This Christmas, the Alaskan Aurora is everywhere.

🎄Alaska|𝑨𝒍𝒂𝒔𝒌𝒂 🧐Explore glaciers and snow-capped mountains, 🛷Experience dog sledding 😍Chase the colorful aurora, 😮Feel the mysterious beauty of the Arctic . ————🥶Dressing Guide———— 🧥 Upper body: Alaska's winter is very cold, with average temperatures ranging from -10°C to -30°C, so you need to prepare a thick down jacket or jacket, preferably waterproof and windproof. You'll also want to wear a thermal underwear layer and a sweater or fleece for added warmth. 👖Lower body: You can choose a pair of down pants or fleece-lined combat pants, and match them with a pair of warm leggings to prevent your legs from freezing. 🥾Shoes: You need a pair of non-slip and warm shoes, preferably with a certain upper to prevent snow from entering the shoes. You can also put a non-slip cover on the outside of your shoes to make walking on icy and snowy roads more stable. . ————💯Must-visit places———— [Fairbanks] This is one of the best places to observe the aurora in Alaska. You can choose to stay in an aurora cabin or take an aurora viewing tour and enjoy the wonderful experience of watching the colorful lights in the sky on a cold night. [Anchorage] There are many professional dog sledding companies here that can take you to experience this traditional Alaskan sport. You can interact closely with the cute sled dogs, or you can drive the sled yourself and feel the thrill of speeding. [Danili National Park] You can take a helicopter or a small plane to enjoy the spectacular scenery of glaciers and snow-capped mountains from the air, or you can hike or snowshoe on the ground to feel the charm of nature. [Sitka] You can take a cruise to watch marine life such as seals, sea lions, dolphins, seabirds, and even whales. You can also admire the majestic glaciers on the shore or visit the local Indian culture and Russian relics. . ————🤓6-day route reference in Alaska in winter———— 𝑫1: Various places - Anchorage 𝑫2: Anchorage – Danieli National Park – Anchorage 𝑫3: Anchorage-Sitka 𝑫4: Sitka-Anchorage 𝑫5: Anchorage-Fairbanks 𝑫6: Fairbanks—Return . ⚠Tips: Transportation in Alaska is not convenient in winter, and public transportation is not available in many places. You can rent a car and drive yourself, so that you can travel more comfortably. . ————🤔Play suggestions———— ① Watching the Northern Lights - Try to stay away from city light pollution and choose an open place, preferably with some reflective water, which can increase the brightness and color of the Northern Lights. The best time to view the aurora is from 10 pm to 2 am. Be patient and lucky, and don't give up. ②Dog sledding - Please follow the guide's instructions carefully, do not touch or feed the sled dogs at will, and do not scare or disturb them. When on the sled, keep your balance and stability, and do not stand up or move suddenly, which may affect the movement of the sled. ③Explore glaciers and snow-capped mountains - pay attention to safety, do not walk around or touch anything at will to avoid the risk of slipping or falling. ④Ocean Park - Respect marine life, do not get too close or try to touch them, and do not throw anything at them to avoid disturbing or harming them. If you want to take pictures, use silent mode to avoid flashes or noise. .
