Per capita 5K+｜It's not that you can't afford to go to Northern Europe, but that Northeast China is more cost-effective
⛄️ If you want to see snow and ski, you don't necessarily have to go abroad. With a per capita budget of 5K+, you can have a great time in Northeast China.
⛄️ Below I share my private snow-watching route in the Northeast, entering from Harbin and exiting from Jilin, without retracing my steps:
📍Day 1: All over the country - Arrive in Harbin
It is recommended to take an early flight on the first day, arrive in Harbin early, and try to visit the Saint Sophia Cathedral during the day, tour the Central Street, and play in the Ice and Snow World at night.
📍Day 2: Harbin - Yabuli - Snow Valley (Dongsheng Farm)
First go to Yabuli to experience the fun of skiing, then go to Snow Valley Dongsheng Farm, which is not too commercialized, to feel the simple folk customs of the Northeast and the quiet atmosphere.
📍Day 3: Snow Valley Hiking through Snow Town
This day is physically demanding, eat more breakfast, prepare water and dry food, hiking is quite physically demanding, but the scenery along the way is really stunning, stay in Snow Town for one night, and watch the night view by the way.
📍Day 4: Snow Town Free Activities - Erdao Baihe
If you can get up early, be sure to watch a sunrise in Snow Town. When the first ray of morning light shines into the mushroom house, it will really make people feel happy from the heart. Those who like snow activities can also play in Snow Town to their heart's content, and then stay in Erdao Baihe after playing.
📍Day 5: One-day tour of Changbai Mountain
Erdao Baihe is very close to Changbai Mountain. In winter, Changbai Mountain is likely to be closed, but the scenery is different from spring, summer and autumn, like a black and white ink painting. Remember to soak in an open-air hot spring at the foot of the mountain, it's very comfortable.
📍Day 6: Magic World - Laolike Lake - Yanji - Changchun
Magic World is, in my opinion, a must-visit niche place, known as a paradise for photographers. Be sure to get there early, before sunrise, for a chance to see stunning images.
📍Day 7: Wusong Island - Airport
Jilin Wusong is really beautiful, you must get up early! Get up early! Get up early! The important thing is said three times, if you want to see Wusong, you must get up early, of course whether you can see it or not depends on luck.
📍【Practical Tips】
🔸1, It's best to set off around New Year's Day, because it's the first snow, and the snow scene has not been destroyed by a large number of tourists.
🔸2, Six sets of cold protection must be prepared: hat, scarf, gloves, knee pads, thermos cup, warm baby.
🔸3, The snow in the Northeast is very slippery, people from the south are not used to walking and easy to fall, shoes must be warm and slip-resistant, if necessary, put on anti-slip nails.
🔸4, If you like to take pictures, remember to wear bright clothes, the photos are particularly good.
🔸5, Bring a couple of power banks, the temperature in the Northeast is low, the power consumption is particularly fast, expensive equipment should prepare a camera thermal bag, do not turn on the camera immediately when entering the room.

Zhongyang Street Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Apr)
Things you must do in Harbin
1. Play in Harbin Ice and Snow World
It is suggested to enter the park at 11 a.m. The Ice and Snow World during the day, although without the colorful lights, is super good-looking when people take photos. There are not many tourists at this time, the temperature is relatively mild, and the sun is strongest around 12 o'clock, you can take pictures of the 'pure white' tone of the ice and snow, the crystal clear ice and snow is particularly beautiful.
Then go to the Ferris wheel, which needs to be booked in advance, you can see the whole view of the Ice and Snow World.
Then go to the big slide, this is a must-check-in item, usually there is a long queue, you also need to make a reservation. It is recommended to buy a sliding pad to avoid sticking to the pants and not being able to slide down.
There are performances every hour after five o'clock in the evening. The DJ leads everyone to bounce with the rabbit, and the interactive experience is full.
If you want to eat delicious food, I think you must try the Qiu Lin Li Dao Si sausage. When queuing for the big slide, looking at the sausage dishes on the advertisement, I didn't expect Qiu Lin Li Dao Si sausage to be named after the Ice and Snow World.
2. Saint Sophia Cathedral
This is a popular check-in point. For a child growing up in the south, it is really special to take pictures of the church in the snow!
It's really a rush to take pictures here, and the photos taken are also very exotic.
3. Central Street
Not far from the Saint Sophia Cathedral. You can walk there.
It feels like a European street when taking pictures here.
In addition, of course you have to buy souvenirs when you go out, it's good to buy them here.
Here I found the store of Qiu Lin Li Dao Si again. I have tasted the sausage of Qiu Lin Li Dao Si in the Ice and Snow World before, and the taste is really good! Pure meat, full of meaty texture when you bite down. I particularly like their garlic smoked flavor.
Their family is an old enterprise with a history of 123 years, and it is the aristocrat of sausages. As a souvenir, it is most representative. Everyone says that Qiu Lin Li Dao Si sausage is a must-eat in Harbin, a must-bring specialty when leaving Harbin. It's also good to give it to others when you go back, you must bring some back home.
DiscoveringNewHorizons_22 The pigeons on Central Street are too fat, aren't they!?
✨Reason for recommendation
Central Street, a century-old architectural pedestrian street, is located in Daoli District, Harbin, and was established in 1898. It is 1450 meters long and covers an area of about 1 square kilometer. The street gathers historical buildings of Western architectural styles such as Renaissance, Baroque, Eclecticism, Art Nouveau, and Classicism.
📍Address: Pigeon gathering place: Intersection of Central Street, Hongzhuan Street, and West Seventh Street
🚙Transportation: Please navigate to Central Street
✨Highlights: ✅
🕊️The pigeons are not afraid of people at all, they will fly to your arm and head✌️, each one is as fat as a 'pigeon pig🐷'! And you can feel the romance of pigeons flying over your head
🍦Try a Madieer popsicle: It is said that if you feel cold in Harbin, just have a Madieer, and you will immediately warm up! This is actually true‼ Although the Madieer stall is always crowded, it is very worth it! The popsicle is five yuan each, and the price has not increased for many years, whether it is coffee or original milk flavor, it is very full!
⛄️Take a photo with the Snow King: Harbin is the headquarters of the 'Ice City', so you must take a photo with the Snow King! There are many different ice sculptures scattered all over Central Street
🥤Have a cup of hot ginger cola: The popular photo spot on Central Street, there are Coca-Cola peripherals and blind box cola inside! Finally, I know why I don't have friends, because I drink Pepsi, 'Drink Coca-Cola and you will have friends'. After shopping, have a super large cup of ginger cola, it is warm and can also warm your hands, I walked the whole journey with this cola bucket
🍽️Try everything about Russian: How can you not try Russian food when you come to Harbin, there are many Russian restaurants on Central Street, the oldest and most well-known ones are Huamei, Madieer, Tados; there are also many small shops selling Russian food, souvenirs and small accessories along the street, the cost performance is not very high
🍡Candied haws that can be anything: I don't know why there are candied haws all over Central Street, in addition to common hawthorn and fruits, there are also spicy strips and vegetables, I only dare to try ordinary fruits, the price is about 10-15
🏠Accommodation recommendation: It is recommended that everyone stay near Central Street, which is the center of the scenic spot, and it is convenient for eating, drinking and playing. There are many people this year, so you need to book more than a week in advance.
✉️Tip:
❣️Carry a power bank and mobile phone warm stickers with you
❣️Prepare tools such as selfie sticks and tripods when taking pictures.
💰Pigeon feed is 10y a small bag
❤️Although Central Street is a pedestrian street, parking is quite friendly, you can put it on West Eighth Street
❤️Sisters who need to buy warm clothes can go to the Liansheng Clothing Plaza near Central Street, where they sell gloves, cotton pants, hats, scarves, etc., which are cheap, warm and not heartache

This trip to Harbin, hurry up and add it to your Bucket List, let's have fun in the snow! 🌨️💥❄️
Harbin is so much fun
When walking, don't put your hands in your pockets, it's easy to slip, try to take small steps forward
On the roads of Harbin, there is always ice that can cause you to slip. Freeing your hands helps maintain balance. The same goes for taking small steps.
Don't casually throw kids into thick snow, the snow can easily pour into the boots
Breathing masks can easily get wet, and when they do, they become very cold, have a few extra for replacement, the same goes for face masks
When feeding deer, stay away from those big antlers, it hurts if you get hit (ps: I was directly knocked down and had a large bruise, I even dropped the basket) Deer are quite gentle, just greedy, anyway, I slapped them a few times!
Warning!!! Don't let kids hold the basket, the deer's antlers may hurt them, it's very dangerous, kids are shorter, the antlers may directly hit their face, eyes and other vulnerable parts.
Candied strawberries are all the same price, it feels like the ones from other places are bigger than those on Central Street, candied haws are the best. Don't buy grilled sausages on Central Street, they are all starch, ignore this if you like it.
It's very difficult to get a taxi on Central Street, even if you offer more money, it's difficult. Take public transportation or walk an extra street to get a taxi.
Harbin barbecue is delicious, we just went to a place with a lot of people nearby, didn't go to any internet-famous shops
Don't buy Russian crafts, they are all made in Yiwu
If you want to buy Russian food, you can look at the varieties and buy them online, it's the same, and it's free shipping, no need to carry it back
You can buy sausages from Harbin Meat Union or Qiulin Lidos, normally there is fat, you can ask for pure lean sausages. Then there is a Russian smoked beef tendon sausage that is quite delicious, like jelly, QQ. But these sausages are not very accustomed to, you can process them according to local tastes
In Harbin, try to use Didi, don't take taxis, the reputation is too bad
Northeastern cuisine may not be to your taste, but the sweet and sour pork from Lao Chu Jia is quite delicious, you can get a number from the mini program, no need to get it on site, can save some time
Frozen pears taste like Fujian's soaked pears, if you are curious, you can buy a small amount to try
Everyone go to the Ice and Snow World early to queue up, it opens at 11 o'clock, normally starts queuing at 10 o'clock. As soon as you enter the door, everyone will run wildly to the attractions, running is very hot, so put on warm baby and heating insoles when you are cold.
The food court in the Ice and Snow World has no place to heat water, everyone bring your own thermos cup! (I don't know if there is a hot water area now) There are a lot of people queuing for food in the food court at meal times, everyone stagger your meals!
Dress a little thinner inside, look better. Otherwise, it's awkward to take off your clothes to eat!
The accommodation conditions in Snow Village are extremely poor, you can imagine it according to the standard of 50 yuan/night in the township.
The prices are not as cheap as imagined, if you want to eat some special meals, it's quite expensive, 250-400 yuan/meal is quite normal

UP IN YANGCAO MOUNTAINS
We went to the pinnacle of the mountain for about 60 minutes. We passed through two settlements and a snow-covered pine forest while following the snow track. The broad vistas full of snow, accompanied by beautiful sky and breathtaking surroundings, greeted us in the mountainous landscape! Yangcao Mountain, at an elevation of 4,429 feet (1,350 meters), is located to the northwest of the settlement.
We had to ride in a snowmobile driven by a professional driver on the last slope. I'd like to take command, but I'd rather leave it to the professionals! It was a 15-minute rocky ride through a tiny snow route. It was a wonderful adventure. The plants on the summit were sparse when we arrived. Snow had accumulated on the trees. The vision is clear since there were no obstacles in the way.
The top gave a fantastic observation point to see the vast magnificent snowscape of the hills, valleys, and rimes, with no obstructions in the way. According to the guide, Yangcao Mountain is the greatest site in China Snow Town to observe the sunrise and sunset due of its elevation and vast perspective. I should have just stayed in Snow Town longer.

It turns out that I can also cross the snow mountain
Sheep Grass Mountain is the highest mountain in Snow Town, about 4.5 kilometers away from the residential area. It is said to be one of the most beautiful spots in Snow Town. In this vast primitive forest, it is named for its few trees and many grasses on the top of the mountain. Because of its height advantage, plus the scarcity of trees and wide field of vision, it is an excellent place to watch the sunrise and sunset.
In the early morning, crossing the Sheep Grass Mountain in the snow village to the other side of the Snow Town is also a wonderful experience.

Menghuan Grand Golden Pagoda Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Apr)
Annual review! The architecture of this niche city in Mangshi is too stunning
I have traveled to 12 cities this year,
I have seen a lot of buildings along the way,
I saw European retro buildings in Dalian,
I saw Qianhu Miao Village in Guizhou,
I saw the characteristic small town of the Bai nationality in Dali,
And the Dai-style huts in Mangshi,
The most stunning for me are the golden and silver towers in Mangshi,
Recommendation reason:
This niche border town has Southeast Asian-style buildings,
The golden and silver towers are the most representative, and you can experience Dai-style flavor without going abroad,
There are not many tourists here, the experience is very good, highly recommended.
🌈Mangshi 2-day tour route:
Tuanjie Road Pedestrian Street—Shubao Tower—Xinwan Factory Night Market
Menghuan Silver Tower—Menghuan Big Golden Tower—Dai Ancient Town
🔹Menghuan Big Golden Tower: You can look up in many places in Mangshi
This golden tower, navigate directly to the Big Golden Tower, parking at the door is 5 yuan/time, ticket 40r, you can take pictures at the door.
🔹Silver Tower: The silver white tower, 100 meters away from the Golden Tower, is a good place to watch the sunset and the night view of Mangshi. The top of the tower is hung with wind chimes, swaying in the wind, crisp and pleasant.
In addition to these, we feel that we can go to the Dongfeng Wholesale Market and the Hongli Comprehensive Market. These two places are not far apart, and the fruits and vegetables in the market are very good, and there are some Southeast Asian trinkets
Explore the frontier town and check in at the exotic Menghuan Golden Pagoda!
🏯It's not abroad, nor is it Xishuangbanna, this is the Menghuan Golden Pagoda in Dehong Mangshi, full of exotic charm! As a landmark building of Dehong Mangshi, it is a must-visit spot that cannot be missed!
😉The towering and spectacular golden pagoda shows its brilliance. Under the sunshine, it is even more dazzling. I am very fortunate to have watched the wonderful and lively Dai peacock dance under this golden pagoda, which is said to be a dance handed down from ancient times.
☀️The golden pagoda is an octagonal four-door design, hollow inside, it is a hollow Buddhist pagoda, a holy place for the local people to worship and pray. When I went a few days ago, two of the four doors were opened, and you can enter the pagoda to worship after taking off your shoes.
👏At its highest point, it is topped with a 2.3-ton golden dome, which is the first golden Buddhist pagoda in China and the first hollow Buddhist pagoda in Asia.
