2118 has arrived. Harbin is a typical northeast city, and the climate here is bitter cold. The beautiful world of ice and snow and various snow scenes around it are commendable, especially attracting southern tourists to explore. Here are some tips and precautions for Harbin's free travel in 2118.
As an authentic northern child, I spent four years in college and one year after graduation in Xiamen and Southeast Asia, south of the South China. Every day, flowers are blooming, the sky is high and the sun is shining. Every winter, I feel envious when I see my circle of friends start to snow. I went back to Beijing for graduate study in 2116, but I didn't wait until 2118 for a decent snow, especially this year. It snowed in most of China, and Beijing is as sunny as ever. < P > Then, I must go to a real snow country in winter.
Unfortunately, just two days before my trip, news about traveling in Northeast China kept breaking out on the Internet. First, nine girls from Beijing Forestry University traveled together in a van on their way from Harbin to Xuexiang, causing extremely painful consequences, and then there was an article entitled "No matter how white the snow in Xuexiang is, it can't hide the pure black heart! Don't go to Snow Country again! The article denounces the tourism chaos in Heilongjiang, and the remarks of "sharpening the knife in 9 months and slaughtering the sheep in 3 months" are rampant. This makes me feel a little uneasy when I plan to travel alone, but it is certainly not my character to refund my ticket and stay in Beijing safely. In this way, I need a careful plan to avoid the problems of "being trapped" and "safety".
About safety:
1. Several students from Linda University go to Xuexiang by car, which is the preferred way for free travel in many cases, but! I was surrounded by black car drivers as soon as I came out of high-speed railway station, Harbin, and nobody cared! Considering the weather, a black car without insurance and license is still very unsafe.
2. It is said in the news that nine people choose to take a van. This is not beyond my knowledge, but it should be overloaded, right? Originally, the road was difficult to walk, and with overload, you can imagine how dangerous it is. Safety first, safety first, safety first at all times! I am a man who cherishes my life.
3. The hotel is booked in advance, which is basically done by everyone. However, if a girl travels alone or two or three people, it is recommended to set it on a relatively prosperous road section. It will be dark at 4 o'clock in the afternoon in winter in Northeast China, and it will be MINUS 31 degrees outside. There are not many people engaged in outdoor activities, so it is not safe to walk at night.
4. Don't trust the directions of roadside people. I chose an uncle with an armband of "Urban Management" to ask for directions, and he deliberately pointed me in the opposite direction. Fortunately, I tactfully started the navigation at the same time. My uncle's expression at that time was very embarrassed, saying that he was joking. My heart at that time was-
There is no doubt that he is a real urban management.
In the next few days, I also met fake staff in uniform, in fact, in order to promote travel supplies. With this experience, I decided not to ask for directions easily.
5. Despite the constant negative news on various trips, we don't have to give up eating because of choking. After all, even if we take the subway, we will meet people who jump off the subway, and we may be hit when we go out to buy food. No place is completely safe. If we stay at home forever, we will miss many opportunities to see the world.
so, the key is not to be afraid of danger, but to avoid it.
About "pit prevention":
1. Xuexiang probably didn't expect this year's hot search, but this time it didn't deliberately avoid Xuexiang, only arranged to pass by Xuexiang. It is suggested to arrive at two or three in the afternoon and leave at four or five in the afternoon, so that you can see Xuexiang in the daytime and Xuexiang with lights on at night, which is different in style. You don't need to buy anything, have lunch or dinner, or stay, thus avoiding the three links of "eating", "living" and "buying" that are most prone to pits. There is a tourist service center in Xuexiang Scenic Area, where there are seats for free rest and hot water, and there are vending machines selling hot drinks and snacks at reasonable prices. If you are too cold or tired and thirsty, you can go in and sit down and replenish your energy.
2. Pay special attention when going to the mountains. For example, Changbai Mountain is a scenic spot with a well-developed tourism industry, but there are still the "fake workers" I mentioned earlier in the lobby. There are not enough equipment to scare tourists, and they will freeze to death when going up the mountain, and their shoes will slide down the mountain. Then if you are afraid, you will rent their knee pads, coats and snow chains. However, you don't need to prepare these equipment in advance.
3. Prepare enough hot water! Free hot water will be provided in most places where I go, but there is no hot water in the whole scenic spot of Changbai Mountain, so I can't buy it. I can only ask for hot water by buying instant noodles, which is $11 a barrel under the mountain and $21 a barrel on the mountain. For me who won't eat a bowl of instant noodles for a year, I have finished this year's instant noodles
preparation before going
1, warm clothes or fleece clothes (necessary) and snow cover. Down jacket/cotton-padded jacket (essential), insulated kettle (essential), insulated hat (essential), windproof gloves (essential), underwear (optional), big backpack or suitcase (optional), waterproof hiking shoes or snow boots with wool insoles (high tops, it is recommended to wear them for a few days before departure), two or more pairs of thick cotton socks, warm knee pads (optional), and.
2. toiletries, photographic equipment, personal hygiene products, spare battery for camera, mobile power supply and enough camera memory cards;
3. High-calorie snacks (such as chocolate, beef jerky, butterscotch and ginger tea);
4. Warm treasure stickers (required). It is suggested that the amount of five tablets per day be used for sticking knees, soles and mobile phones (to reduce the power consumption and shutdown of mobile phones in extremely cold weather, and personal testing is effective);
5. Cold medicine (Banlangen or 999 is necessary to prevent catching a cold after blowing in the daytime), diarrhea medicine, frostbite cream, band-aid and other common medicines, and facial mask (necessary). You will thank me for applying a facial mask after blowing in the wind for a day.
In view of the extremely cold weather, it takes courage to apply a flaky facial mask, so it is recommended to apply a smeared facial mask
For example,
The moisturizing effect.
7. Short-sighted friends should wear contact lenses, otherwise, what you can't take off the mask is what you see all the time-
The earth is so clean
Well, after all this talk, you can finally leave happily!

Day1: Beijing-Harbin
I chose this high-speed train instead of flying there directly because I think.
I purposely chose a seat by the window. As the train went all the way north, the window gradually changed from bare yellow land to covered with snow, which became thicker and thicker. The temperature on the train showed from -4℃, -8℃, -11℃ to -21℃. Looking up from time to time, the scenery always changed, which was a magical experience. If you sit all the way from Guangzhou, you will feel that you have experienced four seasons, which is more interesting! There are waves of passengers around, and the northeast accent is getting heavier and heavier.
reading and listening to songs all the way, and heading for a place at MINUS 31 degrees. The music software of the mobile phone contains songs that have been heard since college. Chinese, English, French, Thai and Cantonese often encounter songs with stories. When you listen, you will remember the mood when a single once circulated it at a certain moment.
that feeling is wonderful.
when I was quietly listening to music and reading for the sixth hour, a group of chattering young people, with familiar Southeast Asian accents and Thais, asked me to borrow a pen, but finally they couldn't help it. Everyone who talked in my degraded Thai burst out laughing.
I have been busy with the so-called "business" at ordinary times, so it's hard to have a long time to read casual books. This time it's simply too extravagant.
They are-
Michio Hoshino's On a Long Journey
Keigo Higashino's The Dedication of Suspect X
Liu Yu's Send You a Bullet
arrived at Harbin Station after three o'clock in the afternoon, where the urban management uncle met, and then I decided to take the bus to the hotel.
It is worth noting that the bus stop sign at Harbin Railway Station is very inconspicuous, very small, and the bus bound for downtown is not beside the station. There is only car ferry, which leads to the airport and other railway stations free of charge. The bus bound for downtown has to turn a corner and walk a few hundred meters, which many passengers can't find for a while. Perhaps this is one of the reasons why black cars are rampant?
Anyway, as a senior road idiot, I successfully found it and arrived, Kaisen!
Harbin is a city that combines Chinese and Western cultures. It is known as the "Oriental Moscow". With the opening of the world of ice and snow, it is worth visiting the Central Street, Gogol Street, Sophia Cathedral, Stalin Park, Polar Museum and so on.
But just after getting off the warm high-speed train, I almost fell into icehouse, and after 8 hours, I was very tired. At about 4: 31, it was getting dark, and no one had much idea to stroll in the cold wind. I just passed by the cathedral and didn't have time to see other places in the city. However, after all, my trip was mainly for natural scenery, so I regret that I didn't eat Russian food and sausage.
Day2: Maoershan ski resort-Erlang River Xue Cun
The first thing to come to the northeast is to go skiing and snow!
what's the difference between ski resorts in northeast China and other places?
Perhaps the biggest difference is that you don't need funa. It's pure natural, pollution-free and has good snow quality.
We chose Maoershan Ski Resort, which is one of the two five-star ski resorts in Heilongjiang Province. The equipment is very professional and the configuration of the ski resort is very good. Perhaps it is because it is the teaching base of Harbin Institute of Physical Education, full of youthful atmosphere and the ski resort is very large. Even if there are many people, it will not be very crowded.
Needless to say, everything looks harmonious in the above picture
, but the truth is that snowboards, gloves and poles that are always clumsy fall endlessly
Two hours is enough for skiing, because you will be driven crazy by the process of dragging your heavy snowboard nose into ice
In short, this skiing has aroused my ambition to go back to Beijing and continue to hone my skills.
I took the bus to Xue Cun of Erlang River in the afternoon, which is highly recommended!
It's also a small village. Compared with Xuexiang, which has a bad reputation recently, it's not too commercialized, but you can also see houses like mushrooms covered with snow that has not changed for years.
And dogs
It is said that this is one of the coldest places in Heilongjiang, and splashing water into ice is not a dream at all.
Then the local people will watch a group of silly children from the south throw cups of boiling water into the sky, waiting for it to turn into ice and fall on themselves. They are extremely happy, and they don't know what they are thinking at this moment.
There are many homestays to choose from in Xue Cun, Erlang River. Don't be too conscientious compared with the price of Xuexiang!
We chose Doudou's house, and the host was very enthusiastic. We all packed jiaozi and ate dumplings together, which also put an end to the possibility of being cheated by sky-high prices.
At night, just two people live on the traditional four-person kang in Northeast China, and there will be no scene in Xuexiang where four people sleep on the kang and eight people become Datong shops, which is still expensive.
The name of my room is "Stewed Goose", which makes me laugh inexplicably. I laughed for a long time. In addition, you can think of "stewed chicken", "stewed cabbage" and "stewed tofu"
Go to sleep quietly.
good night.
Day3: Erlang River-hiking in the big bald Zishan-Xuexiang-Mudanjiang
This is my favorite day, and there is no one! !
Please invite Mother Du again:
Bald Mountain is located at 13km from Xuexiang, with its main peak at 1691m above sea level, which is the highest peak in Heilongjiang Province. It is said that the snow on the top of the mountain does not melt all the year round. Along the way, there is a virgin forest surrounded by rime. The top of the mountain is flat, and the vision is suddenly clear. There are almost no trees, all of which are low flowers and plants. It is a treasure house of alpine plants and a cradle of wild animals. The walking length is * * * ten kilometers.
Equipment:
Hot water, trekking poles, snow cover (moisture-proof and thermal insulation), and high-calorie snacks (energy supplement on the road)
Necessary:
A local guide
On October 11, the sky on the day of climbing was like being scrubbed by snow, blue and transparent, and the sky was covered with pure white snow fields and rime.
popular science classroom
rime, commonly known as tree hanging, is a very rare natural wonder, which is formed by the condensation of over-saturated water vapor in the air in the cold season.
rime is not ice or snow, but the result of countless water vapor below zero degrees Celsius that has not yet solidified in the fog, and it keeps accumulating on branches and other objects with the wind. The formation of rime requires low temperature and sufficient water vapor, and it is even more rare to have these two extremely important and contradictory natural conditions for the formation of rime.
Therefore, although Jilin has rime island, you can't always see the rime. I am very lucky this time. Wherever I go, I can see very beautiful rime.
The tall cedar is the deity of the Christmas tree!
The crystal clear rime
When walking, it turns into the icing of Eskimo girls' eyelashes, and it's all true.
After climbing to the top, the vision is very wide, so you can make up the 361-degree appearance of this picture, because the weather is so good and the "Snow Dragon" in the distance is very clear, which is only the beauty that can be recorded by human pixels.
The snow on the road is so clean that people can't bear to step on it. Sometimes the snow on the tree falls down and diffuses around. Like snow, I look up, my nose is sour and my eyes are wet. Is this the legendary beautiful cry?
if you want excitement, you can go downhill by snowmobile. It's cool! !
beautiful words are poor.
In the process of hiking to the top, my heart was always full of emotion. Before climbing, rhubarb dog, the guide elder brother, must go up the mountain with us. No matter how hard he can't get back, he rolled around in the snow and sold cute gloves to help us pick up. Clouds of white snow fell on him like flowers.
at that moment, my heart melted.
the beauty of nature can never be imitated by human science and technology, no matter how advanced it is.
whether you come or not, it's there, quiet, with an aesthetic feeling of independence.
After hiking, I took a bus to the famous miserable snow country that was diss.
Xuexiang was originally located in the Shuangfeng Forest Farm of Dahailin Forestry Bureau in Mudanjiang City, Heilongjiang Province. It was discovered by several photographers in the last century and became famous in one fell swoop. Later, "Where is Dad Going?" became a hit, and Xuexiang began to be overcrowded.
where there are people, there are rivers and lakes.
the key word of this year's Xuexiang Jianghu is-killing customers.
I thought that the influence of hot search articles before would affect the number of tourists in Xuexiang, but when I arrived, I didn't think so. Most of them came here with suitcases and stayed here at night, and the places they had been before.
