Georgia is a must-visit winter destination! Here are some things to know.

"Are you here to attack xxx!!!!!!" "Where are the attractions with no people!!!!" Every time I go out during the holidays, I always ask myself these questions from the depths of my soul. As we all know, in China, seeking out niche travel destinations has become a popular trend! If you don't want to be crowded when traveling in China and want to have a super comfortable travel experience, you might want to consider this visa-free and niche country - Georgia. It's so beautiful that it leaves you speechless! If you ask me which season I like best in Georgia, the answer is definitely winter. If Georgia in spring and summer is "God's backyard," then Georgia in winter is like a snow kingdom favored by God. If you want to find a cost-effective foreign destination to play in the snow in winter, I sincerely recommend you come here! It's visa-free and less crowded, so you can just grab your passport and go! 🍂Winter travel time: December to January is the best time to visit Georgia's ski resorts, and the experience is amazing! There is a time difference between here and China, which is 4 hours behind China. 🔶About travel: ✈️Transportation: In China, only Urumqi has direct flights to Tbilisi. It is more cost-effective to transfer from Abu Dhabi, Turkey, etc. A taxi from the airport to the city center costs about 30 GEL. 🪪Visa: It is visa-free for 30 days, and the entry process is very smooth, taking only two minutes. 💰Exchange rate: It is about 1:2.7. It is recommended to exchange US dollars or euros in China, as RMB cannot be exchanged directly. Of course, you can also withdraw money directly from local ATMs. 📱Communication: It is more expensive to buy a card on Taobao, so it is recommended to buy one at the magti business hall at the airport. Although it is a little more expensive than in the city, it saves time and effort. A 7-day unlimited data card is usually enough! 🚖Taxi: You can use Yandex Go and Uber in Tbilisi. There are two subway lines here, and you need to buy a transportation card (2 GEL) to take the subway, which costs 1 GEL each time. You can check out the previous post for a guide on how to buy a bus card. Winter limited niche attraction: "Georgia Snow Country Train Tour" The Kukushka train from Borjomi to Bakuriani is one of the most beautiful train journeys in the Caucasus. This 37-kilometer narrow-gauge railway winds through the forested foothills of the Caucasus Mountains. Along the way, you will enjoy the most beautiful scenery in the Samtskhe-Javakheti region. The train has two carriages, and there is a small balcony at the end of the train. Here, you can enjoy the beautiful scenery, and it is recommended to bring some snacks with you. Bakuriani is now a famous ski resort in Georgia, with 23 ski routes, suitable for both professionals and beginners. It is the most lively place in winter, and locals love to vacation here.
