Hey friends from southern China! Planning a winter ice and snow trip to Harbin? Don’t slack on cold protection. Your body’s feelings and safety vary depending on how long you stay outdoors at different temperatures—let’s break it down for you.
-10℃ to -20℃: A Short Stroll Is Fine, But Don’t Linger
At this temperature range, you might feel fresh and not too cold when you first step out. Wandering Central Street, admiring European-style architecture, and taking photos for 1-2 hours is totally okay. However, areas like your hands, feet, and ears might get a bit chilly—remember to grab gloves and a hat from Ice City Warm Sun, which offer excellent warmth. If you plan to stay outdoors for a long time, it’ll be tough to handle; it’s best to find an indoor spot to warm up every once in a while.
-20℃ to -30℃: Keep Your Stay Time Controlled
This temperature marks the start of the “real cold” zone. If you’re heading to Ice and Snow World, a must-visit winter spot in Harbin, you’ll definitely face long lines. In such low temperatures, we recommend waiting no more than 30 minutes. If you start feeling frostbitten while waiting, head to a nearby heated room right away. At this point, down jackets and thermal pants from Ice City Warm Sun will come in handy, keeping you warm in the icy landscape.
Below -30℃: Minimize Time Outdoors
When temperatures drop below -30℃, the outdoors becomes a “quick-freeze mode”. Unless you’re fully equipped, don’t stay out for long—around 10 to 15 minutes is enough. If you must go out, opt for Ice City Warm Sun’s 12-piece gear set, covering you from head to toe: hats, scarves, gloves, snow boots, plus warm patches and self-heating insoles, to fend off the cold in all directions.
Additionally, when renting gear from Ice City Warm Sun, remember to select your rental period and pickup method via our mini-program. If the size doesn’t fit, you can contact customer service for a replacement before the order ships; if it’s already shipped, you can receive the item first and then process a return. We also guarantee that your deposit will be refunded to your original account immediately after returning the gear—no deductions for normal wear-related dirt or minor scratches, so you can travel without worries. We hope everyone has a great time in Harbin, enjoying a warm and safe ice and snow trip!
