[2025 Wuchang Attraction] Travel guide for Xuexiang Gouxiongling (updated Dec)

1. Pre-trip Must-Reads: Double Tips to Save Money and Stay Warm - Best Time: Late December to mid-February, when snow is abundant, snow mushrooms are fully formed, and temperatures stabilize between -15°C to -25°C. This is the golden period for photos and experiences. - Money-saving Transportation: Prioritize official carpooling from Harbin to Snow Town (120 RMB/person, 5 hours). Choose reputable companies like Longyun Tourism; it's cheaper and safer than unlicensed cars. For the return trip, carpool to Yabuli West Station, then take the high-speed train back to Harbin (80 RMB for train + 50 RMB for carpool), flexible and economical. - Warmth Essentials: Waterproof snow boots are a must! (Regular cotton shoes get soaked in half an hour.) Fleece-lined snow pants, wool hats + ear muffs are standard; don’t buy heat packs in the scenic area—they cost 10 RMB per pack in Harbin supermarkets. Stick them on your phone and insoles to prevent shutdown. - Accommodation Tips: Choose guesthouses on the outskirts of Snow Town (10-minute walk to Xueyun Street). Two nights average 400 RMB per person. Prioritize booking “independent kang bed + heating + private bathroom,” avoid 8-person dormitories, and ask the host to preheat the kang before bedtime. 2. Daily Itinerary: Fully Enjoy the Core Without Wasting Money Day 1: Head to the Fairy Tale — Depart from Harbin, Unlock Your First Snow Town Experience - Morning: Gather in Harbin and carpool to Snow Town. Enjoy the snowy forest scenery along the way. Remember to bring some snacks. - Afternoon: Warm up at the guesthouse upon arrival, drop off luggage, then head straight to Xueyun Street (free). The snow mushrooms on the roof of Sister Zhou’s house are the densest; you can take stunning snow photos without entering the paid park. Buy some frozen persimmons or frozen pears by the roadside (10 RMB/portion), their icy slush texture is very refreshing. - Evening: Eat at a Northeast-style canteen (50 RMB/person). Must-try dishes include sauerkraut with pork and blood sausage + corn cakes. Hot soup instantly warms you up. At 7 PM, go to Snow Town Square to get free hot water and try “water splash turning to ice.” Wearing a red jacket for photos adds a natural filter. At 8 PM, join the bonfire party (30 RMB/person), dance the Yangko with locals, lively and warming. - Expenses for the day: Carpool 120 RMB + meals 50 RMB + bonfire 30 RMB = 200 RMB Day 2: Deep Exploration — Double Romance of Sunrise and Snowfield - Early Morning: Wake up at 5:30 AM to watch the sunrise at Yangcao Mountain. Hike 5 km through the snow (free, ice cleats required for grip). Arrive 30 minutes before sunrise; the snowy forest in the morning mist looks like a fairyland. If tired, choose a snowmobile (150 RMB/person), the wind and snow particles make it thrilling. - Morning: Visit Bangchui Mountain Observation Deck (includes shuttle 130 RMB/person). From the top, overlook the entire Snow Town, with red lanterns reflecting on endless snow mushrooms. Every photo looks like a “Nordic fairy tale” masterpiece. - Afternoon: Enjoy low-cost fun — bargain for a horse-drawn sled ride (50 RMB/person), sit on a padded sled and slide through the snow path. Visit the Snow Town Museum (free) to see old forestry artifacts and learn about Snow Town’s history. - Evening: Upgrade dinner to iron pot stew (80 RMB/person). Order hazel mushrooms stewed with small chicken; dip the corn cakes stuck to the pot edge in the soup—delicious. After dinner, stroll around the guesthouse shops and buy a bag of Northeast sauerkraut (10 RMB/bag) as a souvenir, half the price of scenic area specialties. - Expenses for the day: Observation deck ticket 130 RMB + snowmobile 150 RMB + meals 130 RMB + horse sled 50 RMB = 460 RMB Day 3: Savor the Moment — Folk Experience, Return Full of Memories - Morning: Visit a nearby DIY shop at the guesthouse, spend 20 RMB making paper-cut snowflake window decorations. Handmade souvenirs are more meaningful than bought ones. If time allows, take a walk in the birch forest (free), where sunlight filters through branches onto the snow, perfect for artistic photos. - Noon: Eat a bowl of Northeast coarse grain porridge with pickles (15 RMB/person), simple and filling, then check out. - Afternoon: Carpool to Yabuli West Station, take the high-speed train back to Harbin (130 RMB/person), reminiscing about Snow Town’s winter romance. If staying in Harbin, buy a Madieer ice pop on Central Street (5 RMB) to end the trip. - Expenses for the day: DIY 20 RMB + meals 15 RMB + return transport 130 RMB = 165 RMB 3. Total Cost Breakdown (Per Person) - Transportation: Round-trip carpool + high-speed train 300 RMB - Accommodation: 2 nights guesthouse 400 RMB - Tickets + Experiences: Bangchui Mountain 130 RMB + snowmobile 150 RMB + bonfire 30 RMB + horse sled 50 RMB = 360 RMB - Meals: About 250 RMB for 3 days (including snacks and meals) - Souvenirs + Miscellaneous: Frozen goods 10 RMB + window decoration 20 RMB + heat packs 10 RMB = 40 RMB - Total: 300 + 400 + 360 + 250 + 40 = 1350 RMB (Reserve 200 RMB for emergencies, 1600 RMB per person is enough; with a 2000 RMB budget, you can upgrade one night to a scenic area guesthouse or add 200 RMB for a 1-hour ski instructor) The romance of Snow Town is never built on high expenses—it’s the warmth of the kang bed, the amazement of water turning to ice, the gentleness of snow mushrooms under red lanterns, and the satisfaction of a hot bowl of soup in the cold wind. This guide helps you avoid traps and spend every penny on true happiness. This winter, go to Snow Town for a fairy tale rendezvous!

The North Slope package includes entrance, eco-bus, shuttle bus, and Heavenly Lake bus for 305 RMB. 2. Depart before 7 AM to avoid crowds. The eco-bus takes 1 hour to the transfer center, then switch to a shuttle bus to reach Heavenly Lake. 3. The summit is 15°C colder than the base—bring foot warmers.

Scenic areas have anti-slip measures, and they’re unnecessary for skiing. 🚗 Transportation & Accommodation Tips 🚘 Transportation: After arriving in Harbin, consider hiring a car. Winter roads can be slippery, and professional drivers ensure safety. 🏠 Changbai Mountain: Stay in Erdaobaihe for the North Slope or Songjianghe Town for the West Slope, depending on your itinerary. This itinerary covers snow, mountains, lakes, and food—everything Northeast China has to offer. First-timers will love it! People say visiting Heavenly Lake brings good luck for the year—wishing you the best of luck! ✨

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

❄️ Opening Bombshell: If you think Snow Town is the pinnacle of Northeast snow scenery, you’ve really missed out! This hidden "Snow Valley" deep in Heilongjiang is the true uncommercialized ice and snow kingdom! I, a Guangdong native who shivers even wearing a down jacket in the south, jumped around here for three days and even learned how to turn water into ice by splashing it✨ 🌟 Why Snow Valley and not Snow Town? Price difference is 3 times: Snow Valley homestay kang bed 80 RMB/night vs Snow Town 380 RMB Fewer people, wilder scenery: Snow Town’s tourist density is 5 times that of Snow Valley (tested!) Unique trekking experience: Classic "Snow Valley - Yangcao Mountain - Snow Town" hiking route starts at Snow Valley! 🚗 Genius transportation hack (budget version) Harbin → Snow Valley ultimate plan: ❶ High-speed train to Yabuli West Station (1.5h/76 RMB) ❷ Pre-arrange carpool with homestay owner (50 RMB/person) ✅ Total time 3h | Total cost 126 RMB (Saves 74 RMB compared to direct shuttle, and 1 hour faster!) 🏡 Accommodation treasure recommendation “Snow Valley Zhang Sanjie’s Home” (my real experience) Kang bed so hot you flip over at midnight🔥 Big sister teaches free paper-cutting art 5 AM trip to see the rime frost🌲 80 RMB per person including breakfast and dinner (dumplings to your fill!) 📸 Must-shoot iconic scenes tutorial Best time, outfit suggestions, and shooting tips Water splash to ice: 1 hour after sunrise, bright sweater + fluffy hat, hot water + big arm swing Lantern snow night blue hour (16:30) white down jacket, phone flashlight on Forest rime frost 7-8 AM red scarf highlight, upward angle + sprinkle snow powder 🎿 5 genius ways to get your money’s worth Free snow tubing → borrow from homestay! Slide anywhere on the snow slope DIY candied hawthorn → homestay provides hawthorn and syrup, do it yourself Night stargazing → go out after 11 PM, Milky Way visible to naked eye🌌 Help owner chop firewood → unlock hidden activity: ride horse-drawn sled Dig snow traps → next day check animal footprints and guess who’s who🐾 🥘 Food pros and cons ✅ Must-eat: Iron pot stewed goose! Perfect with corn cakes Frozen pear assassin (soak in water before eating, biting directly will break your teeth) Wild vegetable dumplings (limited at Zhang Sanjie’s, book in advance) ❌ Avoid: Grilled sausage in scenic area (10 RMB each, buy for 3 RMB downhill) “Wild blueberry juice” (mostly mixed drinks) Snowmobile (150 RMB/10 minutes, better to hike) 👑 Exclusive tips: Southerners’ warmth survival skills As a Guangdong native, I survived with these: Warm patch placement: 2 on soles + 1 on waist + 1 on phone back (Apple users, lifesaver) Breathing technique: scarf covers mouth and nose to avoid cold air hitting lungs directly Ultimate gear: ski socks + snow boots, better than wearing two pairs of cotton socks! 💡 Experiences that make you stand out Feed silly roe deer early morning: go to the back mountain with homestay owner, they really bow! First ice fishing experience: just drill a hole in the lake, fish are so dumb it’s heartbreaking Write snow love letters: use sticks to write big characters on the deserted snowfield, drone shots are stunning 📝 Three days two nights itinerary (lazy copy-paste version) Day 1: Arrive afternoon → stroll Snow Valley old street → shoot lantern night scenes → learn paper-cutting Day 2: 5 AM rime frost → hike half of Yangcao Mountain → snow hotpot → stargazing Day 3: Water splash to ice → ice fishing → feed roe deer → 2 PM return trip 🌈 Final soul hit On the last night in Snow Valley, Zhang Sanjie suddenly said: “You city folks always say you can’t find north, here, open the door and it’s north.” At that moment I suddenly understood — what we cross mountains and rivers searching for is this “certain sense of direction.” The beauty of Snow Valley is not how thick the snow is, but that people here still believe: winter should be spent around the stove telling true stories, strangers should share the same pot of dumplings, and in a world at -30°C, warmth can be measured by splashing a basin of boiling water into the sky. Interaction time: Which Snow Valley activity do you most want to try? What other survival tips do southerners have for winter? (3 commenters will be randomly selected to receive Snow Valley postcards + frozen pear delivered to your home!)

I've heard Dog Bear Ridge hides the last secret of Northeast China㊙️ Only after entering this primeval forest did I realize Big Bear and Second Bear are guarding not just their home But also our long-lost childhood dreams🌲 When Bald Qiang’s chainsaw sounds turn into birdsong in the forest🐦 This once 'damaged' forest Is healing every urban soul with the wildest vitality Location: Dog Bear Ridge, where I found the animated world’s wild animals by chance (not bears!) 2. Forgot my phone password (because there’s zero signal) 3. Got ‘Don’t Want to Go Home Syndrome’ But I still recommend you come once📢 I always thought Dog Bear Ridge only existed in cartoons Until I truly set foot on this land—— 🌳 About that legendary forest Pine waves like the sea, birch trees shining silver in the sunlight Walking along the path Bald Qiang might have cut through Moss thick like a green carpet The air filled with the fresh scent of pine needles and earth The scenes from the animation—come alive before your eyes 🐿️ Animal neighbors more than expected Woken up by the woodpecker’s ‘tap tap’ in the morning Squirrels clutching pine cones jumping across branches overhead The forest ranger said deer often come to the creek to drink at dusk ‘What about bears?’ I asked ‘They’re deeper in the mountains, leaving each other alone’ Turns out this is the wisdom of coexistence 🏡 What’s it like to stay in a forest cabin We found the exact wooden cabin from the animation! At night, gathered around the stove eating iron pot stew Outside the window, a sky full of stars No Wi-Fi, but the owner tells forest stories And the taste of childhood just like in memories 📸 Don’t miss these check-in spots • Rainbow Waterfall (rainbow appears at 3 PM!) • Century-old Tree Hole Mailbox (you can really send letters) • Bear Watching Platform (watch mama bear with cubs from a safe distance) • Starry Sky Camp (the Milky Way is unbelievably clear) 📍 Practical Tips • Best season: September to October (colorful forest) • Transportation: First arrive in Harbin, then a 3-hour car ride • Must bring: mosquito repellent, hiking shoes, camera • Safety: go deeper only with a guide, don’t go alone Dog Bear Ridge has no war between Bald Qiang and the bears Only the most original reconciliation with nature Here, you’re not a tourist You’re a ‘forest citizen’ briefly returning to the woods"
