Trust the weather forecast. I don’t know where you are coming from but in china I have found the weather forecast to be 99% reliable. And in winters, dont just look at the temperature, but also the wind speed. The windy days are worse than the really cold ones. The wind, here in Beijing specially, just gets to your bones. I hated those days, you couldnt even walk or cycle in a direction opposite to it๐

Tip 2
Get a good VPN, or you will have to face sudden blank periods off your social media platforms ๐
Tip 3
I use two basic apps for All translation related things. Its a little difficult to move around in a country where hardly anyone speaks English, and you dont speak chinese ๐
Imagine you are stuck in a situation where you are supposed to read Mandarin, mayb at a bus stop or a map; Pleco is going to be your bestfrind in All such situations. All you have to do is copy down the strokes/ characters that you see, literally๏ผand it will show you what it means.
The second one is Baidu translator, and not just because you cant access Google translator without a vpn ๐ Baidu translator provides you quite accurate translations. And also, if you rarely go out and attempt to conversate with people the audio option is also available
Tip 1
Make sure your phone battery lasts long or maybe get a battery bank because your phone is going to be you best friend in China, trust me.
My phone battery lasts the whole day ( mostly) and I still lug my huge battery bank around because you never know when you might have to get on an adventure ๐ This one has been supporting me for more than a year now, and I cant imagine my life without it.
