[2025 Dunhua Attraction] Travel Guide for Xuexiang Gouxiongling (Updated Feb)

Accommodation in Xuexiang 1⃣️ is hard to decide! 2⃣️The price is ridiculously high🉐️ So if you don’t consider living in Xuexiang, our route is pretty good. I booked two nights of accommodation in Snow Valley in advance (the kang I slept on was so warm😁) Cheap and easy to live in! (💰80/night 🉑️ sleeps 3 people) Breakfast included🥣 Day ☝️Depart from Yabuli to Xuexiang We booked the shuttle bus from the beginning🚌 So I didn’t consider chartering a car🚗 I learned that the Zui for chartering a car is as low as around 350 💰 Each driver's quotation is a little different, so bargain as appropriate~ Shuttle bus 🚌 is on V✉️ in advance‼ ️Definitely! 💰85/person Xuexiang🎫Ticket💰115/person The driver of the shuttle bus is very nice. Moreover, the small car we took was quite comfortable with more than a dozen seats. The driver would go directly to the big stone monument in the snow town. It saves you having to buy a sightseeing bus💰 Remember 🉐️ to confirm with the B&B owner in Snow Valley in advance the location of the shuttle bus 🚌 from Xuexiang to Snow Valley! 🤫 Chartering a car is super expensive! Because the road conditions are not good, just consider the shuttle bus🚌! 💰100/person. Eight o'clock in the evening🕗 is the latest bus, which is enough to enjoy the snow town in depth! It would be good to arrive at Xuexiang around two o'clock that day, because you can see the scenery during the day and at night! The highlight of Xuexiang is at night 🌃 Turn on the lights when it gets dark around 4pm! To be honest, in the snow town, in addition to the dreamy mushroom house, there is also an elk park. There's really nothing left, so there's really no need to stay too much. Here 🉑️ to experience 🐶 sledge plow The price of the food inside is the same as that of the scenic spot. It will definitely not be cheap. We ate at a wok stew restaurant and the taste was okay. The per capita price is about 💰80, which is acceptable. In the evening, according to your own train schedule, take the guided bus to the place where you take the bus in advance and arrive at Snow Valley in the evening! Day ✌️The Snow Valley passes through Leymus Leymus Mountain. It only takes about one day to hike I booked a horse-drawn carriage at 8 o'clock today with the B&B owner in advance for 💰100/person. The distance from the B&B to the Snow Valley Trailhead is about 🈶️5 kilometers. Then hike the entire distance! It took us one day to return from the original route to Shangyuecao Mountain in Snow Valley🔙 ‼ ️Prepare in advance: essential items‼ ️ Bring a thermos cup if you have one! Bring snack supplies! Crampons! 💰10/pair Skateboard (butt pier)💰10/piece Snow cover (one that can reach the calf, we borrowed it from the B&B owner) Trekking poles (you can prepare them in advance, but you don’t necessarily need them) Prepare other thermal supplies according to your own situation, because hiking🧗 will definitely be hot. It is too easy to catch a cold when it is cold and hot😷 Snow Valley🎫Ticket💰40/person The end of the carriage🈶️The place where you can ride a sleigh and motorcycle. Half journey💰150, full journey💰300. If you are not in a hurry, there is no need to take it. It takes about two or three hours to get off the carriage and climb up Leymus Mountain on foot. Reaching the top of the mountain ⛰️Rime Ridge is really beautiful. The resting place on the top of the mountain 🏔️🈶️instant noodles 💰15/bucket can be soaked. But if you bring your own instant noodles, I won’t give you blisters! So don’t bring your own instant noodles. If you don’t want instant noodles, just bring something else to eat! After resting for a while, prepare to return the same way 🔙 Use your butt to slide down, so pay attention to safety! Because the snow next to it is very deep! The return trip took 3.4 hours 😂😂 because I was so tired! It was around four o'clock when we arrived at the B&B. We didn’t go to the restaurants in Xuegu because each store was more expensive than the other. Xuegu was the most expensive place I stayed in Heilongjiang for more than ten days! We ate directly at the B&B owner’s house! 💰50 per person. Eat comfortably! Have a comfortable sleep at night and set off back to Harbin the next day~ Write whatever comes to mind~ If you have any questions, please feel free to add or consult~

We went to the pinnacle of the mountain for about 60 minutes. We passed through two settlements and a snow-covered pine forest while following the snow track. The broad vistas full of snow, accompanied by beautiful sky and breathtaking surroundings, greeted us in the mountainous landscape! Yangcao Mountain, at an elevation of 4,429 feet (1,350 meters), is located to the northwest of the settlement. We had to ride in a snowmobile driven by a professional driver on the last slope. I'd like to take command, but I'd rather leave it to the professionals! It was a 15-minute rocky ride through a tiny snow route. It was a wonderful adventure. The plants on the summit were sparse when we arrived. Snow had accumulated on the trees. The vision is clear since there were no obstacles in the way. The top gave a fantastic observation point to see the vast magnificent snowscape of the hills, valleys, and rimes, with no obstructions in the way. According to the guide, Yangcao Mountain is the greatest site in China Snow Town to observe the sunrise and sunset due of its elevation and vast perspective. I should have just stayed in Snow Town longer. #roadtrip#givethanks#naturalwonders#hikingtrails#urbanexplorer
