick knee and hip pads, and your knees will be safe from the cold wind! Add thick sweatpants or fleece-lined pants to keep out the wind and keep warm. 3⃣ Keeping your head warm is also key. Ear-covering wool hat🧢, scarf🧣, sunglasses🕶️, don't miss any of them. Full protection, beautiful and warm. 4⃣ Wool socks with heated insoles are like a little sun in winter☀️. Put on a pair of big cotton shoes from the northeast, warm and stylish, and you can walk like a model in the snow. ❄️ [Snow viewing timeline, miss it and wait a year!] January is the best time to see snow in Harbin, with thick snow like a fairy tale world. 🏰 There are more and more tourists, so remember to plan your trip in advance to avoid the peak crowds. 🔹 At the end of January, although it snows less, the temperature is still around -20° to -30°, and the snow is still beautiful. ❄️ If you want to take beautiful photos, this is also a good time. ⚠️ [Harbin travel guide, must-see!] Tip 1️⃣: Don't plan a tight schedule, the cold in Harbin is no joke. 🥶 After about two hours of outdoor activities, you need to go back to the hotel or indoors to warm up, health is the most important thing! Tip 2️⃣: The Ice and Snow World is a must-see, but remember it is open from 11:00 to 22:00, and the most beautiful moment is when the lights are turned on at 16:00-16:30, as if you are in a dazzling ice and snow kingdom. 🏰 Tip 3️⃣: The food on Central Street is tempting, but expensive and the taste varies. 🍴 Unless you are particularly interested, choose carefully to avoid disappointment. Tip 4️⃣: When buying cooked food, taste it first. The char siu and pine nut sausage at Fendou are amazing! 🤤 Tip 5️⃣: When you come to Harbin, don't think about ordering takeout. 🍽️ Experience the hospitality of the people in the northeast, and be sure to get up early for breakfast at the morning market, that's authentic! Tip 6️⃣: Da Lieba is famous, but I really don't recommend buying it. 🍞 One can last a week, unless you plan to stay in Harbin for a long time. ✅ Finally, whether you are on a group tour or traveling independently, planning is the most important thing. 📝 We chose a local pure play group, which was worry-free and avoided many pitfalls. Although we heard a lot of negative comments before we went, which made us doubt whether Harbin was worth visiting. But after experiencing it ourselves, we really felt it was worth it, the scenery was breathtaking, and we hope everyone who goes will have a great time~🥳
