ZhongGuo Xuexiang China’s No. 1 Snowtown ⛄️

China Snow Town, also known as Shuangfeng Forest Farm or literally Zhongguo Xuexiang (中国雪乡) in Chinese, is reputed as the No. 1 Snow Town in China. It is about 280 km from Harbin - the capital of Heilongjiang Province. The snow here is famous for its thickness and high viscosity. Snowtown was not know much earlier but it rose to fame with some awards and some teleplay groups setting their bases here and taking many famous TV plays and films. So, many tourists choose to visit here from Harbin. Tourist buses charge around RMB 600 per person for a 2 day round trip with accommodation. A private taxi would charge anywhere from RMB 1600-2000 for a round trip (5 hour drive from Harbin). During peak season the hotels are super expensive, costing upwards of RMB 1200 for a basic room. There are others at RMB 2000-3000 but the room photos are not authentic, difficult to trust the middlemen if you don’t know Mandarin. The snowscape is beautiful and worth a visit nonetheless! #bucketlistreboot #newyearadventure #yearofrabbit #january2023
