Harbin: An Ice and Snow World for Enjoying and Playing in the Snow Reasons for recommendation: Harbin is the most famous winter tourist destination in China for enjoying and playing in the snow. It has good tourism development and its reception capacity is not to mention.

Harbin is the northernmost capital of the three northeastern provinces. Its coldness is unmatched by the other two provinces, and it naturally has the heaviest snow.

If we say enjoying the snow in Harbin, it is more accurate to say playing in the snow there. The annual Ice and Snow Festival and Snow Expo attract thousands of domestic and foreign tourists.

Skiing is a game for the brave, but don’t be intimidated by its excitement, because the editor’s personal experience tells you that skiing is not as scary as you think, so you must ski in Harbin.

The best place is the Yabuli Ski Resort, which is located 195 kilometers east of Harbin. It is currently the largest tourist ski resort in China with beginner, intermediate and advanced ski trails.

Yabuli Ski Resort consists of two parts: an alpine competitive ski area and a tourist ski area with international standards.

The tourist ski resort has 11 high, intermediate and elementary ski trails, as well as various recreational facilities such as mini golf courses, tennis courts, hot air balloon rides, paragliding, helicopter aerial rides, etc.

If you really don’t dare to try skiing, you can take the world’s number one slide there, which has a total length of 2,680 meters, a drop of 570 meters, 48 ??turns, and an average slope of 10 degrees.

Riding the slide from the top of the mountain down the slide, the whole journey takes 5-10 minutes. The experience is similar to but different from skiing. The natural, exciting and selfless feeling arises spontaneously from the moment you get on the slide.

Besides enjoying and playing in the snow in Harbin, don’t forget the ice lanterns there, which are crystal clear and colorful, just like a fairy tale world.

The Harbin Ice and Snow Festival is usually held in early January every year. At that time, ice lanterns, ice sculptures, and snow sculptures will all appear on stage. It is worthy of being a world of ice and snow.

Travel Tips: Transportation: When traveling in the central area of ??Harbin, renting for about 20 yuan can meet basic needs.

The starting fee is 8 yuan.

There are many trains and buses from Harbin to Xuexiang and Yabuli, which is very convenient.

Food: Restaurants are concentrated on Central Street and Huanghe Road in the development zone.

We recommend Huamei Restaurant (Russian Western Food) and RUSSIA-CAFe (Lucia) on Central Street, on the road from Central Street to Songhua River.

Equipment: Try to bring a traditional mechanical camera.

Digital camera batteries will fail when exposed to low temperatures.

If you must use your digital camera, keep it warm inside your clothes when not in use.

Prepare two sets of batteries, one to keep hot.

When entering indoors from outdoors, cover the camera with a plastic bag to prevent moisture from sudden cooling and heating from damaging the lens.

The temperature in Harbin in winter generally ranges from -20℃ to -35℃.

Cold-proof clothing must be prepared, and non-slip boots, hats, gloves and scarves must be worn.

Jilin Changbai Mountain: The forest sea and snowy plains are just like ink paintings. Reason for recommendation: The scenery of Changbai Mountain in winter is truly a natural ink painting on the land of the North. When you climb up to the Changbai Mountain Tianchi, the scenery and feelings in front of you are really enlightening.

It is named after its main peak, which is full of white pumice and snow. It is known as "thousands of years of snow turns into old pine trees, reaching the highest peak in the world".

Baiyun Peak in China, with an altitude of 2,691 meters, is the highest peak in Northeast China, while the highest peak in Changbai Mountain is Jiangjun Peak in North Korea.

Changbai Mountain is the volcano with the highest altitude and the largest vent in Northeast China.

Changbai Mountain also has a beautiful meaning: "Stay together till the end of time".

Changbai Mountain in winter is an ink painting on the northern land: the peaks, pools, forests, and grasslands are all covered with white snow. The snow is soft, soft, and flawless. The snow is 1-2 meters thick and 3-4 meters deep.

Windy sand, no pollution, snow quality, snow quantity and snow period have reached the first-class level.

Looking around, the vast sea of ????forests is covered in silver. The north wind blows, thousands of trees are covered with silver flowers, and white snow waves rise one after another.

Under the snow-covered canopy, a few green pine leaves flash out from time to time, which is particularly vivid.

Inadvertently, you will find that this is the spiritual paradise you dream of, with flawless white snow washing away all your fatigue.

In addition to seeing the snow in Changbai Mountain, of course you also have to go to Tianchi. Tianchi in winter has a unique charm.

In addition to Tianchi, what you can’t miss is the hot springs there. It will be so pleasant to soak in the warm hot springs against the backdrop of white snow. The contrast between hot and cold will be so pleasant.
