Escape to a Magical Winter Wonderland! 一起奔向冬季秘境吧!

Winter

Wonderland

Grey skies, cold temperatures, and a general air of malaise – winter isn’t our favourite season of the year. However, there’s no denying that a fluffy white snowscape has a unique sense of magic about it.
灰色的天空、寒冷的天气和不佳的空气——冬季不是我们最爱的季节。但不可否认,一片白茫茫的雪景确实有一种独特的魅力。

Do something different this year – skip the tropical sunny beach resorts and bundle up for some winter magic instead. (or at least play in the snow  first before hopping on a direct flight to Southeast Asia)

今年来点儿新花样,先跳过热带暖洋洋的沙滩,奔向冬季魅力雪景!

(或先打个雪仗,再跳上去往东南亚的航班)

Harbin – Heilongjiang Province

黑龙江哈尔滨

The most populated metropolitan area in Northeast China, Harbin is known as

‘The Ice City’ for its bitterly cold winters, Russian influence, and winter recreation.

Under the direct influence of the Siberian Anticyclone, the daily average tempuerate is -19.7C in winter. Yikes.  However, that cold winter air ensures that the beautiful Harbin Ice Festival can take place every year! We visited this festival a few years back, and believe us, its incredible.

哈尔滨是中国东北地区人口最多的城市,因酷寒的冬季、俄罗斯的影响和冬季娱乐以“冰城”著称。在西伯利亚反气旋的影响下,冬季日均温为-19.7摄氏度。不得了。但寒冷气候也造就了哈尔滨每年举办的冰雪节!

我们几年前去体验过,相信我,绝了。

Totally worth the cold. To warm up though, we did enjoy copious amounts of hotpot, fresh Harbin beer, and even outdoor street skewers.

完全值得一试。为了暖和一点我们确实吃了不少

火锅,配着哈尔滨啤酒,还有街边小吃!

Mohe – Heilongjiang Province

黑龙江漠河

Mohe is pretty much as far north as you can go in China. It’s located in the northwest of

Heilongjiang province near the border with Russia. If Harbin was a bit too chilly for your blood, don’t even think about coming here. Winter begins in the middle of October and lasts until the end of April.

The temperatures are the coldest in all of China, and Mohe lays just south of the permafrost border. The coldest temperature recorded here was a frightening -52.3C. Why would anyone visit? Well, on rare occasions you can spot the Aurora Borealis!

漠河是中国最北边的城市。它位于黑龙江西北部,与俄罗斯接壤。如果哈尔滨对你来说已经够冷了,那这儿可更冷。这里冬季从十一月中旬持续到第二年四月底。算是中国最冷的地方了,漠河就在永久冻土边界的南面。这儿的最低气温记录是可怕的-52.3摄氏度。

为什么会有人来这里!

那是因为你有可能在这儿欣赏到美丽的极光!

Also, the winter vibes are pretty cool as long as you’re bundled up. Protip – hit up Decathalon for high-quality, low-priced winter gear before you visit.

再说了,只要我穿得够多够暖,冬天就不那么冷了。小贴士——去之前到迪卡侬购置一点物美价廉的冬季装备吧!

Atlay – Xinjiang Province 

新疆阿勒泰

This one is all about the nature. Bonus points if you’re a snowboarder or skiier! Sometimes (well, actually a lot of times), we just want to get out of the city and leave all the grey concrete and neon lights behind. Atlay is a great destination to do so.

来感受大自然吧。

如果你是个滑雪爱好者那更推荐你来了。

大多数时候我们都只想从城市逃离,

远离钢筋森林和灯红酒绿。

阿勒泰就是我们的目的地。

You can trek to crystal clear rivers and hike up mountains for stunning winter views. If you dare, you can proceed to strap yourself to some flimsy skiis or a snowbard and shred the slope down.

你可以穿过清澈的溪流,

爬上高山欣赏绝美的冬景。

如果你胆子够大,

你甚至可以在这里滑雪,驰骋阿勒泰。

Anyway we look at it, the winter nature views are just incredible.

任何一个角度,这里的冬景都是绝美的。

Changbai Mountain – Jilin Province

吉林长白山

via chinadaily

Changbai Mountain or Paektu Mountain, depending on what country you’re in, is a legendary place. It’s an active stratovolcano that’s located on the border of North Korea and China. It’s considered a mythical mountain in Korean culture and is prominently featured in the North Korean national emblem and national anthem. What do you see if you hike all the way up to the top? You get a crater lake that sits in the caldera of the volcano.

长白山(白头山)是个传奇之地,

是一座位于朝鲜和中国边界的活火山。

在朝鲜文化中这是一种神秘的山,

在朝鲜国歌和国徽中都有出现。

山顶是什么样呢?

你会发现一池美丽的火山口湖。

It’s aptly named ‘Heaven Lake.’ We think it fits the bill.  You’d be hard-pressed to find anywhere in the Changbai Mountain range that isn’t gorgeous in the winter.

它被誉为“天池”,名副其实。

冬天的长白山处处美如画,令人向往。

However, once you’re too cold to carry on, we highly recommend visiting a hot spring to warm up. It’s the perfect end to a day of winter hiking.

如果你承受不了严寒不能进行探索,

我们强烈建议你去温泉取暖,

完美结束一天的冬季徒步大冒险。
