Recently, a news story about ‘a southern tourist opening a window for a day and freezing the underfloor heating system in Northeast China’ has sparked widespread discussion. The incident occurred at a homestay in a northeastern city, where a tourist from southern China, unaccustomed to the intense indoor heat, left the window open for an extended period. This caused a sharp drop in indoor temperature. In Northeast China, central heating systems are standard, and if the water circulating through underfloor pipes is exposed to prolonged cold, it can freeze, expand, and crack the pipes or damage equipment. The landlord reported repair costs amounting to several thousand yuan and warned visitors against opening windows during winter.This case highlights the stark differences between northern and southern China in climate, lifestyle, and heating practices. Southern regions experience damp, chilly winters but lack centralized heating, so residents typically rely on air conditioners or electric heaters and are less adapted to constant warmth. In contrast, northeastern winters are long and extremely cold, with indoor temperatures maintained above 20°C via underfloor heating, and windows are usually kept shut for insulation. Experts advise southern travelers visiting the north in winter to learn basic heating etiquette beforehand—avoid opening windows out of discomfort with the heat, as this not only reduces comfort but may also lead to costly damage. Homestay platforms are also encouraged to provide clearer guidance to guests to prevent such incidents.
近日，一则‘南方游客开窗一天把东北地暖冻坏了’的新闻引发热议。事件发生在东北某城市的一处民宿，一位来自南方的游客因不习惯室内高温，在入住期间将窗户长时间敞开，导致室内温度骤降。由于东北地区普遍采用集中供暖系统，地暖管道内循环热水一旦遭遇持续低温，可能结冰膨胀，造成管道破裂或设备损坏。房东发现后表示，维修费用高达数千元，并提醒游客在北方冬季切勿随意开窗。这一事件反映出南北方在气候、生活习惯和供暖方式上的显著差异。南方冬季湿冷但无集中供暖，居民常靠空调或电暖器取暖，对恒温环境适应较弱；而东北冬季严寒漫长，室内依靠地暖维持20℃以上，门窗通常紧闭以保温。专家建议，南方游客赴北方过冬时，应提前了解当地供暖常识，避免因‘怕热’而开窗，既影响自身舒适度，也可能造成财产损失。同时，民宿平台也可加强入住提示，减少类似误会。
