Promise me you'll visit Jingpo Lake in winter at least once!
As a travel enthusiast, I can't allow anyone to have never been to Jingpo Lake in winter. It's simply a dreamy ice and snow wonderland! Today, I'm sharing my travel guide with you.
🧣Dress code: Be sure to wear a thick down jacket, warm pants, snow boots, and a hat, scarf, and gloves. You need to be fully armed to withstand the cold. You can take off your gloves when taking photos, but don't do it for too long, or your hands will freeze!
🗺Travel route: Start from the entrance of the scenic area, first visit the Diaoshuilou Waterfall, then walk along the lakeside boardwalk to enjoy the lake view, walk to the Jingpo Lake Grand Canyon, and finally visit the Shaman Village to experience the local culture.
🎯Check-in spots:
1. Diaoshuilou Waterfall: The waterfall freezes into an ice waterfall in winter, which is crystal clear and spectacular under the sunlight. Remember to take photos in front of the waterfall, it's very photogenic!
2. Hundred-mile-long lake ice surface: The vast ice surface is like a mirror, and you can also play ice biking, ice skating, and other activities on it, which are very fun.
3. Jingpo Lake Grand Canyon: The canyon is full of strange rocks, which are covered with ice and snow, giving it a unique flavor. Walking along the boardwalk, you feel like you're in an ice and snow fairy tale world.
4. Shaman Village: Experience traditional Northeast folk culture. There are unique buildings and folk performances here, allowing you to learn more about the local customs.
5. Ice bubble wonder: In certain areas, you can see the magical ice bubble landscape, which is a marvel of nature.
🎡Activities:
1. Ride a horse-drawn sled, gallop on the snow, and experience the Northeast style.
2. Play on the ice slide and experience the thrill of sliding.
3. Participate in winter fishing activities (if you catch the right time), feel the joy of harvest, and taste fresh lake fish.
🍱Recommended food:
1. Jingpo Lake fish feast: The fish are freshly caught from the lake, with tender and delicious meat. Dishes like steamed white fish and braised crucian carp are all very tasty.
2. Sticky bean buns: Sweet and soft, steaming hot, one bite is super satisfying. It's a specialty staple food in Northeast China.
3. Pig-killing dish: Blood sausage, sauerkraut, and pork belly stewed together, with a rich flavor, warming you up.
4. Frozen pears and frozen persimmons: You must try the frozen goods in Northeast China. After thawing, frozen pears are eaten by sucking, with a sweet and sour taste.
🛏Accommodation recommendation:
• Jingpo Lake Hotel: Perfect location, right by the lake, with beautiful views right outside the door. The hotel is well-equipped, with spacious and comfortable rooms and attentive service. The highlight is the hot spring, where you can soak in the hot spring in the ice and snow, which is very relaxing and can wash away the fatigue of the day.
❗Notes:
1. The temperature in the scenic area is low, so electronic devices need to be kept warm, or they may run out of power and shut down. You can use hand warmers.
2. Follow the staff's instructions and pay attention to safety when playing ice and snow activities.
3. Check the weather forecast in advance and choose a sunny day to travel, as the scenery will be more beautiful.
