[Heart]Travel methods If you are traveling to Alaska during the winter (Aurora season) (October to early April), you have 2 options: [Dolphin] Fly to Anchorage (transportation hub)—after hiking on the glacier, take a train/plane to Fairbanks [Dolphin] Fly to Fairbanks (City of Aurora) - watch the aurora / soak in hot springs / play dog sledding / explore the Arctic Circle [Dolphin] Plan your trip Most tourists will take Alaska Airlines, transfer in Seattle, and fly to Anchorage for 2 days (glacier hiking) Then go to Fairbanks—you can fly for 1 hour or take the 12-hour Aurora Train Many tourists choose to fly to Fairbanks, which is more time-saving. When renting a car, please choose snow tires and four-wheel drive. When driving, please do not overtake within the speed limit of 40 miles. Download offline maps in advance. There are more traffic accidents in winter, so drive with caution. [Dolphin] Weather during Thanksgiving/Christmas in November: 0 to below -10℃ [Dolphin]December: Average -10℃, even as low as -20℃ or -30℃ to chase the aurora The best time to watch the aurora: 22:00 to 02:00 in the morning Due to light pollution, it is difficult to see the aurora in downtown Fairbanks, so you can only go to the suburbs For light chasing, it is recommended to use Aurora Forecast to check the burst time and intensity of the day in advance. [Heart] A guide to entertainment projects [Dolphin]➊You should wear more clothes when sledding, the wind will be very cold on your face [Dolphin]❷It is recommended to soak in Chena Hot Spring before sunset. The lights after dark are very strange. [Dolphin]➌Snowmobile requires a US/Chinese driver’s license. Fishing on ice lakes depends on your luck. [Dolphin]➎If you choose to explore the Arctic Circle, self-driving is not recommended due to poor road conditions in Dalton The Blue Ice Cave only has tour dates in mid-December. It collapsed after the earthquake and you can still go there. Whether it is worth it depends on your personal choice. [Heart] Recommended itinerary [Dolphin]Day1: Fairbanks airport pick-up—Aurora observation in cabin [Dolphin]Day2: The Dalton Highway crosses the Arctic Circle—Dynamic Auroral Observation [Dolphin]Day3: Santa Claus Village—Reindeer Watching—Jenna Hot Springs—Aurora Observation [Dolphin]Day4: Check into the glass house of Arctic lgloo Resort - lie down and watch the aurora
