Compared with the south, the winter in the northeast is relatively cold, but it is not as cold as expected. The reason is that the winter in the northeast is relatively dry, so it doesn't feel as cold as the weather forecast says. Indoor heating, the general temperature is above 18 degrees. However, due to the climate characteristics in Northeast China, there are still some matters needing attention:

1. Keep warm: There is a big temperature difference between morning and evening in winter in Northeast China. Please add or subtract clothes, winter clothes, snowshoes, gloves and hats according to the temperature.

Clothes: Underwear should be soft, hygroscopic and breathable, which is beneficial to dry skin. If you have a suit, try to wear it, thermal underwear+sweater+fleece+jacket = the first choice to keep out the cold! If there is no jacket, a down jacket with windproof, waterproof, warm and soft texture is also a good choice!

2 shoes: "Cold starts from the foot" From the perspective of warmth, shoes are the most important; A pair of light and warm shoes with thick soles can make you feel warm all over and prevent you from slipping on the ice and snow road. Mountaineering shoes are the first choice. From an economic point of view, a pair of anti-slip cotton shoes around 100 yuan can also be used.

③ Gloves: Choose five-finger cotton gloves or fleece gloves, which are convenient, flexible and warm (don't wear leather gloves, it is easy to get frostbite).

4 hat: It is recommended to choose a simple and dense wool hat. The only requirement is that it can wrap your ears!

Remarks: If it is inconvenient to buy or carry around in your hometown, you can also choose to buy some cheap and suitable products in the first stop city in Northeast China, where there are many textures and varieties to choose from.

⑤ Backpack: It is recommended to use a backpack, just a backpack for junior donkeys (it is best not to use luggage case, there is no backpack, and then choose luggage case).

⑥ Snow cover: The snow is very thick during crossing. If there is no snow cover, shoes and trousers can easily get into the snow, resulting in wet dew and ice. So far, prairie walkers have prepared snow covers for everyone to use outdoors for free!

2, skin care, moisturizing, sunscreen: Because the outdoor weather in Northeast China is very dry, indoor heating, indoor air is not very circulating, the humidity is generally around 20%.

Therefore, it is very important to prepare oily lipid skin care products with moisturizing effect, which can prevent dryness and cracking. It is best to use skin care products properly before going to sleep indoors. Putting a glass of water on the bedside table can increase the humidity of the room. Some friends in the south will have nosebleeds when they arrive in the northeast, which is caused by the rupture of capillaries due to lack of drinking water.

Actually, it's very simple. Just drink more water and eat more fruits every day. It is better for a lady to bring a lip balm. The sun and ultraviolet rays in winter in the north are also very strong, so sunscreen must be prepared.

3, eye protection: if it is a glasses family, it is best to choose to wear contact. Because the hot air on your face will fill your lens and block your vision. Sunglasses are indispensable. Because of the strong sunlight reflection in the snow, if you don't wear sunglasses for a long time, you will have snow blindness, which will do great harm to your eyes. It is necessary to wear colored glasses to protect your eyes from the sun.

4. Diet: Because of the low temperature in Northeast China, you can drink and eat meat as much as possible, but the taste is biased. Therefore, if there is any inadaptability in diet, you should raise it with the team leader as soon as possible to make adjustments.

On the way to travel, drink as much water as possible and eat more fruits; Because the temperature is low, the required calories increase accordingly. Eating more lean meat, eggs, fresh fish, bean products and animal liver is very beneficial to supplement the human body's calories, and you can also carry some chocolate with you to supplement the calories.

In addition, be sure to bring a thermos bottle for travel, so as to ensure that you can drink hot water at any time.

5, health care: Because there is a relatively large temperature difference between indoor and outdoor, so don't go outdoors when sweating or wearing little clothes, otherwise it will easily cause a cold.

6. Protection of electronic products:

① Camera: In cold conditions, the camera is prone to malfunction, so be sure to keep the camera warm outdoors. Especially digital cameras are more afraid of freezing.

Be sure to keep the camera warm outdoors. It is best to hide it in your arms and enter the room from the outside. Remember to wrap the camera in thick cloth or put it in the camera bag for protection, otherwise the whole camera will regain its moisture and be covered with water drops due to the large temperature difference between indoor and outdoor.

② Battery: The camera battery can't take pictures normally because it can't resist the low temperature. You should bring an extra battery in your pocket for backup. If the battery doesn't work at low temperature, it can be used normally after it is restored to body temperature and then put into the camera.

③ Film: The film is very brittle after freezing, so when pulling the film outdoors, don't use too much force, otherwise, the film will be easily broken.
