What part of China that I should take my younger brothers so they can finally see the snow?
We live in the Philippines while we have no winter. I knew the snow when I was in Europe, but my brothers did not. We expect to go to China next month, which I think is time for winter. What part of China becomes thick blanket of snow? I do not want to disappoint my brothers. Although part of our journey is to see the Great Wall is already "big", but sure enough, it would really well if they can see snow too.
You'll find snow in winter in Beijing, but a few hours north by train to take you quickly Liaonning (Shenyang), Heilongjiang (Harbin), and Jilin (Changchun). Great places to experience the magic of winter in the land Manju … Otherwise, come to Yellowknife at any time between October and May! We have a large (relative to our population) Filipino community who are accustomed to the surprisingly cold in no time.
