A spontaneous pilgrimage to Xueling—who doesn't love this northern snow town!

️From the vast snowfields of Inner Mongolia to Harbin's Ice and Snow World, and then to the Korean ethnic charm of Yanji, this snowy journey completely captivated me in the northern winter! 🏔️ 🌟Travel Tips: 1️⃣ Hailar → Harbin: Night sleeper train 🚂 perfect for those who love to sleep in 2️⃣ Harbin → Yanji: High-speed train, super fast direct trip in 2.5 hours 3️⃣ Yanji → Xueling: Find a reliable carpool driver, just 1.5 hours away! We originally planned to hike at Laolike Lake 🏃‍♀️, but the local driver said hiking in Xueling is easier, so the three lazy ones obediently agreed—after all, laid-back travel means having fun wherever you go! 🤣 ⏰Arrived at Xueling Visitor Center at 11 AM 📍 (Location: Erdaobaihe Town, Antu County, Yanbian Prefecture, Jilin Province), and it started snowing as soon as we reached the foot of the mountain—overcast sky + swirling snowflakes, isn’t this a winter scene straight out of an anime?! ❄️ ✨The surprise was that the sky cleared suddenly after we reached the top! A pure white world + dazzling sunshine, felt like stepping into a fairy tale! 🏰 💨The wind at the summit was strong, but the snow quality in the Northeast is truly amazing! Fine and fluffy like cotton candy 🍬, when the wind blows, the air is filled with dancing snowflakes—southern kids were completely mesmerized! ⛸️Tour Tips: - Hiking duration: about 4 hours, stopping to take photos and play - Other activities: horse-drawn sled 🐎, snowmobile 🏍️ - Recommended gear: thick gloves 🧤, plush hat, non-slip shoes 👟 💡Money-saving tip: Carpooling is really great! Splitting the fare with two others is super cost-effective—and you can make new friends too! 👭
