Travel Tips & Precautions for Yichun

First, wear warm winter footwear. Lightweight yet insulated shoes keep your whole body cozy. Second, bring a lightweight down jacket, with a sweater underneath. Pack an extra sweater if you are sensitive to cold. Third, put on thermal wool trousers; wear corduroy pants or knee pads over thin down pants. Fourth, a scarf and gloves are essential winter gear. No need to worry about indoor temperatures — all indoor spaces stay above 18°C, warm and comfortable.

Camera batteries drain much faster in frigid weather. Prepare a spare battery, as the stunning scenery will consume power rapidly. To keep batteries warm: tuck your camera inside your coat when not shooting, or take out the battery and warm it in your pocket to extend its service life.

Northern China sees heavy snow accumulation in winter. Snow reflects intense sunlight, so wear sunglasses outdoors to protect your eyes from snow blindness.

Bring a thermos flask, moisturizer and lip balm. Wilderness explorers should also prepare flashlights, down sleeping bags and other outdoor camping supplies.

Yichun is among China’s cities with the lowest average temperatures. Even in midsummer, there is a sharp temperature difference between day and night in forest areas, so bring sufficient layers of clothing.

Insect repellent is a must for forest trips. Wear gloves to avoid scratches and waterproof outerwear.
