As a southerner who loves snow, the biggest pleasure every year is to go to places with snow for a wave. I have been to many places and have some of my own experiences. Let’s talk about my favorite Several cities!
1. Jilin
2. Mohe
3. Hulunbuir
4. Xi'an
5. Harbin
I have been to these cities N times. In addition to the snow scenery, they also have their own characteristics. The most important thing is that the consumption is not high, so you can have fun without spending too much money.
1. Jilin
Reference budget: 800 yuan per capita/3 days
If you don’t go to Jilin if you want to see snow, you will definitely regret it. The rime and snow in Jilin Festival, Rime Island, Songhua River, Changbai Mountain, etc. are all good places to see snow in winter.
The Songhua River rime is the most recommended here! Rime is one of the four wonders of nature. It cannot be seen at any time. Whether the rime appears or not depends entirely on luck. It is more likely to appear when there is no wind, strong water vapor, and large temperature differences. In my impression, it is the same as Tianchi in Changbai Mountain. It is destined. Only people can see the most beautiful moment ~ Rime appears from the end of December to the beginning of February every year. The best viewing area is called the Songhua River Ten Mile Long Embankment Rime Viewing Area.
Rime is difficult to predict one day or a few days in advance. You can check the official public account "Jilin City Tour" and "Jilin Rime" around 6 a.m. that day. There will be a broadcast of the day's rime level, as well as pictures taken That day was "3 stars", 5-star rime is the best, one star is not recommended.
2. Mohe
Reference budget: 800 yuan per capita/6 days
If you want to hear the sound of falling snow, how can you not come to Mohe? This is the northernmost point of China covered in thousands of miles of ice, a place where you can see the Northern Lights. There are snow-capped forest paths, glaciers, birch forests, sleds, borders, and small Russian villages on the other side. Winter is the busiest season in Mohe, attracting many tourists to enjoy this pure snow world.
I recommend the White Birch Forest. The Greater Khingan Mountains, which is well known in primary school textbooks, looks even more white and deep in winter, making it great for taking photos. You must go to the Niujiao Bay Observation Deck at the end; the Ewenk Reindeer Park, where you can get up close and personal Elk, their long antlers are very cute~ Feed them dry moss, but remember not to take it all out, as they will chase you.
3. Hulunbuir
Reference budget: 1,000 yuan per person/4 days
I really like Hulunbuir, the beautiful scenery and the warm people! Hulunbuir has a winter that lasts for eight months, with extremely cold temperatures reaching -40°C. It is "one of the extremely cold cities in China." In Hulunbuir, the snow is spread all the way to the horizon. Friends who like ice and snow must come and see it in winter. The white planet like the Antarctic ice is really spectacular. The snow-white world is connected with the sky, forming a beautiful picture. The snow is as white as silver, and the pine trees are covered with snow, as if you are in a fairy tale world.
And there are almost no tourists. The only ones you can encounter occasionally are horses digging through grass roots and foxes looking for food. This is a kind of fox called a sand fox. It is very cute and cute. It is not easy to find food in winter. It will Try begging people for food. In short, the winter in Hulunbuir is less crowded and the scenery is beautiful, so recommended!
4. Xi'an
Reference budget: 600 yuan per capita/3 days
How can we get to Chang'an without snow in Xi'an! The white snow and the ancient city are so perfect! ! ! Snowflakes fall on the ancient city wall, on the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, on the treetops, and on the flaming red lanterns, which is antique! Walking around the Daming Palace, the red walls are lined with white snow. You can listen to the sound of snow falling on the palace walls, feel the heavy snow on the Danfeng Gate, and imagine the grandeur of the snow-colored royal gardens.
When it comes to a good place to enjoy snow in Xi'an, the city wall is the first choice, probably because of the accumulation of history. The ancient city wall of Xi'an in the snow embodies majesty and solemnity everywhere. There is also the Big Wild Goose Pagoda. In the swirling snowflakes, enjoying the snow under the Wild Goose Pagoda is even more primitive. Climbing up the Big Wild Goose Pagoda will take the scenery to a whole new level! ! !
5. Harbin
Reference budget: 800 yuan per capita/5 days
The scenery in the north is not only the heavy snowfall that people in the south cannot see, but also the exotic customs architectural culture! To see snow in Harbin, you must go to Sophia Cathedral to watch the slowly falling snowflakes, appreciate those exquisite European-style buildings, and feel the beautiful style of this unique northeastern city.
In addition to snow, Harbin in winter is also a world of ice sculptures. There are so many ice sculptures in Harbin that are amazing! You can see it on the streets, in the parks, everywhere. I recommend Ice and Snow World. The ice sculptures inside are simply works of art, with different shapes and postures. There are slides, corridors, palaces... and the snow sculptures of Sun Island. They are of high quality, new content, large scale and interesting. , so it is known as the world’s largest ice and snow carnival.
