Before you travel

1. It is recommended to bring warm and windproof clothes. Because the temperature difference between indoor and outdoor in Northeast China is large, the outermost layer of the upper body should be worn with a thicker coat that is easy to put on and take off.

2. Protect your ears and feet. Wearing a hat or scarf can protect your ears; wearing thick soles or thick socks is essential to protect your feet. As there are slippery snowy roads in some areas of the Northeast, please wear well-fitting and non-slip shoes.

3. In the windy or extremely cold weather in some areas of the Northeast, excessive cold air inhaled through the nose will cause short-term nasal congestion, so it is also necessary to prepare a thick mask or scarf.

4. Due to the large temperature difference in the Northeast, please bring insulated water cups.

5. The climate in Northeast China is changeable, and some scenic spots may not be visited due to weather reasons. Ultraviolet radiation is relatively high in the mountains, so you should take special precautions when going out and drink plenty of water. It is very important to prepare oily lipid skin care products with moisturizing effects to prevent dryness and wrinkles. It is recommended to use skin care products appropriately before going to bed indoors. Putting a glass of water on the bedside can increase the humidity of the room. Some friends from the south will have nosebleeds after arriving in the Northeast. This is caused by the rupture of capillaries due to lack of drinking water.

6. Northeast China is cold and the local food is often strongly seasoned. Tell your guide early if you need any dietary adjustments. Drink plenty of water and eat fresh fruit during the trip. Chocolate can be handy for extra energy. A travel flask will let you carry hot water. Stick to purified water and fresh fruit while adjusting to local conditions, and avoid unhygienic roadside snacks. Late-night food stalls are generally unavailable, and most shops close around 6 p.m.

7. This group stayed at a local star-rated quasi-hotel and an Arctic Village B&B. Due to the heavy snowfall in winter, the appearance looks older. Due to local conditions, there is a certain gap between it and city hotels. Nowadays, the temperature difference in Northeast China is relatively large. The heating control temperature of each hotel is different, and there may be non-constant temperature. Please understand. The room is relatively dry, so you can place a basin of water in the room to adjust the degree of dryness.

(1) Remember the name, approximate location of the hotel, and the room number of the tour guide and tour leader (it is recommended to get a hotel card).

(2) After entering the room, first check whether the facilities in the room are in good condition.

(3) Understand the items consumed in the room (wine, snacks, TV videos, bath soap, etc.), only consume if necessary, and please go to the front desk to check out after consumption (you need to pay for the items at your own expense/please note the specific prices of the items consumed in the reminder book).

(4) When moving in the room, pay attention to the integrity of the fireworks and facilities, and finish all work for the day before 12:00 that night. Adjust the air conditioner or heating to a suitable temperature before going to bed, and close the doors and windows.

(5) If you need to go out at night (visiting relatives, late-night snacks), it is recommended not to go alone, and go to regular places for consumption. Say hello to the group leader or tour guide when going out, return to the hotel as early as possible, take valuables with you, and close the door when leaving the room.

(6) Please lay down a non-slip mat before taking a shower, confirm the normal water temperature, and turn on the exhaust fan before taking a shower.

(7) Please confirm all your luggage, valuables and documents again before checking out the next day.

(8) In case of theft, notify the service desk as soon as possible.

9. Therefore, the scenic spots on the itinerary are far away. Visiting each scenic spot on the itinerary requires taking a car. The ride time is long. Visitors are asked to be mentally prepared and prepare food and water on the car. Place items on the luggage rack safely and carry valuables with you on and off the vehicle to avoid loss. Please remember the group number and license plate number clearly during the tour to avoid getting on the wrong bus. When riding, be sure to hold on to the handrails of the car to prevent slipping and injury when braking. Please abide by the meeting place and time specified by the tour guide. The Xuexiang area is close to mountainous areas, and some parts are mountain roads, but the entire journey is cement or asphalt roads. The road conditions are good and bumps are rare. Tourists who suffer from motion sickness should try to bring their own motion sickness medicine.

10. Although the public security in Northeast China is relatively good, the tourist attractions and hotels in Northeast China are in the peak tourist season and there are many crowds. Therefore, you must keep your valuables safe and ensure your personal property and personal safety. Please listen to the tour guide's precautions during the tour. When doing outdoor activities, be sure to follow the tour guide's instructions and refrain from engaging in dangerous activities (especially when engaging in ice and snow activities and skiing). Please be sure to pay attention to your own personal safety and property safety when you go out. Please prepare personal medicines and daily necessities such as Po Chai pills, motion sickness (shipping) medicine, cold medicine, and hemostatic patches.

11. Since the Northeast region is located at the intersection of the three countries, please bring your ID card with you when traveling. Just in case of emergencies.

12. Every time you leave a place, please check your belongings carefully and do not leave anything behind. Please maintain a normal attitude when you are away from home. Since traveling is definitely not as comfortable as when you are at home, don’t be impatient when things happen. Please understand each other and help each other. Please pay attention to arrange time to rest. In case of emergencies during the team's travels, please remember to keep your phone number with you. Since the Northeast itinerary includes ice activities, mountains, lakes and other activities that may endanger tourists’ personal and property safety, it is recommended that guests purchase personal accident insurance!
