Winter
Winter temperatures of Jiuzhaigou range from -1 ℃ to 3 ℃, and visitors need to layer garments to stay comfortable: something windproof and hooded on the outside, with wool, fleece or Capilene garments underneath. We recommend long underwear covered by wool or synthetic trousers -- not cotton jeans -- for deep snow travel. You will need outer rain pants for windy weather and wool socks and thick gaiters to keep your booted feet warm. Protect your hands with wool mittens with shells that breathe, and don't forget a mask-style stocking cap. Dark sunglasses are more important in winter than in summer because reflected high altitude sunlight can cause snow blindness.
