🧳 Travel Essentials
❶ Warm three-piece set: thickened outdoor jacket/down coat + fleece lining + thermal underwear
❷ Cold-resistant accessories: Lei Feng hat + touchscreen gloves + scarf + thick socks (warm feet, warm body!)
❸ Must-have gadgets: foot warmers + phone warmers (Apple phones instantly become warm babies)
❹ Moisturizing set: lip balm + hand cream + face mask (you know how dry the north is)
❺ Anti-slip gear: ice cleats + anti-slip shoes (rental ones at scenic spots are ugly and expensive)

🚥 Transportation Guide
✈️ Major transport:
• Recommend Harbin Taiping Airport, many domestic flights and good prices

🚘 Regional transport:
• Harbin → Snow Village: charter car 5h (choose a reputable company! Safety first on slippery snowy roads)
• Snow Village → Changbai Mountain: charter car 4h (crossing the forest sea snowfield is super healing)
• Changbai Mountain → Yanji: charter car 2h (check out Korean ethnic villages along the way)
⚠️ Choose charter cars from official travel agencies, reject unlicensed cars! Negotiate prices in advance including toll fees

🏨 Accommodation Recommendations
🏡 Harbin: stay near Central Street, super romantic to stroll around St. Sophia Cathedral at night
🏔️ Snow Village: experience a heated kang bed-stove homestay (choose newly renovated ones, clean and warm)
❄️ Changbai Mountain: recommend Wanda Resort, one-stop for skiing and hot springs
🍲 Yanji: stay near the university town, around 100 RMB per person, best value for money
