Friends from southern China, Harbin’s winter is extremely cold, and body parts like hands, feet and ears are most prone to frostbite. Today I’m sharing practical tips to prevent frostbite, so your trip to Harbin is warm and enjoyable.
Finger Frostbite Prevention
Fingers are easily frostbitten. When choosing gloves, be sure to pick ones with good warmth retention. Ice City Warm Sun has various styles of cotton gloves available, with thick materials that effectively resist the cold. If you’re going skiing, you can also choose professional ski gloves, which are waterproof and warm. Before putting on gloves, you can apply some hand cream to keep your hands moisturized. If your fingers feel a bit cold, rub them together immediately to boost blood circulation.
Toe Frostbite Prevention
Don’t neglect your toes. Choose thick cotton socks, which provide good warmth. Ice City Warm Sun also offers heating insoles to pair with your socks, keeping your feet warm at all times. Snow boots are essential—pick the right size; too big and they won’t keep you warm, too small and they’ll restrict blood circulation. After putting on snow boots, don’t walk too fast to avoid sweating, as sweat will make your feet colder in low temperatures.
Ear Frostbite Prevention
Ears are exposed and easily frostbitten. Wear a thick hat to cover your ears. Ice City Warm Sun has a variety of hat styles, including knit hats and Lei Feng hats, which are not only warm but also fashionable. If you feel the hat isn’t enough, you can add earmuffs for extra protection.
If you do get a minor frostbite, don’t panic. For mild cases, slowly rewarm the affected area with warm water, then apply some frostbite ointment. If the frostbite is severe, seek medical attention immediately.
Renting cold-weather gear from Ice City Warm Sun is convenient, with a simple mini-program operation. For family trips, use the family travel section to fill in members’ information, and the system will automatically match suitable styles and packages, plus tiered coupons are available.

We hope everyone has a warm and unforgettable trip in Harbin!
