Snow Town Travel Guide: Explore a Winter Wonderland

1. Transportation We recommend joining a tour group. As Snow Town is far from Yabuli, and driving in the snow can be dangerous, especially for those with no experience, joining a tour group is safer and more convenient. 2. What to Pack 1. Clothing: To keep warm, bring thermal underwear, heated inner layers, a thick down jacket, cotton pants, windproof and warm pants, wool socks, snow boots, a hat, a scarf, gloves, earmuffs, etc. Choose blue or white clothing for better photos. 2. Electronics: A phone warmer and power bank are essential. If you bring a camera, be careful when using it in low temperatures and keep it warm. 3. Other items: A thermos, sunglasses, and common medicines, just in case. 3.
