Clothing: During winter travel in Northeast China, temperatures in cities along the route are low, ranging from 0℃ to -30℃ or lower in some areas. There is a significant temperature difference between indoors and outdoors, so it is recommended to choose loose-fitting clothing that is easy to put on and take off. The climate in the Northeast is dry, and both indoors and tour vehicles have heating, so it will not feel too cold. A down jacket, sweater, and thermal underwear are usually sufficient, except at the ski resort. Keeping your feet warm is especially important; it is recommended to prepare a pair of thick-soled, non-slip fur boots. You may want to choose a size slightly larger to accommodate extra insoles or thick socks. Also, bring lightweight, windproof gloves, a scarf, a warm hat, or earmuffs. If you want to take great photos, you can prepare several hats in different styles and colors, which can also be swapped with travel companions. If you do not want to carry them, you can purchase affordable and high-quality cold-weather gear at your first stop in the Northeast, where there is a wide variety of materials and types available.
Alpine Skiing: Skiing is an exciting experience, but it carries risks for unprepared beginners. Please assess your own physical condition and act within your capabilities. Skiing consumes a lot of energy; it is recommended to replenish with chocolate and water beforehand. Be sure to stretch and warm up your joints before skiing. When walking on icy ground, keep your knees slightly bent and your center of gravity forward to avoid slipping. Read the ski resort's guidelines carefully before skiing, understand the relevant rules, and learn basic techniques from an instructor. During skiing, please follow the staff's instructions and do not enter forests or advanced ski slopes without authorization. Skiing activities in the itinerary are mostly located in forest areas; travelers must be careful with fire and smoking is strictly prohibited in the wild.
Eye Protection: In the northern winter, the snow is deep and reflects light strongly. Be sure to wear sunglasses when going out to protect your eyes from snow blindness caused by reflected sunlight.

Please keep your personal belongings safe. Carry your ID and valuables with you at all times; do not leave them with others or leave them in the vehicle or room. The travel agency is not responsible for any loss. During free time, please pay attention to your personal safety and the safety of your belongings.
