Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

We love the superb beautiful sceneries in Northern China. XueXiang is such a great experience for our family but it was super duper cold!
Kids bought the ice balls maker and have snow fight along the snow street... We just enjoyed the stay in XueXiang.

Amazing view and decorations. Looks in the evening like a fairy tale town. Full with restaurants and street vendors (yes, even at -25C). Easy to drive from Harbin and only 2h distance. One day visit is enough to explore this.
Hotels are overpriced, our room was 1500CNY=208USD for the night. There were no windows, no air ventilation, and no temperature control in our room. The room was like +30C, and I needed to carry in a bucket with snow in front of the fan to cool it down. For kids, there is no slope to go with a rental sled as it is considered too dangerous.

I went there on Jan 26th, 2015. I booked with Kazy youth Hostel the trip to China's Snowtown. 450 yuan for accommodation + Tranport + Dinner and breakfast. The Snow village is really an amazing place. The snow is very very thick and of course very very cold hihihi... -28 degrees C at that time. Try to go there and you won't regret. Need more information, feel free to contact me on Facebook:

Strange village with not much in it. If you have never seen snow before, well give it a try - you might have fun; but if you have then don't bother! Although it's not that far from Harbin, it takes 6-7hrs by bus. Once you arrive, after paying the ENTRANCE you gotta take a bus down to your hotel. Bus ride was super uncomfortable, driver tried to fit in as many of us as possible, then put on some loud announcement in Chinese and by the end of this short ride he was 'screaming' at us trying to sell his playing cards with tacky pictures of the Snow Village. What was supposed to be a 'traditional' accommodation turned out to be just a cheap accommodation. There is not much to do.. not a cozy bar with music or anything like that.. just some shop where you can buy hot coffee or tea, but there's no seating. The village has a museum, but nothing amazing. What I liked the most was the viewing platform. It's a nice thing to do, beautifully lit in dark. You can also try skying and have fun on slides, but for additional cost (what did we pay the entrance for than?) Yeah, overall, although the red lanterns under snow blanket look very pretty, this place was a waste of time..

For backpackers, you can get a cheap room in the snow town itself even without reservation. Its a heated wooden bed that can fit 4 people. Best view is in the morning after the overnight snow where the trees on the mountain side are eerie white. Must try: frozen fruit on a stick covered with sugar.

This is my first trip to Harbin and I booked my hotel accommodation in Snow Town on C Trip (or Trip.com). Accommodation, I stayed at SnowTown Lanxingmeng Movie Theme Hotel (蓝馨梦电影主题酒店). It’s on the Main Street - where is bustle n give of activities. Walk slowly to somewhere in the middle and match the signboard from the pic attached.
One side is the arrival from Yabuli n the other side is arrival from Wuchang (Harbin City). The tour buses will drop off at the public carpark. Enter n purchase the entrance to Snow Town. A shuttle bus will be there to pick all passengers to Snow Town.
I didn’t want to join a tour and wake up early. Free and easy has its disadvantages. How to get there?
Transport - The Snow Town hotel will be able to arrange for you. As everything is communicated in Chinese, it’s a must to speak n type in Chinese. Most of the transport agency’s / Drivers replies are as voice messages.
My preference is to go Snow Town from Yabuli. It’s 2.5 hour journey. From Harbin, it’s approx 6 hours (could be slightly longer when the roads turn icy n traffic builds up). Base hotel in Yabuli n keep your large luggage there. Pack an overnight bag n head to Snow Town for a night or two.
I booked from SG. Thank goodness for Carousell. Some people offer to help pay in RMB for your transport using their WeChat Pay. You have to transfer $ using PayNow and ask the Transport contact to add the Carousell guy. There has to be a level of trust (transport can be less than S$150 per person). Best if you have a friend from China.
When I got there, there are tons to do. Too much for a 2 day 1 night. Dressing up, buying tickets to watch a variety show (suggest 4pm show) and view the Snow Village exhibit on the Main Street, a horse cart ride, etc. A parade starts at 7pm and ends with a concert and a bonfire.
The next morning, take a trip to the forest where they filmed ”爸爸去哪里”. There is lots of photo-taking opportunity. The photographer stations in the 中心 are friendly. The pics are not exp... RMB 20 per piece (ask for digital 电子版，slightly higher n negotiable in bulk). It’s bitter cold in early Dec & Uniqlo Fleece Pants require Ultra warm base layers.
This place is uniquely China. Rich in culture, food and scenery. Snow quality is as good (if not better) than Hokkaido. Powder snow. Apparently, you can ski near Snow Town n stay in Snow Town. I’ve not tried this though.
As foreigners (国外旅客, please give a tip to express your thanks. The generosity of the locals are from the heart.

One of the most beautiful towns in China, Snow Town (雪乡), is a must to visit. Get mesmerized by the different angles and views of the area. It was snowing the morning we are about to depart Snow Town. The main stretch of road comprises lots of eateries (selling repeated stuff) and some small mini-marts and souvenirs stores.
November is the beginning of winter and the area gets dark early (~4pm). Nonetheless, the shops (except eateries that close later) and tourist attractions close at 8~9pm. One gets to enjoy and appreciate the town in day or night. Visit the Mystic HomeTown ('梦幻家园') and free to visit museum along the main road that gives a good introduction of the town and what it specializes in. However, the texts on the wall are in Mandarin and there is no guide to help with translation. Take a stroll along the Bang Chui Shan Tourist Road and enjoy the night view of the town where houses are lit in neon lights (see pic shared). The town welcomes its visit every night with a dance and some performance on the stage.
Another recommendation is a 20minutes bus ride up Yang Cao Shan (羊草山). Enjoy the good scenic and overview of the area. Would recommend a 2 days 1 night stay.
