Yellowknife Travel Guide

😮1.Before going, you can check the aurora forecast in advance. 🌲 It’s quite accurate to check on the app three days prior.🦋 👀Besides the aurora index, cloud cover is also important—too many clouds make it hard to see the auroras. 👣 😪However, the probability of seeing them if you stay in Yellowknife for 3 days is 98% I was lucky enough to see them every day. 😏 👉👈After all, the auroras appear over 250 days a year here 🐵 👀2. The weather in Yellowknife is extremely cold. It can drop to -40°C around January. 🍒 🎊When I went in March, the temperature was around -20°C. There’s a Canada🇨🇦 Goose store locally with relatively low prices, but when I checked, the styles were all outdated. 💕 🤲The entire store is in a general store, so it’s hard to buy nice ones. 🍧 If you want a down jacket, it’s better to go to the Arc’teryx factory store in Vancouver—much easier to find good ones.🍚 🍃3. Yellowknife is a very small town with only one airport. It’s just a 10-minute drive from the airport to the city center, so there are very few good restaurants.🐹 🐠Never go to the Chinese restaurant "Red Apple" recommended online—can you imagine sweet-flavored Mapo Tofu? 🍚⚔️ The best restaurant in town is definitely Bullock’s It was so delicious that I ate there two days in a row it’s right across from the Canada Goose store! I still think about it 😻😻 💓4. The entire aurora-chasing tour runs from after 9 PM to 2 AM every night.👆 🍑You’ll ride to the suburbs, stop to take photos wherever the auroras appear as they change, and then drive to the next spot.☘️ 🐸5. Pink and purple hues mean the auroras are very strong.❣️ 💗On the strongest day, I even saw dancing auroras. When the auroras are intense, you don’t need to adjust any extra camera or phone settings—you can capture them directly with the original camera 🤛 💋On weaker days, for iPhones, you can use If the camera only allows up to 10 seconds, it’s because the location is too bright; just move your phone to a darker spot to get 10–30 seconds⛄ 🎄6. Once you see the auroras, you can go to the city center to get an aurora-watching certificate, which is a local official proof . 🍔 🌼Besides chasing auroras, you can also try dog sledding snowmobiling quite fun, they provide helmets so it’s not too cold🌨️ and ice fishing.🐟 #Yellowknife #YellowknifeAurora
