Complete Guide to the Northeast Secret Realm Park

Winter in the Northeast is simply synonymous with a kingdom of ice and snow❄️. This time, I’m sharing a lesser-known route in the Northeast where you can enjoy the forest oxygen bar and capture Instagram-worthy shots!

Breathing the purest air at Wuying National Forest Park is absolutely amazing, with birch and red pine forests as far as the eye can see. Every snap is a forest-themed masterpiece🌲. Remember to wear light-colored clothes—they match the snowy scenery perfectly~ Friendly reminder: the signal is weak deep inside the forest park, so it’s best to download offline maps in advance!

Then, a 40-minute drive will take you to Tangwang River Stone Forest, where the unique landforms will definitely leave you in awe🏔️. It’s recommended to visit between 3-4 PM when the slanting sunlight creates stunning light and shadow effects on the snow! The stone forest can be slippery, so be sure to wear non-slip shoes.

Travel Tips:
✈️ It’s best to fly to Yichun Lindu Airport first, then rent a car for the most convenient self-driving experience
🚌 You can also take a bus from Harbin to Yichun and then hire a car

Food Recommendations:
✓ Don’t miss the wild vegetable buns in Wuying
✓ The iron pot stew near Tangwang River is incredibly delicious
✓ Be sure to have a cup of steaming hot pine nut milk tea
