What's the difference between Harbin Snow Valley and Xiang Xue?

Harbin Snow Valley and Xiang Xue are not in the same place, separated by a mountain. We should go to both places. Snow Valley is more primitive, less commercialized, Xiang Xue is more famous, and the snow scene is better, but it is more commercialized. The specific arrangement should be to go to Xuegu first, stay for one night, and then cross the river to snow the next morning.

Crossing is to cross a mountain from the snow valley and walk to the snow country. The biggest advantage of this kind of hiking is that the scenery has always been beautiful and it is a rare winter experience. It's snowing all the way. When you are lucky, you can see the tree hanging, which is fog.

This is a very mature route. Many people are walking every day. You can join a team leader in Xuegu and go with everyone.

To go to rime island, do you go directly to rime island or Xueyu, or go back to Harbin before going to rime island?

You can carpool to Wusong Island in the snow without going back to Harbin. The whole route is: Harbin-Snow Valley-Snow Country-Wusong Island.

Tip:

1. The advantage of crossing from Xuegu to Xuexiang is absolute safety. Some tour leaders will arrange to take your luggage directly to Xuexiang by car, which will make it much easier for you to cross. After all, the whole journey takes several hours, which is a bit of a physical test. Of course, you don't need a leader, because there are too many people on this road. You just need to follow a team with a leader.

2. The scenery when crossing is beautiful, but be careful not to run around, because the mountains are white and easy to get lost.

Take a snack with you to replenish your strength, especially chocolate and beef jerky.

4. Pay attention to keep warm, especially hats, gloves and shoes. Shoes should be non-slip, and snow boots are a good choice (but note that the soles can't be hard when frozen, and they are made of inferior materials. They are not slippery at all. It must be a somewhat elastic sole when pressed outdoors). If it's other shoes, it's better to have high tops to prevent snow from flowing back into the shoes. You can also rent a snow cover, which is very useful in the snow.
