The most comfortable reward is a trip without a rushed itinerary. Find a place with a lively, local atmosphere to stay in, spend the morning strolling through the market with the locals, smelling the aroma of freshly steamed noodles, and tasting fresh fruits and vegetables glistening with dew. In the afternoon, wander slowly along the old streets, watching elderly people playing chess and chatting in their doorways; even time seems to slow down. No unread messages urging you on, no endless work, just leisurely freedom—this is the most touching aspect of travel.

Everything went great, but not without incident. The ticket said it included meeting at the station and transfer, but in reality, I had to pay separately. Because no one met me and there was no transfer. I searched around the station and found nothing. Otherwise, it was great. Full gear. Not steep slopes. Just what beginners need.🤝

It was a very happy skiing experience! The slopes were great! There were thousands of coaches there, and luckily our coach was very responsible! It was just a little strange that the ticket price was more expensive than buying it at the tour guide agency! And it was at least 80 yuan more expensive! The business model is different!

The skiing trip was an absolutely wonderful experience, and getting there was very easy and convenient. I’m also very satisfied with booking through Trip.com; it allowed us to rent ski gear at a much better price compared to renting directly on-site

Over 40 slopes—from gentle "green" slopes for beginners to the legendary "A1" ("Happiness Alley") for experts. The longest is 5 km, with a vertical drop of almost 900 meters. A thrill is guaranteed. Plus, the long season (November to April) and powder (fluffy snow) make mistakes much easier for beginners. It's easy to get there: take the high-speed train from Harbin to Yabuli West Station (1–1.5 hours), then a 15-minute shuttle ride takes you there. Many local hotels offer free shuttle service from the station. A day ski pass costs approximately 300–500 yuan; equipment is included.

Staying in a mountain stargazing tent is a romantic experience that brings you close to nature. The tent is pitched on a wide-open hillside, and opening the curtain reveals the entire sky. As darkness falls, the stars light up one by one, so many they seem like a basket of scattered diamonds, and even the Milky Way is clearly visible. Lying on the hammock by the tent entrance, watching the stars, the mountain breeze carries the scent of grass, there's no light pollution, and the stars are so bright they seem to be falling down—this breathtaking starry sky is something you can never experience in the city.

Travel isn't just about seeing scenery; it's about experiencing life in a different way. Join the locals at the early morning market, smell the aroma of freshly steamed noodles, pick out a bag of fruit glistening with morning dew, and stroll in the square with the crowds in the evening, watching the aunties dance to music. Adjust your pace to the same slow rhythm as here, and you'll discover that life doesn't have to be so rushed. This leisurely, down-to-earth atmosphere warms your heart even when you think about it later.

5/5
Every trip leaves a new mark on life. It might be a pretty leaf tucked away in your pocket, a faded but happy group photo in your album, or a flavor you've remembered for a long time. These small memories, accumulated together, become little things to look forward to in life. When life becomes dull and monotonous again, looking back on them reminds you of the wind that blew by, the ease and joy of those times, and allows you to keep going with a smile.

Deluxe Family Room with Snowy Mountain View (Smart Home + Forest View + Winter Heating)
The room was very spacious, and the bed was large and comfortable, so I slept really well. The lady at the front desk was very helpful and even upgraded us to a snow-view room with direct views of the ski slopes, which was a pleasant surprise. The hotel restaurant was also good and quite reasonably priced for a resort.

Deluxe Family Room
The hotel is relatively new and has its own private ski slope, separate from the public, so it's less crowded. The snow-view rooms face the slope directly, and it's quite entertaining to watch people ski from there. Even if you don't ski, you can still walk to the ski area to take photos.

Deluxe 2-bed Room
When I checked in, the front desk attendant had already filled out the ski equipment size form for me. The ski equipment hall on the first floor is exclusively for guests, which is super convenient. When we arrived at the ski hall, the staff had already prepared all our gear, saving us a lot of time and effort. The restaurant on the first floor serves excellent food; we tried various dishes for three consecutive days. There's a QR code in the room for ordering food, so you don't even have to leave to get your meals delivered. A special shout-out to the front desk staff (Zheng Linchun, Sun Yuxin, Li Yan, Teng Yaoxuan); they were incredibly patient and helpful with all the questions my two kids had.

Guestroom (Double Bed)
The hotel is located within the Yabuli Resort Area, very close to various attractions. The hotel service was very warm and welcoming, a real comfort in the cold Yabuli. Even though we arrived late at night, the front desk staff and security guards greeted us warmly. The room was spacious, with a separate shower and toilet, although the bed was a bit firm. The breakfast selection was plentiful, though the serving time was a bit short. A hotel definitely worth revisiting.

Getting to the ski resort was super quick, just 5 minutes away. The hotel service was excellent all around, from the shuttle drivers to the lovely ladies at the front desk, and even the aunties in the restaurant and those who cleaned our room – everyone was so welcoming and helpful. Booking ski and attraction tickets through the hotel manager was also a great deal. My child loved it here, and we'll definitely be choosing this place again next winter season.

The hotel room was clean and very close to the ski slopes. The front desk staff were warm and attentive, and they even offered complimentary handmade dumplings on the first night of the ***** New Year (you could even make them yourself!), which was a great experience. The hotel's shuttle service was fantastic; the driver was super enthusiastic and saved us a lot of hassle. Definitely a huge thumbs-up!
