There were many tourists, but the people were lovely and kind. There was a wide variety of food, especially delicious and inexpensive fresh fruit. ☃️❄️ There are many fun activities to enjoy, depending on your preference.

Snow Town, or Xuexiang (雪乡), is a famous snow village near Harbin, a dream destination for winter lovers. Small wooden houses are covered in thick, soft snow, looking like scenes from a fairytale. Especially from late December to February, temperatures can drop as low as -20°C, but the atmosphere is worth every penny. Bring good quality sandbags to help hold your hands. 🚗 How to get to Snow Town We started from Harbin at 8:30 AM and took a bus to Snow Town, which took about 5-6 hours. The return bus was at 6:00 PM. We recommend traveling in the morning to arrive at the village before dark, giving you more time to explore and take photos. If you don't want to be too tired, you can stay overnight, but we stayed at another place, Snow Valley. ✅ Things to know The bus drops you off at the village entrance. Buy your tickets and go through the scanner to enter. Then, take a village minibus for about 5 minutes to get inside. If you have luggage, take it off the Harbin bus and drag your suitcase to the village minibus. To drop off luggage inside the village (approximately 10-30 yuan), we walked to the end of the village and picked up our bags there. There will be people waiting to collect your luggage at the time you specify for your bus back. For the return trip, you need to take a minibus from the end of the village to the bus stop, which takes about 5 minutes (many first-timers get confused here). ****However, some services will collect your luggage even after you get off the bus before you buy your ticket. Be sure to ask for clarification, or ideally, leave your luggage at your hotel in Harbin. During winter, it gets dark very early; the sun sets around 4 pm. Bus tickets can be purchased through Trip or through your booked hotel/accommodation. Most offer this service. Just make sure to specify the correct travel date and time. ❄️Atmosphere & Highlights Evening is the most beautiful time. The orange lights from the wooden houses contrast beautifully with the pristine white snow. Almost every corner is photogenic. It gets cold at night. 💰Estimated expenses (per person) Round-trip bus fare: 180 yuan Snow Town entrance fee: 155 yuan (29/12/2025) Food/snacks: 60 yuan Snow Town isn't just a place for photos, it's a truly authentic winter experience. If you have time in Harbin, I recommend spending a night there. You're sure to be impressed. #travelchina #harbin #snowtown #harbin #china

If you've been to China Snow Town (Xuexiang / 雪乡), you'll know that this place is not just a "beautiful snow village." Choosing the right accommodation here significantly impacts your experience. For this trip, we chose to stay at Zhoudajie Minsu (周大姐民宿). The main reason? Location. The accommodation is situated right on the main road of the village, which means: • No need to walk into alleys • No guessing directions • No trudging through deep snow • No worries about dragging large suitcases Upon arrival, we purchased a ticket to Snow Town for 120 yuan and took a bus into the village. From the drop-off point, we walked straight along the main road. The house is on the left-hand side, just before the village's stone sign. There was no one to pick us up, so we had to drag our luggage ourselves. However, on the way back, a staff member helped us carry our bags to the bus. We stayed in a Family Room, which accommodates three adults (a bit cramped). The room size is average, but it was newer than expected. It comes equipped with a heater, water heater, and drinking water. The room temperature is quite warm for winter, so we recommend wearing light clothes for sleeping and slightly opening the window. What we loved most was the atmosphere around the accommodation. In the evening, around 6:30–7:00 PM, a parade passes right in front of the house. If you walk a bit further, you'll reach the village's fireworks viewing spot. The accommodation offers free Dongbei-style costumes and snow sleds for guests to borrow, perfect for those who want to take photos without renting additional items. Breakfast is served free from 7:00–9:00 AM. The taste is average but acceptable. Another highlight worth mentioning is the restaurant at the front of the accommodation. The food is delicious, suits Thai tastes, and is reasonably priced. It's a place we felt was a "right choice" without trial and error. As for activities in Snow Town, you can ask the accommodation to arrange them (with discounts) or explore and choose activities yourself within the village. There are many venues and price ranges—we opted to explore on our own.

Route: Harbin > Yabuli West > Ten Mile Gallery > China Snow Town This 2-day guide is for travelers who want to experience the "Winter Wonderland" scenery without spending time on the ski slopes. It turns the travel day into a sightseeing road trip through the most beautiful snowy forests in China. 🗓️ Day 1: The Ice & Snow Highway Step 1: High-Speed Train to the Mountains Start the trip by taking a high-speed train from Harbin Station (or Harbin West) to Yabuli West Station. • Why: It’s fast, comfortable, and cuts out hours of bus travel. Step 2: The Scenic Drive (Yaxue Highway) From Yabuli West, hire a private driver or charter car for the journey to Snow Town. This is the best part of the trip! The road connecting Yabuli and Snow Town is famous for its "rime ice" (frozen white frost) on the trees. Step 3: Stop at Ten Mile Gallery (Shili Hualang) About halfway to Snow Town, make a dedicated stop here. • The Experience: This is often more magical than Snow Town itself because it is wilder. Walk the wooden boardwalks through the forest. • Photo Op: The snow here is thick, pristine, and hangs heavy on the pine trees (creating "Snow Corals"). Because you aren't skiing in Yabuli, you have plenty of time to enjoy this walk. • Optional: You can try a snowmobile ride here if you want to reach higher viewpoints. Step 4: Evening in China Snow Town (Xuexiang) Arrive at the Snow Town entrance, buy your ticket, and take the shuttle bus into the village. • Must-Do: Walk down Xueyun Street at dusk. This is when the famous red lanterns light up against the white snow. • Dream Home: Visit the "Meng Huan Jia Yuan" viewing area to see the iconic "Snow Mushrooms" (rounded snow piles on roofs). • Nightlife: Watch the local Bonfire Party in the town square or enjoy an "Iron Pot Stew" dinner. 🗓️ Day 2: Morning Glow & Return Step 1: Sunrise Views Wake up early to catch the village waking up. • Easier Option: Walk the "Bangchui Mountain" boardwalk. It overlooks the village, offering a panoramic view of smoke rising from chimneys in the golden morning light. Step 2: Splash Water to Ice Before leaving, take advantage of the freezing morning temperatures to try the viral "Splash Water to Ice" photo. Step 3: The Return to Harbin After a dumpling lunch and a stroll through the village shops, head back to the city. • Comfortable Route: Private car back to Yabuli West Station! 💡 Tips for this Route • Booking the Car: Since you aren't skiing, you don't need to stay overnight in Yabuli. Arrange for a driver to pick you up at Yabuli West Station and drive you to Snow Town with a stop at the Gallery. • Dress Warm: Ten Mile Gallery and Snow Town are significantly colder than Harbin city. Wear heated vests, windproof pants, and crampons (spikes) for your boots, as the boardwalks can be slippery. • Batteries: Your phone battery will drain rapidly in the cold. Keep it attached to a power bank and stick a warm heat patch on the back of your phone case.

Ready to dive into a white winter fairy tale? Harbin's drifting snow, Snow Town's mushroom houses, Changbai Mountain's rime ice, and Yanji's Korean ethnic charm are waiting for an unforgettable encounter of a lifetime! 👜 Essential Travel Checklist ✅ Core Gear: Prepare a thick down jacket, waterproof snow boots, and the "warmth trio" of a thermal hat and gloves. Outdoor temperatures in winter can drop to minus 20 to 30 degrees Celsius, with big temperature differences between indoors and outdoors, so windproof and frost protection are key. ✅ Warmth Must-Have: Heat packs are lifesavers—they can be stuck on your body and also keep your phone warm to prevent rapid battery drain in the cold. ✅ Skincare and Protection: Northern winters are very dry, so bring plenty of moisturizing skincare products, face masks, and lip balm. The sunlight reflecting off the snow is intense, so don’t forget sunglasses to prevent snow blindness. 🚥 Transportation Tips ✈️ Round-trip Travel: The most convenient way is to fly into Harbin first. After your trip, you can depart from Yanji or return from Harbin. 🚘 Intercity Car Rental: Distances between Northeast China’s attractions are long, and winter roads are slippery. Renting a car is a safe and worry-free choice. Depending on the vehicle, prices for a 5-seat sedan or SUV start around 500-800 RMB per day, with business vans costing more. It’s recommended to book through official channels and confirm the vehicle is equipped with snow tires and other safety gear. 📅 Itinerary Overview 👉 Day 1: Central Street → Saint Sophia Cathedral → Ice and Snow World → Stay in Harbin 👉 Day 2: Harbin → Yabuli Ski Resort → Horse-drawn sled → Stay in Yabuli 👉 Day 3: Yaxue Highway → Datudingzi Mountain → Ice and Snow Gallery → Stay in Snow Town 👉 Day 4: Snow Town → Xueyun Street → Jingpo Lake Winter Fishing → Stay in Erdaobaihe 👉 Day 5: Changbai Mountain Tianchi Lake → Green Pool → Hot Springs → Stay in Erdaobaihe 👉 Day 6: Demon Realm Rafting → Yanji Folk Culture Park → Popular Bullet Screen Wall → Stay in Yanji 👉 Day 7: Yanji → Water Market → Return from Yanji/Harbin/Changchun 🏨 Accommodation Recommendations 🏡 Harbin: It’s best to stay near Central Street for easy access to transportation, shopping, and dining. 🏡 Snow Town: Be sure to experience the unique warm kang-style homestays; sleeping surrounded by snow is a very special feeling.
