China Snow Town


Located in Changting Town of Hailin City, China Snow Town is formerly known as the Shuangfeng Forestry Center of Mudanjiang City, 350 kilometers east of Harbin City, in the northeast of China. If visitors want to experience the interesting skiing, sledding and grand snowscape, the Snow Town is the best choice. Its nival period lasts for seven months from October to the next May.

What to see?
In winter, houses there are covered under the thick snow, looking like clouds, rabbits and mushrooms. Xueyun Avenue is the liveliest place in the town, gathering various shops and inns along the 500-meter street. You can have a taste of the frozen pear or sugar-coated haws, or take photos with the bar renovated from the old-fashioned locomotive while walking down the street. The village is even beautiful in the night. Local people will decorate their houses with red lanterns. Under the light of the lanterns, the town looks like a graceful painting of winter full of the rural features. At night, it must be an unforgettable experience for visitors to sleep on the traditional heated kang bed, a common bed piled up with bricks and warmed by fire in northern China.

Ski Resort
It must be the dream of most visitors to speed among the mountains and forests, wearing a vivid ski suit. This dream can be achieved in the Snow Town Ski Resort. As an important entertainment venue in the village, the resort offers activities like skiing, horse-sled, dog-sled and circle-sled.

Yangcao Mountain
With an elevation of 1,350 meters, Yangcao Mountain is located to the northwest of the village. The plants are sparse on the top. Without any obstacle blocking the vision, the peak provides visitors a perfect viewing platform to enjoy the wide stunning snowscape of the hills, valley, and rimes. Because of the advantage in height and the broad perspective, Yangcao Mountain is the best place in China Snow Town to view the scene of sunrise and sunset.

Dream Home
Dream Home is a comprehensive area of food, accommodation and entertainment on the west of Xueyun Avenue. There is an old-fashioned inn in this area, which is the location of over ten movies and TV dramas. Visitors can also enjoy the folk culture and famous Northeast Song-and-dance Duet (Er Ren Zhuan) in this area.

Film and Television Base
Many movies and TV dramas are shot in the Snow Town. Located to the southwest of the village, there are more than 30 houses in the Film and Television Base to reflect the living situation of people of different classes in different times, including the bandits’ lair, the dormitory of the educated youth (1966 to 1976), and courtyards of the wealthy families.  The base is also a place to feel the mysterious Shaman culture, which is a primitive religion in northern China, through traditional God-invitation ritual and other religious activities.

When to go there?
1. .Going there during the Spring Festival is strongly recommended. Besides the scene of snow, every house is decorated with red lanterns and streamers during that time. At night, there will be firework show, creating a joyful and festive atmosphere.

2. The best time to visit the China Snow Town is during December to next March. You can enjoy the large-scale snowscape and play snow sports like skiing, sledding, and snowboarding. The average temperature during that period is around -4 degrees Fahrenheit (-20 degrees Centigrade). You should well prepare the cold-proof outfits
