Reviews from Real Guests:

Anonymous User: Spent four pleasant days in Beidahu clumed. Although the hotel hardware here is not very good, it is really the best choice for traveling with children. Children have a lot of fun in the mini club, and adults have a lot of activities. Coincidentally, the village chief, the hamburger brother from the mini club, and the coach of the trapeze... We met many staff members at clubmed in Guilin last year, and it felt very cordial to meet again. Thank you very much for taking care of Teresa, the assistant manager at the front desk, and gave us a small gift before leaving. There are also sister Momoko from the mini club and all the other brothers and sisters who take care of the children. Will definitely come again next winter

YAN: I came here temporarily from Songhua Lake to change the itinerary. The hotel service is very good. The front desk staff Angel is also very warm and attentive. The food and beverages have new tricks every day, and the taste is also good. The room is good except for the hot water on and off, and the heating is too warm. The heating in the northeast is really well-deserved. If you bring a child, it is more suitable for 4 years old and above. My child is less than 4 years old. The daily OG skiing course cannot attend our adults. Because the child cannot attend the class, it is inconvenient for the adults to go there, so I have to ask for a private tutor. Great deal. But overall it was fun

Reviews from Real Guests:

Trip.com User: This is not the best ski resort in China for nothing! An absolute wonderful experience! The slopes are amazing and there is one for each level, from the beginner to the more advanced. It is not your cheapest, but you definitely get what you pay for. It is 320rmb for weekdays and 430rmb for weekends. There is a variety of other things also to keep you busy with, hot springs, ice tubes and many more. The only thing that could improve is a larger variety of western food. There is a lot of Chinese food restaurants which are all very tasty, but only a KFC for the more western restaurants. Once again, this is an amazing resort and if granted another chance I will definitely visit again!

The iron pot has eaten several meals, it is delicious, the breakfast is also very rich, the boss is very enthusiastic, accompany us to see the sunrise and sunset, accompany us to find the smog, help us take pictures of ice, Just like returning home, or cooking is particularly delicious home, even if I didn't see the beautiful smog because of the weather, I feel that it is especially worth going to this time. If I go to smog island, I must live in this house. I still want to eat the food of my brother in the future. I will miss it.

Muhammad Shahid Anwar: Xie Inn The best stay ever It’s an unforgettable stay of my life at any place and I would say that I thoroughly enjoyed each moment of it. Thats why this the longest review I have ever written. I originally planned the trip to Wusong Island just for one day but the love and care of uncle Xie’s family made me change my mind. Xie Inn reminds me of going to my grandma’s home where I plan to go for day but ended up staying for weeks and feel sad when I would leave. Thanks Uncle Xie, grandma, Xie’s handsome son and his wife, Xie’s wife and my Xie’s wife’s nephew for making this trip so memorable. Hope to see you next time. The reasons I recommend this place 1) the warmest and most comfortable place to stay in Dongbei with great internal heating 2) The warmth and hospitality of Uncle Xie’s family 3)Uncle Xie is very knowledgeable and knows every little details about Rimes. He takes his guests to the best side of island away from other tourists. Uncle xie is the best photographer. 4) the food is yummy and the breakfast is beautiful 5) Uncle Xie’s son is very handsome. I told him that I will write this in review and I am writing it 😂 The word limit would not allow me to write more than that .
