Amazing! Why didn’t anyone tell me this when I went to Harbin!

This winter, you have to visit a true ice and snow kingdom at least once! From Harbin’s romantic falling snow to the creamy mushroom houses of Snow Town From the magical rime of Changbai Mountain to the Sino-Korean border charm of Yanji Head north and capture the most dreamy winter scenery in your memory✨ 🧳 Travel essentials: ✔️ Warm three-piece set: thick down jacket + waterproof snow boots + Lei Feng hat (really needed at -20°C!) ✔️ Life-saving items: stick warmers all over your phone to prevent shutdown! Thermos for hot water anytime ✔️ Skincare must-haves: rich face cream + lip balm + hand cream (the northern dry cold is beyond imagination) ✔️ Photo gear: plush earmuffs + colorful scarf (super photogenic in the snow!) 🚗 Transportation guide: ✈️ Major transport: • Recommended to fly into Harbin Taiping Airport, with many domestic routes • Return flights available directly from Yanji Chaoyangchuan Airport 🚐 Car rental recommendation: • Strongly suggest renting a car for Snow Town/Changbai Mountain sections! Driving on icy roads is dangerous • Book through a reputable travel agency; drivers know the snowy routes well 📝 Itinerary overview 👉D1: Gather in Harbin → Central Street → Saint Sophia Cathedral → Stay in Harbin 👉D2: Harbin → Yabuli Ski Resort → Horse-drawn sled → Stay in Yabuli 👉D3: Yaxue Highway → Datudingzi Mountain → Ice and Snow Gallery → Stay in Snow Town 👉D4: Snow Town → Xueyun Street → Jingpo Lake winter fishing → Stay in Erdaobaihe 👉D5: Changbai Mountain Tianchi (Heaven Lake) → Green Pool → Hot Springs → Stay in Erdaobaihe 👉D6: Magic World rafting → Yanji Folk Park → Popular bullet screen wall → Stay in Yanji 👉D7: Yanji → Water Market → Return from Yanji/Harbin/Changchun 🏡 Accommodation tips: • Harbin: Stay near Central Street, very convenient to walk back to the hotel after viewing the ice lanterns at night • Snow Town: Experience a heated kang bed guesthouse! Sleep warm on the kang and listen to the snow falling • Changbai Mountain: Wanda Resort ski hotel / hot spring hotel in Erdaobaihe town • Yanji: Recommended hotels near the university area, close to the popular wall and many food options 🍜 Food highlights: 🔥 Harbin: • Lao Chu Jia Guo Bao Rou (sweet, sour, crispy perfection) • Madie’er popsicles (the joy of eating popsicles in subzero weather!) 🔥 Snow Town: • Farmer’s iron pot stew (gather around the stove to eat steaming stewed goose) • Frozen persimmons (scoop with a spoon like natural ice cream) 🔥 Changbai Mountain: • Hot spring boiled eggs (soft-boiled eggs cooked in volcanic hot springs) • Korean spicy kimchi (perfect with hot porridge) 🔥 Yanji: • Water Market morning market (rice cake + rice sausage + Mingyue soup rice) • Jeonju bibimbap (Korean meal worth crying happy tears for, about 30 RMB per person) ⚠️ Notes: ❶ Stick warmers on your phone! iPhones shut down automatically after 5 minutes outdoors ❷ Book Snow Town accommodation one month in advance! Heated kang rooms are in high demand during peak season ❸ Check the weather and announcements in advance to see if Changbai Mountain Tianchi is open This winter With the most important person Go on a white date together ❤️
