Great news! You can go play in the snow in Northeast China!
On the afternoon of November 23rd, the Heilongjiang Provincial Department of Culture and Tourism announced that the entire province of Heilongjiang has been upgraded to a low-risk area! The long-awaited Xuexiang, Changbai Mountain, Mohe, and other places have finally opened their arms to us!
With Christmas and New Year just around the corner, what are your plans for New Year's Eve? This time, China-TravelNote wants to guide everyone who wants to make a change to travel far away, to the land of ice and snow, and celebrate the New Year in the snow.
This winter, let’s take a sneak peek at Northeast China!
Some distant places will become more dazzling during the journey. It is the surprise of encountering reindeer in the woods in the Arctic Village at -25℃;
It is the vast snowy forests of Changbai Mountain, with a glimmer of sunset remaining in the pupils under the setting sun;
It is a fairytale snow town at night, with baskets of frozen pears and frozen persimmons on the snowy streets;
This time, we are ready to pack all these long-awaited distant places into your luggage.
Every year is unique. New Year's Eve is a moment full of ritual. Let China-TravelNote take you to the Chinese Snow Town in Northeast China, which is full of the New Year atmosphere. Go to the Snow Town and celebrate the New Year.
Take a stroll along the Snowy Street at night and immerse yourself in the New Year atmosphere of the Snow Town. In the morning, greet the first ray of sunshine of the New Year and face the morning glow. It’s a new year and a new journey, and we set off again!
"Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way", Christmas songs are ringing in the distance. On Christmas, we must go to a place where there is snow.
At the Mohe Christmas Village in China's Arctic, travelers say that Santa Claus is a certified Santa Claus from faraway Finland, who is just waiting for Christmas to come and send sincere holiday greetings to Chinese people of all ages.
Winter in the north is a festive carnival of red and snow. Red lanterns, warm beds, and the hearty laughter of Northeastern families transform the monotonous cold into the warmth of human habitation.
We will take you to wear flowery jackets, make dumplings, sleep on a big kang, and experience the feeling of being a "man" and a "girl" in Northeast China.
There is also a special arrangement for the "Northeast Errenzhuan" performance. As a folk art in the north that is appreciated by both the elite and the masses, Errenzhuan has always been loved by everyone, allowing you to enjoy it to your heart's content all at once.
The new year is coming, and we will take you to the top of Changbai Mountain. The quiet blue Tianchi Lake is covered by the vast pure white, adding a touch of dreamy and mysterious color.
Even the sharpest winds during the day couldn't stop our desire to soak in the hot springs at night. When the world was covered in a blanket of white snowflakes, we snuggled in the 40°C hot springs in the snow. Even though our hair and eyelashes were covered in rime, our bodies remained warm.
This night, celebrating the New Year in hot springs with temperatures ranging from -30℃ to 40℃ will surely become an unforgettable memory.
The most beautiful snow season in Northeast China is about to arrive, and the "winter-only" skiing sport has finally arrived, the annual return season.

Sliding across the thick snow, speeding down the slopes, riding the wind and snow, I hear the call of the snow. In this snowy season, China-TravelNote takes you to China's top ski resorts for a hearty skiing feast.
Vanke Songhua Lake Ski Resort, the venue for the 6th Winter Games; Yabuli Ski Resort, China's largest comprehensive ski resort; and Changbai Mountain Wanda Resort, located in the 41° North Latitude Golden Ski Resort Belt. A full range of beginner, intermediate, and advanced slopes are available. Gear up, tourists, and get ready to go!
When the must-do activities and attractions are already classic enough, we can't help but ask ourselves, with Northeast China being so vast, are there other lesser-known places? The answer is yes! There are, and they're worth exploring in depth.
This place seems to be the Snow Town 10 years ago, a primitive Northeastern village with a strong holiday atmosphere on festive days. Inside the house are warm kangs and freshly baked dumplings, outside the house are big red lanterns hanging high, and there are New Year's Eve fireworks deep in my childhood memories.
This is the largest alpine barrier lake in China, with clear and deep water.
When snow falls and the lake freezes, China-TravelNote takes you to the "Land of Blue Ice", where you can experience the lively winter fishing on the ice of China's "Lake Baikal Blue Ice".
"Watch the fog at night, the hanging flowers in the morning, and enjoy the falling flowers near noon"—this folk song truly captures Wusong Island. "Thick frost falls at night, and thousands of forests are covered in rime"—Wusong Island is a pure white wonderland in reality.

"The first recommended route for the New Year's Eve in ice and snow, a leisurely and festive journey"

This itinerary is sure to satisfy all your expectations.
"A popular light snow hiking trip, the choice of hiking enthusiasts"
From Xuexiang to Xuegu, you'll hike 14 kilometers through the snowy forests. Only when you truly step on the northern snow can you truly experience the charm of Northeast China's ice and snow. Of course, skiing, hot springs, and a summit of Changbai Mountain are also essential. This is sure to be a fantastic journey to conquer the snow.
"Exclusive accommodation, the perfect combination of exclusivity and travel"
Compared to the leisure version, the deluxe version includes accommodation and car rental for the entire trip, allowing you to fully experience the New Year's Eve in Snow Town, enjoy the Changbai Mountain Wanda International Resort all day, and take part in the thrilling Dew River rime rafting.
"Take the Snowpiercer to the North Pole of China"
This is a journey to "find the northernmost point," from Xuexiang to Mohe, exploring the wonderful north. It's also an itinerary where you can spend Christmas Eve in a Christmas village. The northernmost reaches of the border, the dreamlike Arctic, are a journey you must experience at least once in your lifetime.
"Folk customs + ice and snow sports + camp experience, focusing on parent-child study"
Designed specifically for families with children aged 5-14, this program covers everything from astronomy and geology to natural science, from folk customs to fun in the Snow Town, including skiing, hot springs, and parent-child hiking. You can also visit the Korean Folk Village, rafting on the Unfrozen River, and explore the secrets of Changbai Mountain. China-TravelNote parent-child instructors will guide you through the activities, providing a week of all-round parent-child interaction.
"Aiming to find wild aesthetics + nomadic lifestyle"
Journey through the snowy forests and climb to the summit of Changbai Mountain, ski at two ski resorts, and experience the flavors of the Northeastern New Year. Enjoy afternoon tea on the kang, savor magical frozen pears, make dumplings, cut paper-cuts, set off fireworks, and more. Break away from traditional activities and ride on a moving castle, finding a tranquil corner in the fairytale world of Northeast China's ice and snow.
