I think Xinjiang and Inner Mongolia are colder than Heilongjiang

Zhangjiakou (张家口) is going to host a fabulous 2022 Olympics!

As a winter sports fan myself I hope that the 2022 Winter Olympics will give a powerful impetus to develop winter sports, such as alpine skiing, cross-country skiing, ski jumping, biathlon, luge etc. in China.
Is vodka more effective or sake ? :p :p
how about this manly activity...
You've never been to Hokkaido then during winter. It gets really really bad . I've been to Heilongjiang during winter, and as a northerner myself , the winter there is similar to southern Hokkaido.
Your week long anecdotal experience does not disprove that on average, Heilongjiang and much of Northern China is colder than Sapporo.
I would have to agree. The closer you get to Siberia and the further landlocked you become, the colder it gets. The same thing happens here in Canada....even the Great Lakes have quite a moderating effect....and the Oceans a much more appreciable one.
However snow is another matter altogether. I have noticed there is a sweet spot between distance to coastline and frigidity of the location. If you are too far inland, you don't get that much snow because little precipitation really makes it there (other than the really major systems which are hit and miss and a coin flip for the most part)......compared to being somewhat nearer (but not too near) a major source of water where weather patterns can keep recharging their carrying of precipitation and thus snow.
Snow to me actually makes the weather "warmer" on the whole compared to open tundra-like weather....where snow-less wind will cut you like a knife.
Yes you could be right in that snow makes the weather "warmer", given that snow can act as an insulator, which is why people built igloos rather than just sleeping in the open cold. Perhaps someone here with more insight can confirm this speculation though.

Chicken (or duck) soup with ginger.
That's the favorite here in cold days.
Better yet, a hot pot ( 火锅 ) .
