Where is the most photogenic place in Jilin? Xueling is highly recommended!

How to choose between Laolike Lake and Xueling? Many people are confused about this question. In fact, these two places are almost in the same forest, so choosing either one is similar. Both have snowmobiles, horse-drawn sleds, and snow-covered landscapes, dense pine forests, and adorable reindeer. So, which one to go to depends entirely on your mood and preference! Take Xueling as an example. I personally suggest that if you have experienced snowmobiles in Changbai Mountain, then hike up the mountain. The mountains here are not high, and you can reach the top by walking and taking photos along the way. There are several activities at the top of the mountain. The first is the famous deer feeding activity. Reindeer are quite different from sika deer. Santa's sleigh has a fairy tale feel. The deer feeding snacks for 30 yuan are a bit of a rip-off. In the scenic spots I have been to, 30 yuan for a small portion is considered expensive. I don't know if the plants that reindeer eat are inherently valuable. Here's a little tip: be sure to cover your snacks before entering the deer park. Once they find out you have food, they will surround you, forcing you to raise your hands high to avoid your 30 yuan being gone in an instant. The second activity is driving a snowmobile through the forest, claiming to be 4 km, but it's actually not, about 3.5 km. Boys might like it. It's 298 yuan per trip, and two people can take turns driving. If it's your first time and you have no experience, don't ride too fast, as it can be dangerous. You can stop halfway to take photos! The third activity is taking photos in various thatched cottages, log cabins, swings, and small forests. You can pose in all the ways you imagine to embrace this forest and snowfield and record it. Finally, you can take a horse-drawn sled down the mountain. It's quite interesting, but be sure to pay attention. It's best not to sit in the first row. As for why, I won't explain much. Whoever sits there will know... It's not recommended to sit in the first row right after eating. That's all for the overall activities. Although not rich, it still has great appeal to me. After all, such heavy snow is not seen in my city. Finally, a reminder to everyone: be sure to go early! Although the sunset is beautiful, the morning sunlight is the most dazzling. The best lighting for photos is still in the morning. Many people think they can see the lake at Laolike Lake, but it's actually all white, with no difference. So don't worry about the name. Just pick one between Xueling and Laolike Lake and go for it!!!
