⚠️【Notes】
❄️ Book Snow Village accommodation 1 month in advance! Kang beds are hard to get in peak season
🌡️ iPhones shut down easily in cold, stick heat packs + camera is more reliable
🚗 Don’t drive yourself if you’re not experienced! Charter with snow chains is safer on icy roads
🧥 Dressing rule: thin inside, thick outside (indoor heating is strong), easy to layer and remove

This winter, with someone special,
Leave your footprints in the deepest snow,
Scatter your laughter on the frozen river,
After all, only subzero temperatures deserve the hottest memories～💫
