Winter Family Trip to Changbai Mountain｜Bringing the Winter from a Fairy Tale Book to Life

Who would have thought! Taking the kids to Changbai Mountain for winter, and they praised me all year round saying, "Mom knows how to pick the best places"✨ From the Forest Magic Hotel to frolicking in the snow, every spot looks like it’s straight out of a fairy tale. Here’s a super comprehensive family travel guide—bookmark it now! 🏰 Stay at the Forest Magic Theme Hotel As soon as we got off the car, the snow mushrooms and warm yellow lights at the hotel entrance caught our eyes! The lobby has glowing tree vines, little squirrel plush toys hidden by the bedside, and even the bathrobes feature fluffy reindeer patterns🦌. In the morning, opening the curtains reveals a misty sea of trees. 🎿 Wanda Ski Resort Family Skiing First Experience Family-friendliness maxed out! We hired a private coach for the kids, and in just 10 minutes, they dared to ski down small slopes on their own~ The slopes are super wide and have a kids’ area. Even a rookie mom like me could slowly cruise on the beginner trails. The rental gear was very new, and the small-sized skis and ski suits looked great—photos didn’t need any editing at all! ⛄️ Snow Play Paradise Fun Time This is truly a kid’s happy heaven! Sliding down the snow tube hill a hundred times without getting bored, my kid and I teamed up to have snowball fights with other families, laughter almost shaking the snow-covered ground~ There’s also a snow train and an ice sculpture maze. We didn’t even need to use our own snow toys because the park’s equipment kept the kids busy all afternoon. By the end, their cheeks were rosy from the cold, still shouting, “Let’s play a little more!” 🥾 Snowfield Hiking into a White Wonderland We chose an ultra-easy family hiking route, and the guide took us to find reindeer footprints👣. The snow underfoot crunched “crunch crunch,” and sunlight filtered through the branches, scattering like tiny diamonds on the snow. 🚣 Rime Drift—So Beautiful It Leaves You Speechless Make sure to go early! Sitting on a slow inflatable raft, the rime on both banks looks like white coral, sparkling when the sun comes out✨. The water is not cold and very calm. The kids leaned over the boat edge watching little fish, occasionally catching snowflakes with their hands. No need to find the perfect angle for photos—every shot is a stunning atmospheric masterpiece, sure to get tons of likes on social media. 🐶 Soft and Cute Dogs for Playtime—So Healing We met super well-behaved sled dogs and corgis! The dogs wore little shoes and gently nudged the kids’ palms for pets. You can walk the dogs in the snow, and when they run, snow sprays everywhere, with the kids chasing and laughing behind. 🎣 Experience the Joy of Traditional Winter Fishing We saw fishermen chisel through thick ice to set nets, and when a big group of fish jumped out of the water, the kids jumped up excitedly! We also tried small net fishing. Although we only caught a few small fish, the kids felt a huge sense of accomplishment putting the fish into the bucket themselves. That night, these fresh fish became a delicious meal—so meaningful. 🍲 Taste of Changbai Mountain Northeastern cuisine is really hearty and delicious! The iron pot stewed goose served with a ring of corn cakes, which soak up the broth and are super flavorful; frozen pears become sweet and soft after soaking, and the kids can eat two at a time; plus freshly ground soy milk and sticky fried dough twists—everything is a hit. Tips: Remember to dress kids in waterproof snow boots and fleece-lined pants, and bring plenty of warmers to stick inside the shoes. Most activities can be booked online in advance, saving lots of waiting time~ This winter, bring your kids to Changbai Mountain for an ice and snow rendezvous—it will truly become your most precious memory❤️
