Arxan Winter Travel Checklist, Limited-Time Ice and Snow Fairy Tale Experience

From October to May each year, Arxan, deep in the Greater Khingan Mountains, transforms into an "ice and snow fairy tale" world: rime frost clings to branches, the unfrozen river steams with mist, the starry sky sparkles like diamonds, and hot springs emit a warm haze. 【National Forest Park: A Wonderland of Ice and Snow】 Step into the forest park at dawn, where rime frost coats the branches like sugar frosting. When sunlight filters through the trees, the snow glistens with golden specks, perfect for unfiltered photos. By the unfrozen river at minus 30°C, cattle and sheep drink leisurely amid swirling morning mist, and the footprints of squirrels and wild rabbits are clearly visible in the snow—perfect for families with children to start a "nature treasure hunt." 【Tourist Resort Area: A Dual Experience of Speed and Healing】 Arxan Ski Resort offers fluffy snow; beginner slopes are friendly for novices, while advanced slopes let you enjoy the thrill of speed. Snowmobiles, tanks, and other activities are great for photo ops. After playing, relax to the extreme at the China Hot Spring Museum’s 48 mineral spring pools, experiencing the "fire and ice" sensation. Then savor a bite of ice-cooked lamb hot pot—lamb slow-cooked in Arxan mineral water ice melt is tender and juicy. Northeastern delicacies like sauerkraut pork hot pot and Buluke buns are served in generous portions to warm your stomach and heart. From icy secret realms to hot spring cuisine, Arxan’s winter romance is ready—pack your bags and set off now!
