Hi,
I'm planning to go to Harbin/Changchun/Shenyang/dalian on CNY with my parents and group tour. My first winter trip!
Have read through some sites that it's going to be very cold on January that may reach -20C.
Need some advice on:
1. Clothing - Read some info about the layers which are Long johns, Sweater , vest/down jacket , winter jacket. Do you have any recomended brand or shop? How bout bottoms? is jeans enough after longjohns?
2. Travel agency - was planning to go with chan bro, do you have any experience going to harbin with chan bro before? how is it?
3. Camera - Wanted to take nice pics with my 60D + my fave tamron 17-55, but can it survive with a super cold winter in Harbin? i afraid it break down after the trip. My parents going to use and suggest me to use digital camera instead. Since i'm a (small size) girl, digicam will be easier for me to take it in and out of the bag in cold temp than 60D but of course the quality wont be as good as DSLR. Read somewhere digicam wont be as hardy as DSLR in cold temp. Please advice!
