Mountain View Hotels in Harbin

I have to make this review before the winter ends because this homestay deserves all the guests coming to snow town and snow valley. The hospitality of the owners is beyond imagination, i’m not kidding! They have been extremely helpful in guiding us throughout our travel to snow town and snow valley. We communicate using a translator but it still feels like speaking with a friend. Don’t hesitate to ask questions regarding your trip and the activities that you want to do. As for us, we booked a 3d/2n stay with them. They helped us maximize our itinerary as well. 2 nights before our tour, the owner gave us the number of bus driver. We paid the bus tickets in advance. Day 1 8am-2pm - Bus from Harbin to Snow Town (Xuexiang). We left our luggages in the bus. Tickets bought at the entrance. Dont worry about prebooking. Play in Snow Town until 8pm. 8pm - Bus ride from Snow Town to Snow Valley. The bus driver already knows where to drop us. At the bus stop, we were fetched by car and brought to the inn (~2 min ride). Day 2 9am-4pm Play at Guoxiongling Bear Ridge. For 400rmb/pax, we went up the mountain by snowmobile. We played banana boat drift, snowmobile, some went skiing and a super amazing view! There were also fun group activities! :) Note: The owner gave us drone videos of ourselves and took pictures of us. He also brought his insta360 and gave us copies of group activities videos. You can also use this during the banana boat drift which would look awesome with insta360. The owner is also a licensed ski instructed but my husband didn’t want to ski so there’s that. Haha. We went down around 3pm by snowmobile. At 5pm, we ordered dinner from their restaurant. The Northeastern Fish Stew is amazing!! Try it and thank me later. After dinner we did the hot water in ice trick for Free! We also had fun talking about traveling and sharing stories of our pets, while having tea, frozen persimmons, peach and sunflower seeds. 🥰 Day 3 Departure date. Bus leaves at 6am and 9am. They booked the bus for us back to harbin. I wish we could have stayed longer! Room we stayed had a heated Kang bed. The floor had heating too. Toiletries are complete with indoor slippers. Breakfast serving is large! The room is clean, with water heater. On top of that, it’s 1/10th of the price of snow town accommodations. Snow village offers a unique experience away from the glittery lights and sounds of snow town. It is both peaceful and charming. Thank you Liu Bo and your husband for the awesome stay we had. We truly appreciate it! Thank you for the surprise and gifts as well! :) We hope to see you soon again!

Having stayed at hotels in both Xuexiang and Xuegu, this guesthouse in Xuegu is definitely the king of value for money! Let me tell you about its advantages: 1) Underfloor heating throughout the entire house. Every corner of the room was incredibly warm, which is super important in places like Xuegu and Xuexiang where nighttime temperatures can drop to minus twenty degrees Celsius. 2) The owner is such a warm, chatty, and responsible young woman. As soon as I arrived, she greeted me with a big handful of frozen pears and persimmons. The next day, when she took me up Xiongling (Bear Ridge), I accidentally dropped my gloves while taking photos and my hands were freezing stiff. Without a word, she gave me her own down gloves and endured the cold herself on the way down the mountain. It was truly touching! As for the drawbacks, the room facilities are quite basic, but they do provide essential toiletries like toothbrushes, disposable towels, shower gel, etc. Besides lacking the unique advantage of snow mushroom houses, Xuegu is still great for playing in the snow and doesn't feel as overly commercialized as Xuexiang. If you're not specifically looking to check out the snow mushroom houses, you might want to consider guesthouses in Xuegu, haha.

Every day since leaving Xinfu, I've been missing the sledding hill behind the lodge (it was free and unlimited!). The owner even helps guests take photoshoots like 'splashing water into ice' (he took three amazing shots for me 😎) and 'glowing with colors.' He's an incredibly skilled photographer, and those pictures instantly elevated my social media game. They also organized a session where we all made candied hawthorns together. As an extrovert, being able to chat with everyone like that was just so enjoyable! The owner also led the trip to Wusong Ridge, keeping us entertained, taking photos, and even teaching us how to ski along the way. As someone from the south, I truly got to experience the thrill of playing wildly in the snow! And of course, the accommodation itself was very unique, with a traditional heated *kang* bed, ensuring a deep sleep until morning. Waking up to hot porridge in the morning was just heavenly!

The guesthouse owner is very attentive and friendly. They gave you the feelings like you are staying at your own hometown. They are Muslim friendly as they prepared breakfast using seperate utensils and treat you like their own family. There is also Makanan Melayu menu that they prepared for Muslim if you want to eat for dinmer or lunch. The price is affordable. At the guesthouse, there is a poster of snow activities that you can do written in English translation. Just point to what do you want to do and the owner will directly arrange somebody to pick you up and drop off to the guesthouse again once activity is done. I did the ski playground activity and Wu Song Ling , both of the experience is very great. If you travel solo, then this guesthouse is perfect for you as they really caring and attentive to make sure you are safe and comfortable. I also got to eat frozen fruit given by the owner. No need to worry if you cannot speak chinese as the owner is equipped with translation devices. The owner can arrange the bus to come from Harbin City to Snow Valley, and also when you want to go back. The bus drop directly infront of the guesthouse with the owner already waiting to help with your luggage.

Service Experience: From booking to check-out, communication was incredibly smooth. The hostess was exceptionally warm and enthusiastic, offering personalized itinerary planning and even reserving restaurants for us. Any issues were met with an incredibly fast response, truly making us feel at home. Amenities Details: The in-room smart toilet, high-quality bedding, and branded toiletries were a pleasant surprise. The hotel also provides a shoe dryer, and offers complimentary outdoor ice activities like snowmobiling, cycling, small sleds, and snow tubes. There's also free parking. The facilities are maintained like new, immaculately clean and tidy. This isn't just accommodation; it's an experience to be savored, offering incredible value for money. I highly recommend it to anyone who appreciates quality!

Two families with kids stayed at Ding Shu's place for 4 nights. The rooms were small but very clean. The owner mentioned they plan to expand the guesthouse this year. The owner helped us book everything: round-trip car service, tickets, snowmobiles, and horse-drawn sleds. The prices here are standardized, so no worries about overpaying. The owner drove us to the starting point for the horse-drawn sledding. Ding Shu also personally guided us throughout our trip to Wusong Ridge, accompanying us for all activities and explaining how to get down the mountain. We chose to sled down, which was great fun! Ding Shu even helped us take photos and videos! The auntie's cooking was absolutely delicious!!! And seeing that we were a large group, she gave us extra portions, and the prices were very reasonable!! Since we stayed for many days, the breakfast was a bit repetitive every morning. However, the auntie made us fried eggs and even cooked a bowl of noodles for my friend – thank you! We could also WeChat scan to order milk tea, which the milk tea shop would deliver. They also had fried chicken popcorn and fries. The milk tea was delicious; I ordered it and coffee every day. The owner gave us lots of great tips for our itinerary. Behind the guesthouse, there's a small hill perfect for playing in the snow, with a slope for sledding. The kids played there all day. This whole area belongs to the owner, and it's not crowded, which was perfect for us. When the kids were tired, needed to use the restroom, or wanted to drink water and rest, they could just go back to the guesthouse anytime – it was right there! How convenient! I think this is very important! We played on Yangcao Mountain and then went to Snow Town. We were so glad we didn't stay in Snow Town and decided that next time, we'd sled from the top of Yangcao Mountain back to Snow Valley. We absolutely loved this area of Snow Valley; it has a peaceful, beautiful charm! If we come back to Snow Valley next year, we'll definitely stay here again!!!

This probably the best homestay you can get in yabuli or anywhere else. Why? Inform them of your arrival in yabulixi West Station and their driver will come pick you up complimentary. Once back into hotel, you can ask to go for activities or dinners and they are eager to send you there. Breakfast is also served complimentary everyday with different types every morning, just so good and delicious. Mr. Pang and Mr Li and their spouses are very friendly and helpful. You will never regret staying here. The rooms are heated from the floor, not wall so you can walk about with warm flooring. Window is facing small park and beautiful hill, very close to the ski centres. You will definitely love this place.

First off, the service at Yabuli Hotel is genuinely excellent. Our butler reached out a day in advance to arrange pickup and drop-off at the high-speed rail station. The hotel also has its own ski resort, and equipment rental was included, which is definitely a big plus. The hotel environment is also fantastic, and the kids absolutely loved it!

We chose this hotel for our trip to Yabuli, and its location is fantastic. There are plenty of recreational activities right within the resort. Our stay was excellent; the room was clean and tidy, well-equipped, and the bedding was super comfortable. The front desk staff were warm and attentive, and check-in was very efficient. The environment is quiet, and overall, it offers good value for money. Plus, the sightseeing cable car offers beautiful views, and the Rainbow Flying Carpet is exciting and fun! Highly recommend!

The hotel has a great location, very close to the city, making it easy to get around. The staff were friendly and polite, and they helped us carry our luggage during check-in, which was a nice touch. The room itself was acceptable, and most facilities were fine. However, the floor cleanliness needs improvement, as it was dirty when we arrived. Other than this issue, everything else was okay. With better cleaning, this hotel could offer a much better experience.
