What do you mean by not bad?
Are u mean, the weather is not bad or the ice festival or something else.
Then what kind of clothes u use?

just sharing my experiences from last year Jan trip. stayed a whole week there.

Its very cold at -20 degrees

the Ice Festival side if you are going Free n easy, can go over to the Sophia cathedral front there and book tickets that comes with transport to n fro. the price are same as going there and buy, basically transport is foc.

Wear thermal wear and wind proof clothings shld be sufficient.

If you're up to it, you can go swimming
but otherwise, you can go watch the locals do their winter swim

I went a couple of years ago, so while prices are likely different now but other stuff in my blog post is probably still relevant :

Yes, layering is important and a good down jacket is a must for me... protect almost every part of you - get beanies that cover your ears, use scarf/neck gaiter to cover neck/face etc

Enjoy!

I just wear normal winter Wear, if you book normal tour packagepackage, it will cost 330RMB, pick up timing will be starting from 3pm, if I not wrong, but the time will not be enough to try out all the stuff inside, so I would suggest you go at 12pm.

If there is enough time, I would suggest you go to yanji tianci, the view there is stunning

i bath everyday and friend already said im crazy, no way im gonna swim.
i wear ard 2 layers internally. with a good outerwear, total 3 shld be gd enough.

you can go walk the 中央大街,quite a bit of shops there. still got tiger park and some tower tour. Or simply go sign up for ski tour. cheap to go but extra charges along the way adding up to 100+. optional n they not too pushy for you to take up the extras. same agent opp catheral/

Mostly because i got friend there who drives me around so i cant advise much too regarding tours. I blindly follow

Roasted lamb leg is good, worth a try!
