  1.  @cesarefildani5023  thats right! Chengdu's record low temp is -5.9C in 1975, Chongqing's at -2.5 in 1943 using official records in China The Qinling and Daba Mountains, the latter reaches as high as 3.7km at Mt Taibai in Shaanxi play an essential role in shielding the basin from the Siberian airmasses. Also, the tendency for cold airmasses to swing to the east as it heads south in the winter means that the North China Plain and the lower and middle Yangtze are easier targets to get them below 0C like in Wuhan, Shanghai, Nanjing cities. This means that for the most part, the sichuan basin also benefits from its more westerly position too. Here's the same youtube channel's video but this time on why east coasts are colder than west https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3D9OBWlWRxk
