itemprop=\"text\" ><p>Sector 2 covers the countries of China and Russia \u2014 and everything south. That makes it the largest geographical areas that Santa delivers to. The area is rich in culture and diversity and both Santa and Christmas are celebrated in different ways. It is a land of many contrasts \u2014 huge cities populate coastal areas while remote villages are tiny and spread out in many places; there are many believers but also many non-believers. And some countries welcome Santa while others do not. The work of delivering to this vast area can at times move quickly and surprise those waiting in Sector 3.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Issues that Santa runs into in this sector:<\/strong>\u00a0Rogue governments in places like North Korea and Iran sometimes cause trouble for Santa. There are good people there and Santa wants to deliver to them so getting good information is vital in the hours leading up to Christmas for them. There is also a huge variety of weather factors that make delivery in this part of the world challenging at time.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Information the North Pole Tracking Center needs most from this area:<\/strong>\u00a0Good eyes on the ground, especially in South Korea near the border with North Korea. Japan is a popular location for Santa and the need for trackers in metro areas is very important. Weather in the Philippines is sometimes an issue.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How Christmas is celebrated:<\/strong>\u00a0Christmas is more subdued in Asian cultures but they do celebrate. Sometimes fireworks are used in places in China on Christmas Eve. Most people hang stockings and enjoy a variety of foods at Christmas.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><br \/>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-ce9pup-3c5d6b90c6d3a6ac51699e8b968c6b39\">\n@keyframes av_boxShadowEffect_av-ce9pup-3c5d6b90c6d3a6ac51699e8b968c6b39 {\n0%   { box-shadow:  0 0 0 0 #b02b2c; opacity: 1; }\n100% { box-shadow:  0 0 19px 0 #b02b2c; opacity: 1; }\n}\n.avia-image-container.av-ce9pup-3c5d6b90c6d3a6ac51699e8b968c6b39 img.avia_image{\nbox-shadow: 0 0 19px 0 #b02b2c;\n}\n.avia-image-container.av-ce9pup-3c5d6b90c6d3a6ac51699e8b968c6b39 .av-image-caption-overlay-center{\ncolor:#ffffff;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='avia-image-container av-ce9pup-3c5d6b90c6d3a6ac51699e8b968c6b39 av-styling- avia-align-center  avia-builder-el-17  el_after_av_textblock  el_before_av_iconlist  av-img-box-shadow av-box-shadow-not-animated'   itemprop=\"image\" itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\" ><div class=\"avia-image-container-inner\"><div class=\"avia-image-overlay-wrap\"><img decoding=\"async\" fetchpriority=\"high\" class='wp-image-2103 avia-img-lazy-loading-not-2103 avia_image shadow-not-animated' src=\"https:\/\/santatrackers-220a5.kxcdn.com\/x\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/importanthings-banner.png\" alt='Important Things for Santa Trackers' title='Important Things for Santa Trackers'  height=\"471\" width=\"1900\"  itemprop=\"thumbnailUrl\" srcset=\"https:\/\/santatrackers-220a5.kxcdn.com\/x\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/importanthings-banner.png 1900w, https:\/\/santatrackers-220a5.kxcdn.com\/x\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/importanthings-banner-300x74.png 300w, https:\/\/santatrackers-220a5.kxcdn.com\/x\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/importanthings-banner-1030x255.png 1030w, https:\/\/santatrackers-220a5.kxcdn.com\/x\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/importanthings-banner-768x190.png 768w, https:\/\/santatrackers-220a5.kxcdn.com\/x\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/importanthings-banner-1536x381.png 1536w, https:\/\/santatrackers-220a5.kxcdn.com\/x\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/importanthings-banner-1500x372.png 1500w, https:\/\/santatrackers-220a5.kxcdn.com\/x\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/importanthings-banner-705x175.png 705w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1900px) 100vw, 1900px\" \/><\/div><\/div><\/div><br \/>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-121fht-fb6f6a67334ba1946595493b57ac9602\">\n#top .avia-icon-list-container.av-121fht-fb6f6a67334ba1946595493b57ac9602 .iconlist_icon{\ncolor:#ffffff;\nbackground-color:#841e1e;\nborder-style:double;\nborder-width:2px 2px 2px 2px;\nborder-color:#dd3535;\nbox-shadow:none;\n}\n#top .avia-icon-list-container.av-121fht-fb6f6a67334ba1946595493b57ac9602 .iconlist_icon svg:first-child{\nstroke:#ffffff;\nfill:#ffffff;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='avia-icon-list-container av-121fht-fb6f6a67334ba1946595493b57ac9602  avia-builder-el-18  el_after_av_image  el_before_av_image '><ul class='avia-icon-list avia_animate_when_almost_visible avia-icon-list-left av-iconlist-big av-121fht-fb6f6a67334ba1946595493b57ac9602 avia-iconlist-animate'>\n<li><div class='iconlist_icon av-8pkett-3d7d83cede2e0d45856d06a7a12832d5 avia-font-svg_entypo-fontello avia-svg-icon avia-font-svg_entypo-fontello'><span class='av-icon-char' data-av_svg_icon='check' data-av_iconset='svg_entypo-fontello'><svg version=\"1.1\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"21\" height=\"32\" viewBox=\"0 0 21 32\" preserveAspectRatio=\"xMidYMid meet\" aria-labelledby='av-svg-title-6' aria-describedby='av-svg-desc-6' role=\"graphics-symbol\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n<title id='av-svg-title-6'>Check<\/title>\n<desc id='av-svg-desc-6'>Check<\/desc>\n<path d=\"M7.968 27.2q-1.088 0-1.792-0.896l-5.76-7.552q-0.512-0.768-0.384-1.664t0.832-1.472 1.632-0.448 1.504 0.896l3.776 4.928 9.472-15.168q0.512-0.768 1.376-0.96t1.696 0.256q0.768 0.512 0.96 1.376t-0.256 1.696l-11.2 17.92q-0.64 1.024-1.792 1.024z\"><\/path>\n<\/svg><\/span><\/div><article class=\"article-icon-entry \"  itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class=\"iconlist_content_wrap\"><header class=\"entry-content-header\" aria-label=\"Icon: Landing Zones\"><h4 class='av_iconlist_title iconlist_title  '  itemprop=\"headline\" >Landing Zones<\/h4><\/header><div class='iconlist_content '  itemprop=\"text\" ><p>Sector 2 is the largest Sector on the map in terms of land mass.
