You need to check the weather forecast more and prepare cold and sun-proof clothing and supplies. ② Alaska’s scenic spots are widely distributed. It is recommended to prepare a strategy and rent a car with your friends to drive by yourself. Don’t run around by yourself, as it is easy to get lost or encounter danger. ③Price in Alaska is relatively high, especially food and accommodation. You should make a budget in advance and don’t spend blindly. ④ There are many wild animals everywhere in the wilds of Alaska. Keep a safe distance, do not disturb or feed them, and do not pick up animal fur or bones at will. This may violate local laws. ⑤ Friends who like to watch the aurora should know that the aurora is a natural phenomenon that cannot be seen every day. You must have patience and luck. It is best to choose a night with a high aurora index, a small moon, and clear weather. Prepare your camera and tripod ⑥ Glaciers and snow-capped mountains are beautiful, but they are also accompanied by dangers. Do not climb or ski at will. Wear suitable shoes and clothes and bring necessary equipment. ⑦ Alaska’s indigenous culture is very rich. Respect their customs and beliefs. Do not take photos or touch their sacred objects at will, and do not buy illegal handicrafts. ⑧Alcohol restrictions in Alaska are very strict. Do not drink or get drunk in public places, and do not drink while driving, otherwise you will be severely punished. ⑨The opening hours of stores and restaurants in Alaska are relatively early and usually close around 9 pm. You must arrange your dining and shopping time in advance. .
