The thing I think about the most at the beginning of planning a trip is often the season.
Spring, summer, autumn and winter rotate. Undoubtedly, spring and autumn are always the most suitable seasons for travel.
What about the remaining two seasons-is it better to travel in winter or summer?
The most obvious problem with summer travel is sweating. Walking around all day, sweating, means frequent washing, so you have to prepare multiple sets of changing clothes.
Traveling in summer is also easy to worry about heatstroke. After all, not everyone can adapt to the hot weather.
Besides, there is a saying of “bitter summer”-when you play in the hot summer, your appetite will inevitably lose. Wouldn’t it be a pity if you miss the local specialties?
What if you choose to start in winter?
The most intuitive difference between winter travel and summer is clothes.
In summer, you may need to bring several sets of changing clothes, while in winter, you often only need a thick coat, and two sets of changing clothes are enough.
And winter is not as hot as summer, so you don’t sweat profusely every day.
At first, my idea was more idealistic, thinking that it was not necessary to take a bath every day when the weather was cold. But after actually taking a trip, I realized that winter travel is different from what I thought.
First of all, I thought winter wouldn’t sweat-it was just “I thought”. In fact, if you go sightseeing and walking every day, even if the temperature is not high, your body may still sweat.
The most troublesome point in winter is the change of temperature difference: clothes stick to the body after sweating. If they can’t be adjusted in time, just like heatstroke in summer, they are also easy to catch cold in winter.
Winter trips offer snowy views, which is undoubtedly romantic for southerners who have never seen heavy snow.
But walking in the snow also has practical problems to face: many people are not used to it and are prone to slipping.
The first time I spent the winter in the north, I was walking normally with my friends when I suddenly slipped. But as long as you are careful, this is not a big problem.
So, is it better to travel in summer or winter?
Summer travel, unless heading to the mountains or particularly cool areas, temperatures are always on the high side. Some people who travel in winter actually do it to avoid the cold.
There are both cold places and warm options in winter, such as Yunnan, Hainan and other places, where the winter climate is much more pleasant.
In winter in the south, flowers often bloom, and you can even see the scene of trees and flowers; In the north, such vitality is hard to find.
Winter in the north is solemn and lonely. Compared with the colorful in the south, only the vast snow scene is amazing.
Whether it is better in winter or summer may only depend on one’s mind: some people don’t want to go out in summer, while others don’t want to move in winter.
When there are more trips, there will be such a group of people-they don’t care about the seasons at all when they travel, and they will start whenever they have time.
Instead of struggling with which season is more suitable for traveling, “just go and go” has become a more distinctive style for some young people.
Travel is not a calculation of repeated weighing, but an unexpected heartbeat. How many people yearn for the distant place they have never set foot on just because of a photo or a picture?
Leaving is their response to their hearts and a collision with reality.
Travel requires certain conditions, but departure only requires a state of mind. It is the idea of “going to see the world” that pushes them to embark on a journey again and again, appreciate the colors of different seasons, and finally understand that the most interesting part of traveling is always on the road.
