Help & Advice

[cooltaze]

Hi,

Going on business trip to China on December for 1-2 weeks.
Never travel before therefore totally clueless

I will need helps and advice on basic essentials.

Been told it’s very cold so what winter wear should I buy?

Actually it depends on which part of China. China is huge hehe..

You can read up the wiki and travelwiki sites.

Going Wuxi.

Oh industrial area near Suzhou. Weather is cold but not in the negatives.

Wiki shows 1-10 Degrees. Better wear warm.

Dec is not that cold yet but some places in Jiangsu can hit below -10. Bring some warm clothing, preferably wool and something waterproof in case it rains as it tends to in winter. Winter headgear and gloves won't be needed unless temps hit negative.

Thanks, I presume I require the following?

Long Johns (tops & bottom)
Sweater
Down Jacket
Gloves & Socks (optional)
Boot
Lip Balm

Are you going to be indoors more or outdoors? If you are always indoors I would do away with the long johns la, your down jacket would be good enough.
The problem with long johns is you cannot take them out if you are feeling too hot indoors!

Another thing is your hotel; many hotels in central/eastern areas do not have central heating, and sometimes the aircon also don't have heat function! So it can be quite unbearable this way...I fallen sick twice because of that. Make sure your hotel's Aircon has heat 制çƒ* function.

As I said can do away with long john, maybe bring more layers instead so you can remove them if too hot indoors.

Things I always overlooked are sleeping attire and shoes.

Bring thick pyjamas, temp change can be quite diff at night.
For boots are they winter boots with wool on the inside? If not at least bring thick wool socks.
