Finally, Dongguan recovers from the chilly and damp days with the minimum temperature drops to 5 degrees Celsius from December 15 to December 19 when a cold front from the north swept most parts of China.

　　Although these days are sunny and warm, it is undeniable that cold fronts would still come in from time to time before next March. Cold days usually mean that it is the perfect time to head to a hot pot restaurant. Sure, a bubbling bowl of broth, heated from underneath and slowly cooking up all kinds of tasty treats, is great year-round.

　　Hot pot really comes into its own when the wind starts to bite and the temperatures drop. The heating source under the pot warms up your torso, the steam rising up from the bowl warms your face and hot food sliding down into your belly warms you from the inside.
