You must bring extra pants when coming to Yunnan!!!!

You must bring extra pants when coming to Yunnan!!! It’s really super cold! As soon as I stepped outside, I was shivering from the cold, so I quickly ran back to change into pants, and only then did I feel much warmer! 🙋 Life-saving pre-trip checklist 1. Snow protection trio: fleece-lined pants + bib snow pants + thick snow socks (snow will get into your pant legs! If you wear leggings for photos, remember to layer fleece-lined pants underneath) 2. Onion layering method: quick-dry shirt + fleece jacket + windproof down jacket (the snowy plains feel like three seasons in one day, with a 20°C temperature difference between morning and night) 3. Snow protection kit: sunscreen + face mask + ski goggles + Lei Feng hat (snow reflection can sunburn your skin and hurt your eyes) 4. Emergency mini first-aid kit: frostbite cream + cold medicine + iodine swabs + heat packs (can help with frostbite, colds, and ski scrapes) 5. Moisture defense team: hydrating masks morning and night + thick hand cream + lip mask (dryness can cause cracked lips and peeling skin) - 💧 Outfit formula for photos Erhai Lake: white long dress + bright scarf (wear a fur collar for better photos) + coat + snow boots = Korean style Baisha Ancient Town: brown knit sweater + beige corduroy pants (brown vest adds a finishing touch) = vintage style Jade Dragon Snow Mountain: quick-dry shirt + fleece thermal wear + bright three-in-one shell jacket + thick shell pants (with sunglasses) = sporty style Tiger Leaping Gorge: oatmeal-colored shell jacket + black fleece pants + Martin boots (wear wool gloves) = super cool style - ❌ Pitfalls locals won’t tell you 1. Always carry waterproof gloves! After ten minutes playing in the snow, your gloves get wet and your fingers turn red and numb from the cold 2. Stick heat packs to your phone! Batteries drain super fast in low temperatures, and your phone might shut down while taking snow photos 3. Don’t wear white sneakers on Jade Dragon Snow Mountain! Melting snow makes the ground muddy, and new shoes get dirty instantly 4. Yunnan is really dry, so bring less makeup and pack your suitcase full of moisturizing products - 💡 Honestly, I recommend joining a group tour! Yunnan’s attractions are spread out, and snowy road conditions are complicated. Having a reliable guide is such a relief! They will plan the best routes for Dali, Lijiang, and Shangri-La in advance, saving you the hassle of changing local transport between scenic spots, and they know the perfect timing to capture the golden sunlight on the mountains. The guide will remind you to use heat packs so you don’t freeze, pay attention to every detail, know which restaurants serve authentic dishes, and even bring frostbite cream for friends who forget it. You don’t have to worry about anything—just enjoy playing in the snow to the fullest~
