I'm coming to Snow Town in China, a casual shot is a winter wallpaper
Snow Town in China, Heilongjiang Shuangfeng Forest Farm, is located in the southwestern mountainous area of Hailin City. There are seven months of snow accumulation every year, among which December to March of the following year is a good time to visit Snow Town.
Lovely and charming Snow Town in China has a unique flavor, with traditional old fire kang huts, reindeer, horses, and dogs all being good at pulling carts. Due to its geographical location and special climate conditions, it has formed a unique 'snow mushroom' landscape. Under the night, the white snow reflects the colorful lights, like a dreamy fairy tale world. When the dreamy lights and pure white snowscapes shine together, they create a romantic atmosphere.
The thick layer of snow not only isolates the noise, but also adds a sense of tranquility and harmony. The night in Snow Town brings people not only the enjoyment of beauty, but also the most beautiful interpretation of nature and tranquility.
Growing up means to bring fairy tales, one by one, into reality, and see the irreplaceable fairy tale world with your own eyes.

You only live once
Xuexiang is a place you will only visit once in your lifetime.
Geographical location: Xuexiang is located in the Hailin Forest Area of Mudanjiang City, which is quite remote. It takes more than 5 hours to drive from Harbin, so it is recommended to charter a car to get there.
All foreign vehicles cannot enter Xuexiang, you need to change to the shuttle bus inside, the ticket is 120 yuan. The shuttle bus doesn't go far inside, there are several stops, you can get off according to your needs. The whole Xuexiang is actually not big, Xueyun Street is about 1 kilometer, one side is a homestay and the other side is catering hot springs etc. The consumption is definitely more expensive than the urban area or outside the scenic area, after all, they only operate for two or three months.
Accommodation: You need to make an appointment in advance, the price of homestays is high and low, and the fire kang is worth experiencing.
Dreamland: You need to buy a separate ticket to enter, Errenzhuan is also inside, but I personally think it's not good-looking. If you want to take pictures of the mushroom house, you can go to the plank road to take pictures. There is also a viewing platform where you can overlook.
Honestly, it's just like that after going there. The commercialization is too strong, the snow is better than other places, but there is no big surprise. There are still some shops that cheat people, pay attention to identify by yourself, I personally think that it is enough to go once, and I will not go again in the future.

Hengdaohezizhen Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Apr)
I am in Hengdaohezi, writing you a love letter from the north
This is the Hengdaohezi version of a winter love song,
where the snow is so clear and translucent it reminds one of Liu Changqing's poem:
"At dusk, the mountains are distant, the air is cold, and the houses are poor."
The snowy mountains in the mist are faintly discernible,
and the town below is dreamlike and fantastical,
the Middle Eastern Railway still stands tall,
and the Russian church tells you of the past.
This beauty that plays hard to get,
makes time even more worthwhile.
Here, I have found the 101st way to enjoy winter,
which is to write you a love letter from the north,
waiting for you to open it...
🚄 High-speed rail transportation
Departing from Harbin, it takes about 1.5h to reach Hengdaohezi East by high-speed train
Recommended departure 07:04→08:35, return 15:59→17:30
At Harbin station, you can also check in at the train station with a Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry vibe
📌 Photo route
Hengdaohezi Train Station→Popular Railway Crossing→Middle Eastern Locomotive Depot→Russian Style Town→Suiman Road Dongshan Street Intersection→Panoramic Hillside→Church of the Virgin's Entry (Middle Eastern Railway Museum)→Oil Painting Village
📷 Photo strategy
1⃣️ Hengdaohezi Train Station P14-16
Not a high-speed train station, but an old one in town, a retro Russian castle-style station, where you can stand at the railing or the exit to get a good shot in minutes.
2⃣️ Popular Railway Crossing P9-P10
Green railings, black tracks, warm yellow houses, and striking signal lights, a Japanese drama scene vibe. The railway is in normal operation, and when a train passes by, a gate will block the way, so predict in advance from which direction the train will come and take a good position to get a photo with the train in the frame. There's a small shop nearby where you can get hot water and warm up.
3⃣️ Middle Eastern Locomotive Depot
The locomotive depot is an annex to the train station
The two streets next to the depot are popular streets
4️⃣ Russian Style Town P6-P7
Rows of yellow low-rise houses, set against distant mountains, have a cinematic feel.
5⃣️ Suiman Road Dongshan Street Intersection P8
Low houses in the background, roads leading to the distance, passers-by and vehicles coming and going, great for street photography.
6️⃣ Panoramic Hillside P1-P5
Walk up the hill from the road next to the locomotive depot, the hill is not high, and you can climb up in minutes, standing on the hillside you can overlook the entire town, the view is very good, a must-visit spot.
7️⃣️ Church of the Virgin's Entry P17
Next to the Forest Sea Snowfield Visitor Center, you can see a green church on the steps, now the Middle Eastern Railway Museum, a railway museum in a century-old church.
8️⃣ Oil Painting Village P18
The Oil Painting Village is right next to the church, with low yellow houses covered in thick white snow, very cute.
👔 Clothing
🔸 Color: Wear solid colors, light blue, light yellow, don't need too high saturation, don't be too fancy.
🔸 Match: You can match a bright/contrasting color hat, scarf, gloves, etc., choose a long scarf for a more elegant photo.
🧣 Keep warm
🔹 Top: Warm patch➕thermal underwear➕sweater/sweatshirt➕down jacket
🔹 Bottom: Super thick fleece-lined pants
🔹 Shoes: Fleece-lined snow boots➕thick socks➕heated insoles (to keep toes from freezing)

Hengdaohezi: Exploring the charm of Northeast winter
🎈Before I came to Hengdaohezi in the Northeast, I knew almost nothing about this small town. However, when I set foot in this snowy area, I discovered the unique charm of the Northeast winter.
🎈First, let me mention the time in Harbin city. At that time, I had never seen such beautiful snow scenery. But when I arrived at Hengdaohezi, I was almost buried alive in a snow pit. This made me realize that the cold in the Northeast is not just cold, but a hellish experience.
🎈However, the beauty here is not just about the scenery. For me, the most important thing is to be able to live well. To cope with the cold, I wrapped myself like a meatball, and even the Northeast tigers gave me a look of disgust. My sisters all put on big cotton pants, warmers, down jackets, hats, gloves, scarves, and I was no exception.
🎈Hengdaohezi is a typical Northeast rural small town, with smoking chimneys and crooked utility poles. The heating here is sometimes on and sometimes off, and it gets completely dark at four o'clock every afternoon. Accompanied by heavy snow, you will find that there really exists a parallel time and space here. Walking in this small town, it seems to have traveled into the long winter of the Northeast.
🎈When touring Hengdaohezi, you can go to see the Gothic tower tip and the brightly colored train station, which is as beautiful as a fairy tale. In addition, at the railway crossing, you can also feel the unique charm under the heavy snow. The Church of the Virgin Mary is the only wooden carved structure church in China, with a typical Russian architectural style. In the museum, you can also learn about the life and culture of the emigrants at that time. In addition, there are more than 200 Russian-style wooden houses in the town, such as yellow houses, green doors, and board camphor trees, which are very beautiful to take pictures at will. The Hengdaohezi locomotive depot retains the historical memory of an era, and those rusty steam locomotive heads witnessed the glorious moment of this small town.
🎈If you are interested in animals, you must not miss the Hengdaohezi Northeast Tiger Forest Park. This is the world's largest artificial breeding base for Northeast tigers, and I am only a layer of wire mesh away from the Northeast big cats. Although Wu Song's experience of fighting tigers made me confused, it did not prevent me from being a cat lover to stroke the cats. Here, the Northeast tigers show their king of beasts, with thick fur, their beauty is fascinating.
🎈Regarding transportation, Hengdaohezi Town is about 278 kilometers away from Harbin, and it takes about 3 hours to drive. It takes about 1.5 hours to take the high-speed rail from Harbin, 88 kilometers away from Snow Town, and 61 kilometers away from Yabuli Town. If it is during the holiday period, it is recommended to drive there, because you can't get a car at all after getting off the car. Usually, taking the D-train back and forth is the most convenient choice.
🎈Regarding the itinerary, after you arrive at Hengdaohezi, you can go to visit the Northeast Tiger Forest Park first, but be careful not to stay outdoors for too long to avoid losing temperature. After eating tendon cakes at noon, you can visit the Russian-style small town, train station, town streets, railway crossings, and locomotive depots along the way.
🎈Finally, there are some precautions to remind everyone. First, it is recommended to find an indoor place to warm up every 1 hour to avoid getting cold. Secondly, because the snow is very thick, you must wear non-slip shoes, avoid going to places without footprints, and easily sink into the snow.
🎈Hengdaohezi, this small town in the Northeast winter, its beauty and charm far exceed my original imagination. If you want to experience the real Northeast winter, why not come here and feel the tranquility and loneliness in the ice and snow.

Siberian tiger park!! It is the perfect place to see this beautiful creature. Located in the middle city of Harbin, it is very easy to access. When you arrive, you can choose whether you want to take the closed-windows bus or the open one (with trellis of course), where you can feed the tigers from the inside, which is I would recommend to do! #HalloTrip

Erlang River Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Apr)
On the way to Kaixue Township, Harbin. After passing Yabuli, I started to take the provincial road. The scenery is much more beautiful. Of course, I have to start patting when I am sitting in the co-driver.
I always wanted to play a group of road photography again. Unfortunately, there is still no chance. It seems that only the Northwest is suitable.
Winter where there is snow is really beautiful, just take a shot is a big film! The most important thing is that no one is nobody! ! ! ! On the afternoon that we arrived, we took an afternoon in front of the house. No one was bothering. I really wanted to know how to shape it! ! !
NIKI ZUO.
The Erlang River, which has not been over-exploited, together with Xuexiang, belongs to the Dahailin Forestry Bureau, which is relatively close to the Big Bald Mountain, and the snow scene is relatively primitive and natural. Compared to Xuexiang, Erlang River seems to be much quieter. It is not as crowded as Xuexiang. The scenic spots do not accept tickets. There are not many entertainment projects, but it is very cheap compared to the accommodation in Xuexiang. If you don't like people, just to see the snow, personally feel that there is absolutely no need to go to Xuexiang. Staying in Erlanghe is completely OK. The snowfall of
Erlang River is second only to Xuexiang, and the famous landscapes around it are: Xuexiang Gallery and Big Bald Mountain. You can help you book your ticket to the Big Bald Mountain through the owner of the hotel. It is strongly recommended to come out at three o'clock to see the sunset and sunset, the special beauty of the sunset under the snow. There is not much entertainment required, but simple snow circles are still there. The price is not expensive compared to the snow town. 50 one person. Can play to the dark. The children are not afraid of cold, it is best for them to play this.
The waves of the Erlang River are quite thick, and they are on the knees. It is recommended to wear longer snow boots, otherwise it is easy to get into the soles of the feet. It is a very uncomfortable thing to know that shoes are wet in such cold weather.

Erlang River is more than 40 kilometers away from Xuexiang and it takes about one hour to drive. The snowy town is full of excitement, singing at night, while the Erlang River is exceptionally quiet. The locals said that this is the appearance of Xuexiang ten years ago, a rare piece of pure land. When I first arrived at Erlanghe, I found this to be a very sensational place. Many people come to Erlanghe for a transit. They don't choose to stay here. The clubs we participate in are specially arranged to stay here for one night and experience the most simple village.
Everything is so quiet. It has not been fully developed yet. Naturally, there is no such thing as a snowy town. In comparison, there is a little silence and simplicity. No need for too many gorgeous decorations, everything goes with the flow, here is also known as the new snow town. I prefer such a village. The only local residents who can see on the road are our party. Stepping on the white snow, the sound of "squeaking" from time to time, strolling through the village, watching the smoke of every household rise, as if I am also a person in the village, feeling the original, simple, quiet and peaceful. The Erlang River is also a natural oxygen bar, and the forest contains a lot of negative oxygen ions.
Location: Hailin City, Mudanjiang City is 43 kilometers away from China Snow Town and 40 kilometers away from Yabuli Tourism Town.
Arrival method: The bus from Harbin to Erlanghe has about 5 shifts per day, and the fare is between 100-120 yuan. If there are tourists who want to go directly from Yabuli Ski Resort to Erlang River, the bus from Yabuli directly to Erlang River has 3 shifts a day, and the fare is 40 yuan.
chenhaowen.
Also in Mudanjiang, the original snow town of Erlang River makes me happy and nostalgic. There are no tourists here, the tour groups are just passing by, so the scenery here can still retain the originality and purity.
Specially placed a red cloak, put it on a wide unmanned snow can have a variety of concave shape, don't worry about other people's eyes ~
To say more, some horse-drawn sledge merchants Very good, will let you buy a free photo, but some even discuss the horse's portrait right with you to charge! So it is recommended to ask before taking pictures, or they are not secretly taking pictures~~

A detailed guide to Datudingzi Mountain and the Ten-Mile Ice and Snow Gallery
🎫 **About Tickets**
When making the guide, I saw several ways to buy tickets: a 240 yuan joint ticket plus extra charter fee, 280 yuan including joint ticket and charter fee; there is also a way to buy joint tickets through the charter driver or the owner of the homestay, but I did not find a specific purchase route or contact information of the relevant person. In the end, I chose to buy the official joint ticket with the tour guide on the official bus of Longyun, which includes the joint ticket of Datudingzi Mountain and the Ten-Mile Gallery, as well as round-trip transportation services.🚌
🚌 **About Transportation**
1️⃣ Take the bus at the entrance of the "Yabuli Direction Sightseeing Car Transfer Station" to the parking lot at the entrance of "China Snow Town", and then transfer to Longyun's own bus (about 3 minutes in total);
2️⃣ The Longyun bus will drive directly to the parking lot under Datudingzi Mountain (about 30 minutes in total);
3️⃣ Walk from the parking lot to the off-road vehicle boarding point, where you can take the off-road vehicle (about 9 people can be accommodated) to the middle of the mountain, and then transfer to a motorcycle directly to Datudingzi Mountain (although it does not reach the top of the mountain, it is about 50 meters away from the top of the mountain and needs to walk);
4️⃣ After the tour of Datudingzi Mountain is over, queue up at the place where the motorcycle is off to wait for the motorcycle, and then take the off-road vehicle back to the entrance of the mountain;
5️⃣ After the tour of the Ten-Mile Gallery is over, take the Longyun bus back to the parking lot of "China Snow Town";
6️⃣ Enter the "China Snow Town" Tourist Service Center by swiping your ID card or ticket QR code, and then take the bus to the entrance of the "Yabuli Direction Transfer Station".
🎠 **About the Tourist Attractions**
❄️ **Datudingzi Mountain:**
This is an excellent place to shoot snow scenes and play with snow. I suggest playing this project first to avoid the impact of too many people on the shooting effect. Under the sun, the snow field is sparkling with little lights, which is very aesthetic against the blue sky! I suggest walking a little deeper into the forest, where the snow is not knee-deep, and you can play freely: throw snow, jump in the snow, write in the snow. There is a suggested house on the top of the mountain where you can go in to warm up and buy food.
❄️ **Ten-Mile Gallery (under Datudingzi Mountain):**
There is a small zoo at the entrance, which houses wild boars, roe deer, and sika deer; inside are various wooden house shapes in the snow forest; there is also a place for free horse riding, but you need to pay for taking pictures; at the end, there is a snow dragon that can take you to the exit, this project is very interesting, but the time is a bit short.
Warm Tips:
- Sunglasses: Because it's all white, your eyes will be uncomfortable, so remember to wear them;
- Snow cover: If you want to play deeper into the forest, it is recommended to prepare for the deep snow area;
- Snow claws: On this 50-meter section of the road up and down Datudingzi Mountain, the ground is a bit sloping, and the snow is compacted, so it is easy to fall, so it comes in handy at this time.

The Northern Journey of a Little Potato from the South
Living in the south for many years, this year I finally had a deep encounter with the severe winter in the north, experiencing the real cold. Despite digging out thick clothes that have been idle for many days, fully armed from head to toe, in the face of the biting cold wind, it was of no avail. My face was blown by the wind and it hurt, water turned into ice in the severe cold, and mobile phone cameras stopped working one after another, and I could only rely on 'warm baby' to survive... However, the cold also bred stunning beauty.

The Snow Village located in the Changbai Mountain Range was originally a forest farm, but after transformation, it became a tourist attraction. The pure white snow covers the wooden houses in the village, with red lanterns and yellow corn cobs dotted in between, which has a strong northeastern characteristic. When night falls, under the illumination of the lights, it seems to enter a wonderful fairy tale world...
👍Most recommended:
The Big Bald Mountain in Hailin City is the highest peak in Heilongjiang. You can ride a snowmobile to the top of the Big Bald Mountain to enjoy the snow-covered forest, rime and snow willows; the ice sculptures on the bank of the Songhua River are of various shapes, and the cold ice blocks have turned into lifelike buildings and animals...
🌟Highlights:
I stayed in the Northeast Kang, soaked in the ice and snow hot springs, rode a horse-drawn sled, experienced passionate skiing, ate Northeast special pig-killing dishes, an unforgettable trip to the Northeast!
📝Note tips:
You need to prepare hats and gloves in the Northeast, otherwise it is easy to get frostbite when you go outdoors.
📝Note tips:
Northeastern dishes are large in portion, you can order more dishes with more people, and try more varieties.
📝Note tips:
The Ice and Snow World is especially cold. If you don't bring enough clothes, there are military coats for rent outside the door, 80 yuan each time.
📝Note tips:
You must go to the top of the Big Bald Mountain (usually by paid ice motorcycle), the rime is very beautiful.

Finally, someone has explained the Ten-Mile Gallery and the Big Bald Mountain!!!
For the first time going to Harbin, I found that Yabuli and Snow Village are quite far from the city, so I booked a Harbin 3-day 2-night private tour on Ctrip.
-
🚗How does the private tour arrange the itinerary?
Day1 Harbin-Yabuli (2.5h)-Sunshine Resort Ski Resort-Forest Hot Spring
🏨Yabuli Ying Mountain Apartment
Day2 Yabuli Forest Tribe-Ten Mile Gallery➕Big Bald Mountain-Snow Village
🏨Zhao Lao Er Family Inn
Day3 Hammer Mountain-Snow Village (5h)-Harbin
-
🧷Two entrances
The Big Bald Mountain has two entrances, one is to queue up to ride a snowmobile directly (left entrance), and the other is the entrance of the Ten-Mile Gallery (right entrance).
If you go to the Big Bald Mountain before going to the Snow Village, it is the left entrance. Generally, you go to Yabuli first, and then to the Big Bald Mountain, it is the right entrance.
PS: The following are all right entrances

💰Charges
Ticket 180➕Snowmobile 280➕Ten Mile Dragon 80
Three-in-one ticket 460 saves 80/person
-
❓Is it worth going
The cost of 460/person is not cheap, the most impressive thing for me is the snowmobile, it's really exciting, people are about to fly out, if you are with the elderly or very young children, it is not recommended to go, young people can go in and experience it and then take some photos
-
❗️Precautions
1, Lumbar disc herniation and heart disease cannot ride a snowmobile, the elderly and very young children also need to pay attention to safety
2, The top of the mountain is really cold, be sure to keep warm
3, Prepare a few more warm baby mobile phone stickers, otherwise it will keep shutting down
4, Bear Big is at the door, Bear Two and Bald Strong are in the room

When you go to Harbin for a tour, you must make a good strategy, otherwise there will be all kinds of inexplicable consumption, and you don't know if you are being pitted, especially Yabuli and Snow Village, the southern small potato avoids the pit and clicks the homepage
