What are you wearing for a winter trip to taiwan
When it comes to planning a winter visit to pao island, the most frequently asked by many travellers is how to prepare their clothes to be comfortable and practical. Although taiwan is located in the subtropical region, there are significant regional variations in the winter climate, with three distinct temperature bands from north to south, not to mention the special climatic conditions in the mountains and coastal zones. The mere intuitive packing of clothing is likely to be accompanied by unexpected weather changes during the journey. Therefore, this paper will systematically analyse the weather features of taiwan's winter season and provide practical solutions to fit the scenes on a daily basis, so that you can cope with cold currents without being burdened with excess baggage。
Know taiwan's winter climate division
Taiwan's terrain is complex and its climate diversity is far beyond imagination. The northern region is directly affected by the north-east monsoon, with heavy winter rains, with average daily temperatures ranging from 15 to 18 degrees in the taipei basin, often lower by humidity. The effect of monsoons in the centre, as in the middle of the country, has been reduced, with a high percentage of daylight, with a temperature differential of more than 8 degrees during the day and night. The south is typical of warm winters, with comfortable temperatures of more than 20 degrees during the day, but the night winds bring clear cooling. In addition, mountains such as mount chai, mount ali, which are above 2,000 metres above sea level, may experience temperatures of less than 10 degrees or even frost in winter, in sharp contrast to coastal areas。
Core wear code: onion folding
The best strategy for dealing with climate variability is not "onions." this method of replacing a single heavy clothing by a multilayered group of thin clothes allows you to adjust quickly when the temperature differentials within and outside the room are converted. The base level recommends the choice of sweaty hot or light wool shirts, with a middle layer with a scratch of velvet, thin feathers or knitted sweaters, and the outermost layer with a windproof coat or waterproof shaving suit depending on the weather. For example, when you walk in the streets of taipei, you may need to take off your coat and enjoy the warmth of a café and re-dress it when you go outside. This flexibility is the essence of onions。
The north is wearing a full plan
When travelling in the northern regions of taipei, kirun and nine others, you must include waterproofing equipment. A hoodie with waterproof coats is far more practical than an umbrella, as the north-east monsoon is often accompanied by strong showers. The inner one can choose a medium-high-collar hair jacket with wool vests, and the lower one is recommended with short waterproof boots in shorts for waterproof treatment. Don't forget to put a pair of stockings in your backpack — when you're walking on old freshwater street and suddenly you're hit with rain, dry replacement clothes will be a life-saving straw. To go up to the mountains and visit the yangming mountains national park, additional velvet kelp is required。
Central area tightening program
Winter rainfall is less likely in the mid- and south-ward regions, but the coolness of morning and night is not negligible. It is proposed to use a three-tiered lightweight combination: long-sleeved cotton with a flannel shirt plus a windproof soft-shell jacket. When visiting a sunset or clearing farm, because of the high altitude, temperatures fall sharply after sundown and it is advisable to carry foldable thin feathers. If there are plans to ride the bicycle lanes in the middle of the station, remember to wear a light gloves to fight the cold. It would be a wise choice to have an adequate heating of indoor premises, such as a day-time shop, and to wear a sweater that would be easy to wear。
Wearing guidelines in the south
The winters of takashi and koshio were known as summer resorts, and local people in short-sleeved conditions were even seen during the day. It is noteworthy, however, that strong wind on the seaside reduces body temperature by 3-5 degrees. It is recommended to prepare a combination of long-sleeve t-shirts with light windshirts, which can be knitted in the evening while walking by the river of love. On an ecological tour to the retarding national park, it was recommended that the household minister's pants and skiding shoes in fast dry material should be used both to cope with possible showers and to protect his leg from shrubs. A cowboy coat is enough to cope with the cold and late wind when you walk around the market at night。
Special dress requirements for mountains
In high mountain areas, such as mount chai, mount yu, above 3,000 metres above sea level, winter temperatures may fall below zero. In addition to basic warm underwear and fowl clothing, fur hats (with good ears), warm gloves and scarfs are required. High-water-resistant slabs are preferred, and socks recommend wool-based double-layering. In the event of a cold current, heating on the knees and abdomen is an additional safeguard. In particular, there is a reminder that the weather in mountain areas is changing very quickly and that even at the foot of the mountain the sun is bright, it is essential to have emergency warm clothing in the backpack。
Practical equipment for the coastal area
The winter winds along the western coast of taiwan are strong, and wind-proofing is more important than keeping warm when travelling to seaside attractions such as new bamboo and chills. It is proposed to select a hood coat with wind-proof coats, with a scarf with tight weaves, to prevent a storm. It would be preferable for glasses to be replaced by contact lenses or to choose a skating frame. With respect to footwear, leather-based martin boots are both windproof and suitable for the beach terrain. If you plan to visit the geological landscape on the northeast coast, you'll be advised to choose a colored coat. – in the middle of the grey sky, bright clothes increase both the photo effect and safety。
Science of material selection
While clothing materiality has a direct impact on the heating effect, wool and feathers are the preferred choice, taiwan's wet and cold winter environment needs to focus more on ventilating. Melinus wool is both warm and wetty management and suitable as a base layer. Mid-level clothing recommends synthetic feathers filled with polyester fibres, which can be partially heated even by the tide. The outer layer should select high-emission-resistant water surfaces, such as high-altitude (gore-tex) technical fabrics with both water-resistant and air-emission features. To avoid the use of pure cotton material as a bottom, as wet cotton cloths continue to take body heat。
The embellishment of the painting
It is often essential to improve comfort. A pair of wool socks is heavier than the thick boots, and silk scarfs around the neck prevent the loss of heat from the neck. Folded fur hats do not occupy space, but can save head temperature while viewing stars. It is proposed to prepare two pairs of gloves: the thin amount applicable to the touch screen is used to operate the mobile phone, and the waterproofness is used for mountain activities. With regard to the choice of rain tools, raincoats are more suitable for windy areas such as nine mountain cities than umbrellas. If you carry a camera device, make sure you have a rainproof condom for the camera。
Shoes with full analysis
The preparation of two pairs of shoes in accordance with the characteristics of the journey is an ideal option: one pair of waterproof walking shoes is used for outdoor activities and one pair of light and leisure shoes is suitable for urban strolls. In the heavy-rained northern region, it is recommended to choose leather boots with waterproof shoes, while footing in the central mountainous region requires strong grounding shoes, and southern cities can be equipped with stylish and comfortable gaskets. Special attention is paid to the fact that many temples in taiwan need to enter with their shoes removed, and the choice of easy shoes can be greatly facilitated. When visiting the northern hot springs during the winter, do not forget to prepare slippers for the hot springs。
Special dress advice for infants and young children
Special attention needs to be paid to temperature regulation when taking young children with them. It is recommended that the dress doctrine should be followed in one layer more than that of adults, and composing pajamas can be effective in preventing cold kicks at night. The cart should be equipped with a wind and rain shield and a warm foot kit with a warm-backed baby emergency. The difference between thermal and outdoor temperature of the mall may be more than 10 degrees, due to the timely addition and reduction of clothing during indoor and outdoor conversions. Choosing a colored child suit is not only a cute picture, but also a quick way to locate a child in a human mood。
Laundry and baggage optimization techniques
The size of the winter clothing is such that delicate packing can release the luggage space. Fashion suits can be processed in vacuum compressed bags, and the collage is more space-efficient than folding. The selection of dark-coloured clothing reduces the frequency of laundry and the matching of the same-coloured system creates multiple configurations. The taiwan convenience store generally provides a self-service laundry service, and it is wiser to carry small-packed laundry fluids than to carry a large amount of laundry. It is proposed to reserve 20 per cent of the suitcase space for the collection of souvenirs purchased during the journey。
Practical tool for weather forecasting
Two weeks before departure, attention was paid to the taiwan central meteorological service's website version forecast, with particular attention to the "physical temperature" indicator. An instant weather alert application is installed, and the road forecast of the directorate general of roads must be consulted before mountain travel. If there are plans to travel to areas of the highlands such as mount ali, access to the dedicated mountain weather service website is available for accurate temperature curves per hour. Bearing in mind the excuse of "hot, cold, cold and warm south" but also to maintain a flexible attitude to sudden weather changes。
Special scene dress guide
When participating in outdoor events such as the new year's eve, it is proposed to use the four-layer structure of "hand-a-shirt + sweater + light feather + windproof jackets" with a set of charged warm handies. The hotel accommodation in the springs remembers the preparation of separate bathing suits and bathing robes for easy wear. The visits to temples need to avoid over-exposed clothing, and women can carry their capes to respond to demands in the field. In the search of night-market foods, dark-coloured clothing avoids the embarrassment of spilling sauce, while flexible fabric provides comfortable space for eating abdomen。
Cultural dresser
Taiwan society had relatively liberal dress requirements, but there was still a need to avoid cuffing and short skirts when visiting religious sites. In business, men are advised to prepare their leisure suits, and women can carry a chauvin scarf with them. In the traditional market early shopping, it is advisable to choose between smooth shoes and wet floors, while indoor sites, such as museums, need to be equipped with acceptable jackets for strong air conditioning. Remember the tradition of "go-in-the-door" shoes, which make you more integrated。
Emergency equipment list
It is recommended in the backpack that there be a standing provision: folding raincoats, thin gloves, back-up socks, small packaged wet paper towels, seal bags (to protect the tide of electronic products). In addition to the regular medication, the kit can be supplemented with a bar to mitigate nose plugs to deal with allergies caused by temperature differentials. For electronics, cell phones are charged in a large volume format, and low temperatures accelerate battery consumption. Camera equipment needs to be sensitive to fog protection from the lenses that enter the warm room outside the cold room。
Smart travelers understand that winter travel to taiwan is not only about comfort but also directly affects the quality of travel experience. With science's stratification and regionalization of equipment, you're perfectly ready. The most important thing is to remain flexible — perhaps in a little cold morning, you'll walk into a convenience store and buy a can of hot drinks, holding the warmth and continuing to explore the beauty of the winter of the island. After all, the best travel equipment is always an open mind and a surprise eye。
