Items to bring: Power bank, moisturizing skincare products, thermos, resealable bag (to prevent the power bank from getting wet in the snow), thin pajamas, sunglasses, small change ⚠️A sturdy shopping bag is a must, as the temperature difference between indoors and outdoors is significant, and you'll be frequently changing clothes. With children, you'll have a lot of things to carry, so this bag can hold small, loose items. 2. Hand warmers: Don't bring too many; you won't really need them as it's too cold outside. 1. It's too hot indoors. 2. Emergency medications: cold medicine, erythromycin ointment, etc. (other supplements depending on individual constitution) ❤️Travel Tips 1. Hongqi Street in Changchun is very close to the attractions, but it's also very congested. Please allow extra time for taxis. 2. If you have limited time, it's recommended to only visit Changbai Mountain. Children can also have a lot to do. 3. Changbai Mountain: North Slope: Convenient living, well-developed infrastructure, many attractions, and the distance between attractions is not far; relatively close to Changbai Mountain Station. West Slope: Mainly focused on Tianchi Lake and skiing experiences. Staying in resort hotels is also great for children; relatively close to Changbai Mountain Airport. 4. For a more comprehensive trip, it's recommended to go in mid-December. Many activities are open, the snow is thicker, but it's also the start of the peak tourist season. 5. It gets quite dark by 4:30 PM, so arrive early if you want to go.
