I've been to Harbin and Snow Village, and here are some honest words
✅Clothing
Head: Hat, earmuffs, mask
Upper body: Down jacket, thick sweater, thermal underwear, gloves, scarf
Lower body: Thick trousers, thermal pants, thick socks, snow boots
✅Accommodation: Yado Hotel on Friendship Road, Central Street, Harbin
1. The hotel is by the Songhua River, convenient for a walk; it's 2 kilometers away from Central Street, a half-hour walk, very convenient
2. The high floors of the hotel offer a direct view of the night view and sunset of the Songhua River
3. Breakfast is served until 10:30. Very sincere; many fans know that Yado's breakfast is very rich, and it varies according to each city. This kind of Yado breakfast actually has silkworm pupae, very unique. Haha
4. Yado members can delay check-out until 16:00 in the afternoon, convenient for going straight from Harbin to Snow Village Yabuli
✅Itinerary
1⃣DAY1:
Harbin→Central Street→Saint Sophia Cathedral→Songhua River→Ice and Snow World
📍Central Street: A food shopping street, 1450 meters long, built in 1900, with Baroque-style buildings on the side, very beautiful; here you can eat Laochang spring rolls and Madir ice pops (5 yuan, basically by hand, super delicious)
📍Saint Sophia Cathedral: Very historical, the exterior is grand and dignified, the interior decorations and pictures are extremely exquisite, the ticket is 35 yuan
📍Songhua River: The frozen Songhua River is too cool. You can leave, and then there are some entertainment projects, such as dog sledding (I think the dogs are too poor, they look very painful)
📍Ice and Snow World: Highly recommended, beautiful both day and night! They are all buildings carved from ice and snow. It's very cold inside. You must wear two pairs of socks
2⃣DAY2: Harbin→Yabuli Ski Resort
Harbin to Yabuli is 230 kilometers, 3 hours; the first time I saw such a high ski resort I was super excited, the tracks are divided into advanced, intermediate, and beginner, for the first time skiing, I can only go to beginner skiing, if you are particularly interested in skiing, you can also hire a coach, skiing for 3 hours (including snow shoes, ski poles, snowboard)
3⃣DAY3: Yabuli Ski Resort→Ya Snow Post Station→Datudingzi Mountain→Ice and Snow Gallery→Snow Village
📍Ya Snow Post Station:
There are plank roads, forest wildlife park, bandit nest Weihu Village; package ticket 168 yuan
📍Ice and Snow Gallery: There are forest nature trails suitable for tourists to walk, and there is also a Northeast Wildlife Park (bears, dogs, deer, wild boars, etc.).)
📍Snow Village:
No one can escape the beauty of Snow Village!! Snow Village is not big, but under the cover of snow, the mushroom houses are too beautiful.
