Winter

Weather

Yuncheng's winter, spanning from December to February, is cold. The average high hovers around 7℃, while the average low dips to -3℃. Rainfall is scant, with merely around 4mm in December and similarly small amounts in the next two months. Because the Siberian cold air mass influences the area, dry and cold northwestern winds are common. This makes the days cold yet often clear, with plenty of sunshine.

Clothing

Since it's cold in Yuncheng's winter, warm clothes are a must. Thick down jackets, wool coats, and fur - lined jackets work well to keep the cold out. Thermal underwear, sweaters, and wool scarves are needed to keep your body warm. Remember to wear warm hats, gloves, and thermal boots. If you'll be outside for a long time, shoes with good insulation are essential to protect your feet from the cold ground.

Things to Do

Yuncheng has great winter spots to explore. Go to Jiangbei Grand Canyon—cold weather turns it into a wonderland. Big ice waterfalls hang from cliffs, shining in sunlight with different colors. Walk the paths and enjoy nature’s icy sculptures. Visit Yuncheng Salt Lake too; you might see elegant swan groups floating, bringing life to winter scenery. The lake’s unique "snow - like" salt flowers in winter are rare, making it perfect to enjoy Yuncheng’s winter beauty.
