Winter vacation characteristics of primary and secondary schools in Northeast China

Longer time: Because Northeast China is a cold high-latitude area with low temperature, long winter and much snowfall, the local winter vacation time is relatively long, usually around 4-5 weeks, and some schools can even take a winter vacation of about two months. In contrast, winter holidays in other areas are often shorter, usually within 2-3 weeks. In addition to the northeast, some alpine mountainous areas and rural areas may have longer winter holidays, because these areas also have similar natural environment and climate conditions as the northeast.

There are ice and snow activities: because it is located in the cold high latitude area, the winter vacation temperature in Northeast China is very low, and there is often heavy snow in winter, which also affects students' winter vacation activities. There are usually ice and snow sports during the winter vacation, such as skiing, ice entertainment and so on.
