February remains cold, but temperatures begin to rise slightly. Snow is still possible, and the park is quiet. Chinese New Year may bring a small increase in domestic tourists, but overall it's still low season. Scenery is wintery, with frozen waterfalls and snow-covered landscapes.
Warm winter clothing is essential: down jacket, thermal underwear, fleece layers, waterproof boots, gloves, hat, and scarf. Sunglasses for snow glare. Bring moisturizer and lip balm for dry air.
Chinese New Year may cause some local businesses to close, but major hotels remain open. Book accommodations in advance if traveling during the holiday. Expect cold temperatures, especially at night.
