Snow valley

The "Snow Valley" has the original charm of deep mountains and old forests, without any pollution sources, and is a good choice for ecological tourism in Longjiang in all seasons. In spring, you can go hiking and photography; in summer, you can escape the heat and relax, do ecological sightseeing and rafting; in autumn, you can watch Wuhua Mountain and go mountaineering and adventure; in winter, you can cross the China Snow Valley, climb the thousand-meter peak, and go snow rafting at ten thousand meters.
Above the starting point of the Snow Valley, you can hike, ride a go-kart, take a sightseeing car, or ride a horse sleigh to enjoy and photograph the pristine beauty. At the foot of the Datudingzi Mountain, about 13 kilometers away from the site, there are many snow mushrooms and the snow-covered grass looks just like the grasslands of Europe.

There was actually not much snow in the Snow Valley at this time. The snow we saw was only a thin layer, and the road was a little icy. We had to be very careful when walking, as it was easy to slip. We came to the Northeast to see the snow, but we didn't see any snow on the third day. We were a little confused, did we come too early?

It seems that this place is not fully ready to welcome guests. All the hotels along the way said that the scenery will become very beautiful from mid-December, and there will be a lot of people at that time. Indeed, when we went there at the end of November, the temperature was not cold enough and we could not see some scenery, but when it really came to the peak season, there seemed to be too many people, and the room prices and prices would also increase a lot.

By China-TravelNote users |

China Snow Valley is pretty good. You can take a few buses from Harbin to the Snow Valley, or you can take a chartered car from Central Street to the Snow Valley. Accommodation is 100-150 per kang, which can sleep about 5 people. The accommodation is very affordable. On average, you can stay for 20-30 yuan per person per night. Breakfast is also included. During the day, the boss took us skiing. He accompanied us all day and took photos and videos for us. You can play as long as you want for 100 yuan. The boss also helped us call a car back to Harbin.

By China-TravelNote users |

The Snow Valley cannot be described with words like absolutely gorgeous, so pretty, etc.

I have seen this before, saying that Snow Town is somewhat commercialized, while the scenery in Snow Valley is more orthodox now.

But in my opinion, there are indeed two styles of snow scenes, and each place is worth my lingering.

Everything on the road is so natural and beautiful.

There are also many entertainment activities in Xuegu.

By Beijing Outdoor Hiking |

Our group of 50 people set out from Changchun to Snow Town. Snow Valley was the first stop before Snow Town, and then we hiked from Snow Valley to Snow Town.

Snow Valley is not as crowded as Snow Town, and the commercial atmosphere is not that serious. It is still worth visiting.



Farmhouses in Xuexiang are either very expensive or have poor conditions, while farmhouses in Xuegu are located in Xuexiang and are not only cheap but also relatively better.

If you are not prepared for hiking, there are many supermarkets on the roadside of the Snow Valley where you can buy clothes, shoes, snow sets, crampons, etc. It is recommended to buy a small ski board for use when going down the mountain.



Snow Valley does not charge admission if you only stay overnight. If you want to hike to Snow Town, you need to buy a 40 yuan ticket to Snow Valley. Of course, you need to buy a 115 yuan + 5 yuan (bus, optional) ticket to Snow Town after arriving at Yangcao Mountain. You need cash to buy tickets to Snow Valley. You can scan the code to buy tickets to Snow Town at the top of Yangcao Mountain, but the signal is not good. Although you can scan, it is recommended to bring cash. The tourist service center at the top of the mountain has hot water and a small supermarket, and the supermarket prices are slightly expensive.



If you only look at the scenic area and night view, Snow Valley is not as beautiful as Snow Town. But the route from Snow Valley to Snow Town is the best, the scenery along the way is beautiful, very beautiful, and worth going.



I would like to recommend the Xuegu Chunsheng Inn where we stayed this time. The owner and his family are very nice. We booked the room in advance, and not only did we not overcharge, but we also did not charge extra for making dumplings. My teammates poured water and boiled one pot after another, and the owner did not say anything. The most important thing is that their food is very delicious. I won’t talk about dinner. There are 10 people at a table, and we are full just by eating vegetables. The taste is very good. What surprised me most is that the owner even copied two dishes for breakfast. For me who has eaten all the pickled vegetables, steamed buns and egg group meals in farmhouses around Beijing, this is beyond my expectation. Finally, the owner’s son sent us to the entrance of the Snow Valley. The group photo was taken by the owner~ If I go to the Snow Valley next time, I will still choose to stay at his house.

By Fighting wild animals at Beita Mountain |

The scenery of Snow Valley is pretty good, but not as fantastic as Snow Town. I recommend the route from Snow Valley to Snow Town. The scenery is the most primitive and the best. Snow Town is dreamy, Snow Valley is simple, and the crossing is shocking. The people in Snow Valley are quite down-to-earth. The room rate is generally around 120 yuan, and it will increase during holidays. The food is not expensive and the fun is also good. There is a ski resort whose name I forgot. There are many activities. I had a lot of fun. I would like to recommend the inn where I stayed, Xiangsi Snow Valley Inn. The owner is very enthusiastic.

By So-so |

There was a lot of snow and the scenery was beautiful. I had a lot of fun at the playground in the Snow Valley. I could ski on the snow and ride bicycles on ice. I fell countless times but finally learned how to ski. The hotel was also good. I recommend the Acacia Snow Valley Inn. The owner was nice and the location was good. It was very convenient to go through. The barbecue was a little expensive, probably because of the price increase of meat this year, but it tasted good.

The itinerary in Snow Valley was well arranged by the inn owner, Mr. Hou. Mr. Hou and his wife are very nice. It is a good choice for us to take our children to eat Northeastern cuisine. In addition, Mr. Hou's family has their own ice rink, which we can play for free during our stay. The environment is also good.

The horse carriage cost 100 yuan/person, and the snowmobile cost 150 yuan/person, the same price for adults and children; the entrance ticket to the mountain was 40 yuan/person, and children paid half price. After crossing Yangcao Mountain, you will reach the Snow Village, and the entrance ticket to the Snow Village is 120 yuan/person.

[Baby trap]

Don't worry about children getting cold in snowy places. As long as they like to play, they are more adaptable than us. We took photos and played in the snow along the way. At noon, we returned to the inn. My son ate half a pound of dumplings and a big bowl of noodles. After lunch, we went to Houjia Ice Rink to play. He was so energetic.

What's fun in Snow Valley?

Xuegu is a small primitive village with a forest farm called Dongsheng Forest Farm where you can hike, ride go-karts, sightseeing cars, and horse sleighs to enjoy and photograph the primitive beauty. There are many projects in Xuegu Amusement Park, where you can indulge in the sounds and colors in this world of ice and snow. The snow in the Northeast is unrestrained and has its own personality.

By Love whoever |

It's the annual winter travel plan again. When I was looking through the guide, I thought of the winter trip in 2018, which left a deep impression on me~ Northeast China! My dream city, I like Harbin, I like the small village of Xuegu, the air is good, the culture is good, Xuegu accommodation "Hou Huailin Family Hotel", a good business, the boss is honest, the inn is clean and bright, and I trust it sincerely. I bought wild Ganoderma lucidum for my grandmother at the boss's house, but I didn't bring it with me, so I asked the boss to express it back for me. The boss enthusiastically helped me grind it into powder and mail it! In short, this trip left a deep memory of his home. I suggest that friends who go to Xuegu can stay at his home! It's really good.

There are also frozen fruits to eat after dinner.

【journey】

DAY 1 Harbin ~ Snow Valley (stay at Snow Valley)

We set off from Harbin early in the morning. There was nothing to see at first, but we finally saw the fairy-tale snow scene after getting off the highway. For us, we have only seen snow a few times in our lives. The car arrived at the Snow Valley around 12 o'clock. We put on some makeup to take beautiful photos, but when we exhaled, the steam all stuck to our eyelashes, and the makeup was smudged like a silly roe deer. The hat and the scarf were all frozen. Although the makeup was smudged, it couldn't stop the conceited heart at all! The photos taken did not need post-production at all. After lunch at the inn, the boss contacted the ski resort (car pick-up and drop-off), 100 per person, unlimited time, very complete projects, recommended to experience in the Snow Valley.

DAY 2 Snow Valley~Snow Village (stay in Snow Village)

It was an extraordinary day. We asked the driver to take the luggage to Xuexiang. We traveled light and brought some food to replenish energy. We stopped and walked along the way and successfully arrived at Xuexiang in 6 hours. (It is recommended to prepare crampons for hiking, which saves a lot of effort). I experienced too much on this road today. The scenery on the road was beautiful. It was worth the trip. I thought for a long time and wanted to express my feelings and feelings about crossing. I will leave this suspense to you later. If you say it all, you will not feel fresh. Finally, I say that crossing is worth it. You must cross once when you come to Xuegu! I have seen it before. Xuexiang is commercialized and the scenery of Xuegu is pristine. In my opinion, there are indeed two styles of snow scenery, and every place is worth my lingering.

DAY 3 Snow Village-Rime Island (Cebu Rime Island)

As one of the four wonders, rime is not something you can see whenever you want. Rime Island is located in the center of the Songhua River. There are two ways to get to the island: one is to walk on the iron bridge, and the other is to take a boat. Since the rime was not particularly large that day, we did not go to the island, but the rime on both sides was also very beautiful.

DAY 4 Wusong Island ~ Harbin (stay in Harbin)

If you don't go to Harbin Ice and Snow World, you haven't been to Northeast China. I also went to Saint Sophia Cathedral. Both places are worth visiting, very spectacular and beautiful.

The trip is over, it's unforgettable!

By Axun wants to see the world |

How to get to Xuegu from Harbin? It takes 4-5 hours to get to Xuegu. There are buses, but it is very troublesome to reverse. The best way is to follow the motorcade. This is a popular route. There is a special motorcade from Harbin to Xuegu or Xuexiang every day. Just book a seat, no need to charter or share a car. The motorcade can also deliver directly to the door of the reserved hotel. All the hostels in Harbin have connections with the motorcade, so it is very convenient.

At that time, the Snow Valley was completely free of the commercialization of the Snow Town. To put it nicely, the people were honest and the prices were favorable. To put it bluntly, the service awareness was not high and the infrastructure was poor. The driver we arranged made us wait for more than an hour before picking us up. The place was just a small snow slope developed by the village itself. The venue was not large and only had a few activities such as snow tubing, skating and skiing, which were very simple.

By Travel Expert |

I want to travel here every winter. The ice and snow world is so beautiful.

By Travel expert Meng Nan |

The sky is full of snow, as if in a fairy tale world, very beautiful

By Xiaobao (Guangzhou) |

The consumption is transparent. There is no such thing as ripping off tourists as reported in the news. Due to geographical conditions, the prices are 10 to 20 yuan more expensive than outside, which is acceptable. After all, it is understandable as a tourist attraction.

By Know Autumn |

We went too late and it got dark soon. There was just as much snow, but not as conspicuous as in Snow Town!

By xiaopao275 |

I went to Xuegu in a year when there was not much snow. It felt no different from ordinary towns in Northeast China, with inns and restaurants everywhere. What is really interesting is that Xuegu is the starting point, and the 15-kilometer forest and snow mountain road to Xuexiang is

By Orangutan fangirl ✨ |

It feels more beautiful than Xuexiang, satisfying my fantasy of snow

By Mu Qianqian |

It's just an ordinary commercial street. The dream home inside is just a yard with a few wooden piles covered with snow. It may look better in the photo, but it's nothing special in reality! There are all kinds of colorful lights inside, and you need to spend 150 yuan to watch the Errenzhuan. However, I went with a group tour, which is all-inclusive.

By Avery |

If you want to see snow in China, go to Longjiang. If you want to see snow in Longjiang, go to Xuexiang!

By Qingqing Xiaohe Pig Sister |

We went on a snowy crossing, a seven-kilometer round trip, and truly experienced the feeling of a sea of snow and forest. The whole way was covered with snow and the mountains were hidden. It was the first time we saw such a beautiful snow scene, and we were so excited and happy that we even forgot the cold.

By Bai Xiaobai |

A great place, with few people, beautiful scenery, and no development. It is still in its original ecological state. It is separated from Xuexiang by a mountain. Although it is not as famous as Xuexiang, the scenery is really not worse than Xuexiang.

By My name is Spinach |

Snow Valley is a peaceful place and a beautiful way to get to Snow Town without taking the highway.

By Looking at the stars~ |

I came to Xuegu with my boyfriend. I really like the blue sky and white clouds here. The air is very good. The service of Youjia Inn is also very good. Although it is a bit cold outside, it is very warm in the room. The dishes cooked by the aunt are super good. Recommended!

By w332383 |

2018.12.8 It is a pity that there is no snow in Snow Valley. After all, people from the south come here to see the snow. But if you are not happy after coming out, there is no need to go. Playing is all about mood, so just take a look! I will go to the artificial ski resort to see the fake snow. The innkeeper said that the first snow fell in Snow Valley in October this year, and there was still snow in November. The snow was washed away by a heavy rain a few days ago, so friends who want to come should call a few days in advance to say hello, don't be as regretful as I was.

By Travel A Zhen |

It is a very simple small village. The villagers are very welcoming. It is a resting place after crossing Yangcao Mountain to the end of Snow Village. The place for sightseeing is very affordable. The village is small but very simple!

By Luanqi didn't run around |

The snow valley is beautiful and you can see rime, but the transportation is inconvenient

By Klam |

Snow Valley and Snow Town are separated by a sheep grass mountain. The 15-kilometer hike from Snow Valley to Snow Town made my eyelashes freeze. I have seen many hikers who have been to Snow Valley and Snow Town prefer Snow Valley. Snow Valley, which has not yet been deeply commercialized, is more simple and original.

By China-TravelNote users |

Xuegu is a place with the atmosphere of a rural area in Northeast China. Compared with Xuexiang, it is not as commercialized. The natural scenery is beautiful. The scenery on the way through Xuegu and Xuexiang is also beautiful. It is one of the favorite scenery of many southern tourists and photography enthusiasts. It is worth a visit.

By Don't lose your way |

"China Snow Valley" is located on the same mountain as the famous "China Snow Village". The Snow Village is on the sunny slope and the Snow Valley is on the back slope. The average snow depth in winter is 1-3 meters. The snow season can last up to 7 months.

The tourist route is from Harbin to Dongsheng, which takes about 5 hours. You will have lunch in Wuchang on the way and arrive at Dongsheng Forest Farm in the afternoon. You can walk around, touch the ice and snow in person, and visit the local recreational projects. After dinner, you can buy fireworks in a group and have a romantic bonfire party. Except for the ski resort, Dongsheng has all the recreational projects. You can play in Dongsheng for 2 days. There is no commercial atmosphere, and it is pure ice and snow. You can also hike from Dongsheng Snow Valley to Snow Village-Jingbo Lake-Changbai Mountain-Jilin Rime on the second day. It is about 15 kilometers from Snow Valley to Snow Village, with an ascent of 800 meters, and the highest point-Yellow Grass Mountain, which is 1,200 meters above sea level and covers an area of more than 200 hectares. It takes 4 hours to walk normally. Watching the sunrise and sunset here is the best choice for every tourist and photography enthusiast.

By Dust |

It's worth a visit, you can't experience it in the south

By Daisy-Small Fresh |

This is a relatively primitive place, not as commercialized as Snow Town. Accommodation and meals are very cheap. You can hike to Snow Town here. The scenery along the way is beautiful. You can also experience snowmobiling when going down the mountain. It is very exciting and cool!

By Beads |

Away from the hustle and bustle, very quiet place, easy to walk to the snow town, convenient for food and accommodation

By Light and Shadow |

Although not as famous and standardized as Xuexiang, it is more beautiful and simple.

By Super Jing Jing Jing ✨ |

Snow Valley is a quiet little village with tourism-related supporting facilities. It is not as fully commercialized as Snow Town. The thickness of the snow is relatively less than that of Snow Town, but it is also beautiful. There are also some amusement facilities for tourists to enjoy. Many people will go from Snow Valley to Snow Town through Yangcao Mountain or vice versa.

By mosquito |

There wasn't much snow in Harbin in the first two days. It was only when I arrived at the Snow Valley that I really felt the joy of seeing snow. The snowy scenery was everywhere, and there was even a light snow that day.

In the afternoon, we went to the small playground next to the inn and played snowmobiles, go-karts, and snow rings for 200 yuan per person. Because it was cold, we played for a while and then ran back to the house to keep warm, and then ran out to play again, and played until we got tired of it. In the evening, after dinner at the inn, we watched Errenzhuan, but because it was all about vulgar and hooligan things, we didn't want to watch it, but we felt that it was a waste of money if we didn't watch it.

By cat. |

We had fun in the snow and took all kinds of photos. However, the prices in the scenic area were too expensive, so we ordered very little, but the taste was good.

By palace |

There are two large amusement parks in Xuegu. The one near Xuegu Crossing has a better terrain. It costs 100 yuan to play freely, and there are about 10 projects. Xuegu Crossing Snow Village is the most fun, and you really need to wear it.

By Double Wood |

Snow Valley and Snow Town are actually the same, one street with family hotels on both sides. Snow Valley and Snow Town are separated by a Yangcao Mountain, but Snow Valley is not as famous as Snow Town. Basically, people who go to Snow Valley have to cross to Snow Town. In fact, compared to Snow Town, I still recommend Snow Valley, although the snow is not that thick, but there are not so many people.

By The crab is peeling my shell |

It was so hot that I was dying when I was sleeping. Can you believe it? The scenery is average. I think it is not as fun as the Snow Valley.

By Jenni Jing |

Snow Valley is a small village, not very big. The white snow here is very different from that in the city. It is there naturally, relatively unattended, but it seems even more quiet and peaceful, like a sleeping child, with a sense of seclusion and tranquility. It was past five in the afternoon and it was completely dark.

By Ogawa |

China's snow town is a fairy tale world.

By A little DE story |

I have a good impression of Xuegu.

This time I signed up for a tour to Snow Village on China-TravelNote. The inns we stayed in were all in good condition, and the cost of entertainment activities in the Snow Valley was also included in the tour fee.

My favorite thing to do in the snow valley is the snow ring, which is very exciting. But after sliding down, you have to drag the snow ring up by yourself, which is tiring. However, it is reasonable, haha~~~

By Zhao Lei's cute little |

If you haven’t been to Snow Town, you won’t know. I’ve been to Snow Valley for two days and I still want to go there!

By Abin's Journey |

Compared with the commercialized Xuexiang, Xuegu is a better choice. Original ecological landscape, simple Northeastern people. If you go to Xuexiang, you must play the Xuegu crossing. The journey is very beautiful and the experience is excellent.

By Xie Xie |

In order to take our pet Husky to see the snow, the whole family drove there. We expected the conditions there to be too good, but we didn't expect the road to be difficult to drive on. We didn't change to snow tires. It was around six o'clock when we arrived, but it was relatively smooth. There was a lot of snow in the Snow Valley and the pet was very happy. We stayed in a triple room for 600, including dinner and breakfast. I have to say that the food was delicious and worth 200. The eldest sister was very enthusiastic, which shows that the people here are simple and honest. The way back was a bit bad. The car slipped into the ditch twice. The first time, my four-wheel drive Vitara was powerful and got out by itself. The second time we fell in, it cost a thousand yuan for rescue to get us out. The main reason was that there were too many cars passing by, and we kept making mistakes and it was especially easy to slip. My car didn't have snow tires. Thinking about it now, I was too bold. But I also think it was very strange. The villagers' rescue vehicle came in time, and later I found out that they all knew the passing vehicles. It seemed that they always deliberately squeezed the car into the ditch on the road, otherwise why would they pull an empty car back and forth on such a narrow road? So I spent money to avoid disaster. I didn't think the scenery was very good, but I felt that the snow was really heavy. If the local government could develop it well, it would be a nice place, and my furry kids would be happy if they could have a good time there!

Compared to the highly commercialized Snow Town, I prefer the original Snow Valley. I especially recommend Wuchang Snow Valley Villa. The owner is enthusiastic, the inn is clean, tidy and warm. We southerners are not used to Northeastern cuisine, so the owner killed a chicken as required, washed it, and cut it into pieces for us to cook ourselves. What a delicious chicken soup!

By Jing |

The snow was white, and I finally stepped on deep snow. There was a smell of "coal slag" in the air. I had fun playing in the snow. When I lay down in the snow and stood up, the snow water rushed into my neck. My face was red from the cold, and my toes were numb from the cold.

By yyqzhou |

I highly recommend it. Snow Valley is not like Snow Town. Snow Town has a lot of people because of the publicity in recent years. On the contrary, Snow Valley is not well-known and has few tourists. Here you can experience the tranquility of the snow, the simplicity of the Northeast countryside, and the beauty of the natural scenery. The supporting software may not be perfect, but it is more primitive. There are also small ski resorts, forest farms, snow mountains, and snow valleys.

By Wan Junyan-Awan |

Going to the Snow Valley basically means hiking. Because basically everyone starts from the Snow Valley and hikes to Yangcao Mountain. Then go to the Snow Village. The Snow Valley is not big, you can play in the snow here, and make dumplings together at night.

By High speed jeep |

Snow Valley is simple and pure, like a paradise. In today's large-scale development and commercialization of Snow Village, it is even more precious that most local farmhouse operators in Snow Valley can maintain this kindness and simplicity. Snow Valley itself is not like Snow Village, where tickets are sold in a circle, and it is impossible to define an accurate range. Snow Valley is about 80 kilometers away from Snow Village, but it is all mountain roads, and it takes at least two and a half hours to drive. The back mountain of many farmhouses in Snow Valley is a natural playground, enough for everyone to play for a whole day. Of course, the most beautiful scenery here is still on the road from Snow Valley to Snow Village. Don't miss it if time, energy and body allow.

The snow was really thick, the accommodation conditions were really not good, and there were sporadic people setting off fireworks at night

The Snow Valley is very quiet, with few people and not too commercial. The owner of the inn is very friendly. In short, it is great.

I like the Snow Valley, the people are simple and honest, everyone is warm and hospitable. Although it is also a resort commercial area, but at least you don't have to kill people when playing, and everything is good for eating~~~Highly recommended~~~I had a lot of fun!

The scenery is so beautiful. But the locals are working hard to make money. The horses are almost dead, but they still work hard. In this day and age, as long as you have money, you can get by. I just hope that the Snow Valley Scenic Area will increase the ticket fee a little bit, and invest the extra income in environmental protection. The garbage left by tourists has ruined this road.

Snow Valley is a small village with original ecology. The inn we stayed in was also good, with a good location and clean and warm rooms. We set off from Harbin and arrived at about 1 o'clock in the morning. We went out for a walk in the afternoon, and then went to the ski resort 🎿 to play for a while. It felt like 100 per person, but it was better to take pictures. After dinner, we ordered a two-person show, haha. This was very good and worthwhile. The three groups of actors each had their own unique skills, which made the audience laugh. In general, the trip to Snow Valley was relatively relaxed, comfortable and pleasant. At 8 o'clock the next morning, the boss sent us to the starting point of the hike and started to cross Yangcao Mountain to Xuexiang.

If time and physical strength permit, you must cross. It can be said that 95% of people cross from Snow Valley to Snow Town, which is called positive crossing. The advantage is that it is not so dangerous all the way up the mountain. After reaching the top of the mountain, you can take a snow drift to Snow Town. It takes about 5 hours to go up the mountain and 40 minutes to go down the mountain. We chose the reverse crossing from Snow Town to Snow Valley. The advantage is that if you want to see the sunrise, the distance to Yangcao Mountain is relatively close. And it is not as tiring as the positive crossing. The disadvantage is that the road down the mountain is slippery and dangerous. The reverse crossing takes 1 hour to go up the mountain and 4 hours to go down the mountain. But no matter how you cross, everyone must wear snow claws and snow sets. The scenery of the crossing is really beautiful.

It is not much developed and very original. The hotel accommodation is very cheap and reasonable. It has the characteristics of rural Northeast China and is the starting point for traveling through the Snow Country.

I wanted to go to Xuexiang before, but I started booking inns a week before departure. I found that a bed in Xuexiang costs hundreds of dollars, and there is no private bathroom. I couldn't accept it. Then I saw several guides saying that Xuegu is not bad and not too commercial, so I changed my plan to go to Xuegu. When I searched for Xuegu inns at the beginning, there were not many. I looked at the ones with high reviews, but many of them were fully booked. Fortunately, I finally booked one. The inn helped to contact carpooling. Because it was the peak season, the carpooling was a bus. The bus took us to the door of the inn. The store owner had been waiting at the door for a long time and helped to pull the luggage. It was quite enthusiastic. Seeing the white all around, I was really excited. I had never seen so much snow. On the first day, I lost the cup in the car. I tossed it for a long time but still couldn't find it back. I wasted more than an hour. Now I think it's really a waste of time! Because it gets dark early in the winter in the Northeast, it starts to get dark after three o'clock, so you must hurry up to play and see the scenery! We took a horse-drawn carriage and walked around the village. The village was very primitive, the snow was very thick, and the scenery was very beautiful. I didn't regret choosing Snow Valley. There were few commercial traces. There was a small ski resort at the entrance of the village. There were all kinds of snow activities except skiing. There were not many people. Anyway, I took a walk and left because I didn't like this kind of activity. There seemed to be a free bonfire party and a paid Errenzhuan in the village at night. I would not appreciate Errenzhuan. In addition, I took a car for more than five hours and went to bed early at night. The next day, I went to the mountain behind the inn to play. The scenery there was really beautiful! Any shot was a scenery! There was also free snow drifting to play. The snow was very thick. I was rolling on the snow. It was fun. Unfortunately, due to time reasons, I had to go back at noon. It is recommended to go for three days so that I can have enough fun. In addition to being able to cross to the snow village, there is also a small crossing, which takes about three hours. I heard that the scenery of the mountains and rivers is also good. I didn't go because I was with my mother and didn't have enough time. I still want to come again if I have a chance! I really recommend everyone to come to Snow Valley! Finally, I read everyone's comments and realized that I originally wanted to go to Dongsheng Forest Farm, but I booked Changqing Forest Farm, but it was all snow valley. And everyone thought Changqing Forest Farm was more primitive, haha, this is exactly what I want, isn't this a wrong move?

Dongsheng Forest Farm is Snow Valley, separated from Snow Town by a mountain. It is not as popular as Snow Town, but it is not as commercialized as Snow Town.

I had heard more about Snow Town in the past, so originally Snow Valley was just a destination to reach from Snow Town through Yangcao Mountain. Unexpectedly, the simple and natural scenery of Snow Valley fascinated me even more. Whether it is the ice amusement park in the village or the ski resort not far away, it is enough for adults and children to have fun.

I went there with my friends. It was not as commercial as the Snow Village, and there were not many fun places. We stayed at Aunt Zhang's house that night. Aunt Zhang's family was very nice and would help us solve any problems. We met a young couple here. The girl was very cute and wrote us a Christmas card. The next day, we took a horse-drawn trek and a snowmobile and hiked to the top of Yangcao Mountain. We arrived early, there were few people, and the rime was beautiful. Walking down the mountain is the Snow Village.

It snowed heavily all night when we arrived at the Snow Valley. It was so beautiful. When I opened the door in the morning, I was mesmerized by the beautiful scenery in front of me. The whiteness was dazzling. Some places were thick, some places were thin, and it was continuous and beautiful. The boss said that the snow was heavier tonight. I felt so lucky.

Xuegu is divided into Xuegu Dongsheng and Xuegu Changqing. I checked a lot of guides before coming here. Xuegu Dongsheng is the real Chinese Xuegu scenic area, close to the intersection of the snow village. I came here with the help of the inn owner to share a car. I passed Xuegu Changqing on the way, and Xuegu Dongsheng is still some distance away. In addition, I have to recommend the inn I stayed in this time. It is really a conscientious business. Food and accommodation are included. It is very cheap, and the environment is bright and clean. The food is all Northeastern specialties (speaking of this, I have to say that Northeastern people are honest and have a large amount of food), and you can also play on his ice rink for free (I like snow circles). I had a lot of questions when booking, and they were all patiently answered one by one, which made me feel warm in my heart.

China Snow Valley, also known as Dongsheng Forest Farm, is a must-go place when traveling through the Snow Country. It is a beautiful, quiet and simple village with blue sky and white snow. You can experience the scenery of nature. The people here are also warm, which is something that we southerners cannot experience. We stayed at Qianliyuan Family Hotel. The owner, Brother Gong, and his family were very warm. The rooms were clean and all had independent bathrooms. The food was also delicious and the price was not expensive. I will come again in the future. If you have friends who want to come, you can contact 15945025082 on WeChat.

I would like to recommend the Snow Valley Kuolan Hall Inn. It is great. After getting off the plane in Harbin, you can take the airport bus directly to the vicinity of Central Street and then take a taxi to the hotel. It is recommended to stay in the hotel closest to Central Street in Harbin. It is much more convenient to go out in the evening without having to walk far. However, it is very laborious to take a taxi here and you have to wait for a long time. The next day, the Snow Valley Kuolan Hall Inn found a local carpool (an old driver who has been driving on ice and snow roads for many years and has zero accidents in a few years) and waited for us downstairs of the hotel on time. We set off at 6 o'clock in the morning and arrived at 10:30 in the afternoon. You can stop and take pictures on the way. The driver is also great. They have a lot of fun. The important thing is that they are all free. You can play at any time. There are snow circles and snow drifts. The door is Shimen Mountain where you can see the ice waterfall. It is a beautiful place to take pictures. However, the most beautiful thing here is Xuesongling. As long as it is sunny and there is no fog, you can look at the highest mountain in Heilongjiang (Datuding Mountain) at a close distance. There is still snow in July. Finally, I would like to thank the family of the Snow Valley Kuolan Hall Inn for their warm hospitality. A good inn worth staying in when visiting the Snow Valley

I was so excited when I came to Northeast China that I told my mother that I would marry someone from Northeast China in the future. My mother was very happy. Snow Valley is so beautiful, with clean snow and pollution-free air. By the way, the inn we stayed in this time was also very good, Zhao Jie’s Traveler Inn in Snow Valley. Zhao Jie must have been very beautiful when she was young. Below is a photo of me and Zhao Jie. She is very enthusiastic and the food is very delicious. In short, this trip to Northeast China is very good.

By Our time |

Beautiful northern scenery, simple folk customs - Snow Valley (Dongsheng Forest Farm) is a world of ice and snow that is worth visiting. Our small group of six learned a lot from planning to departure, and finally chose Zhao Jie's Traveler Station. I am very grateful for the help of Sister Zhao, from chartering a car to accommodation, from three meals to sightseeing, she always took care of us, and we didn't spend a penny in vain. Thank you Sister Zhao for your warm hospitality and the beautiful northern scenery!

I was full of longing for Snow Valley before I arrived; I was not disappointed after I arrived. I like this secluded place. Compared with the commercialized Snow Village, I prefer the simplicity here; I have to praise the merchants here. I booked the accommodation and car for Snow Valley and Snow Village in early December. I also checked many merchants on the Internet and chose Master Hou's Family Inn after seeing the online reviews. It has been negotiated that the car from Snow Village to Harbin is 150/person.

China Snow Valley is also called Dongsheng Forest Farm. It is the starting point of the crossing, a primitive mountain village. The prices are affordable, and you can stay for two more days if you have more time. We stayed at Xiao Ma's home in Snow Valley for two days. It was really nice. It provides a one-stop service of carpooling, accommodation and meals. I will come again if I have the chance.

For a southerner, this trip to Northeast China left a deep impression on me. I am a person who rarely writes reviews. I have come into contact with all kinds of people in the city. When I came to this small village, I felt the relaxation of my soul and the integration with the snow. I really like the ice and snow here. I felt the enthusiasm of the Northeast people on this trip. Our group of 17 people stayed in the Xuegu Houjia Inn; after dinner, everyone made dumplings together. The boss and his wife were about the same age as my parents. They took us to make dumplings together. It was lively and lively, like a big family celebrating the Spring Festival. I recommend this inn to everyone. It is very helpful for us to save money and have fun.

China Snow Valley was originally named Dongsheng Forest Farm. It is a small village with beautiful scenery. Compared with Xuexiang, it is not so commercialized and has many things to do. It is also cheaper than Xuexiang. However, the scenery on the way through Xuexiang is breathtaking. We stayed at Qianliyuan Family Hotel in Xuegu. The owner is friendly, the room is clean, the food and accommodation are not expensive.

I have been thinking about going to the Northeast to see snow. I have done a lot of research and hesitated for a long time between Mohe and Xuexiang. Finally, I made up my mind to go to Xuexiang Film and Television Base. I went from Harbin-Xuegu-Xuexiang-Harbin. Due to time constraints, I only went to these two places. Xuegu is simple and Xuexiang is commercial. The owner of the inn helped me with my entire trip, from the car to the food and accommodation. I was very satisfied and the price was low.

China Snow Valley is also called Dongsheng Snow Valley. It is a primitive small mountain village with affordable prices. It is a good tourist destination for us students. We stayed at Xiaoma's house. He was responsible for helping with carpooling. He was very enthusiastic. If you have the chance, come to Snow Valley again.

There are many travel agencies on Central Street. The tour fee is very cheap. It costs 88 to go to Yabuli and 158 to go to Xuexiang. There is a 20% discount plus insurance of 10, a total of 206. I feel that this is a routine. After signing up for the tour, there are many self-funded expenses. Going to Yabuli, renting snow goggles and snow clothes costs 180, and there are a few items that I forgot what they are called, which add up to 900. If you don't sign up for the items, you will have to look at the guide's face on the spot and say some very unpleasant words. You know this. After getting on the bus to Xuexiang, the guide will ask you to sign up for the self-funded items. There are two packages. Package A is 1580 and Package B is 1880, which is to watch Errenzhuan and the like. If you go to sign up for a tour, be prepared mentally and prepare money. I hope this information can help everyone

The snow is very thick, and it is easy to sink into the snow where no one has walked. If you are alone, it is not recommended to walk on the road that has not been walked. When you step down, half of your leg will be in. The key is that you have not reached the bottom. You can lie on the snow and look at the blue sky and white clouds. There is no pollution and the air environment is very good.

Not bad, really good, five-star praise, awesome... I will go there again if I have the chance. I like winter very much, it seems like I have found my Garden of Eden. White snow, crystal ice flowers. That white, that clear. The pure world of ice and snow is beautiful, really beautiful, beautiful beyond words... Being in the ice and snow, experiencing the collision of passion and ice and snow, the stimulation of cold and heat, that feeling is simply beautiful. Skating, smoking ice, riding ice carts, skiing, riding snow floats and snow rings. Three or five friends are crazy, playing, making noise and having fun together. At night, bring a few bottles of small beer and play a few rounds of small mahjong. Feel the comfort and chic of blowing against the bottle with a luminous cup of grape wine, rubbing mahjong, and holding a small cigarette, it's beautiful... Turn off your mobile phone and play there for three, five or seven days, you will feel that you have unloaded a year of fatigue and thrown away a year of troubles. Forget about the hustle and bustle of the city, forget about your workplace intrigues... And the living environment is also great. The owner and the lady boss of the Hou Huailin Family Hotel where we stayed were very nice. The house was very clean and tidy, and it was no less than the hotels outside. There was no dirt on the sink and toilet, unlike some places where there was a thick layer of dirt... The food tasted good, too. I get upset easily, especially when I eat outside. But I didn't get upset here. The Hou family is also very nice. The first time we went there, we didn't know how to play, so they told us where to go first, where to go next, and what to pay attention to when playing. They were very, very enthusiastic. In short, it's great, very great; great, very great. I will go again... Here are a few photos to see my favorite beauty of ice and snow...
