Not all fairy tales are deceiving, as one can witness the northernmost snow, in search of Christmas and reindeer
The Santa Village located in the Arctic Village of Mohe, although a newly opened attraction, also encapsulates a bit of the ice and snow world. It has the romance of fairy tales as well as the charm of the snowy country. Although the park is not large, it's an advantage that there are fewer people, allowing for a quiet photo session. Inside the cabin, there's also a Santa Claus who can write things for everyone, which is kind of a little feature. Near the Santa Village, there is also a small ski resort, quite suitable for beginners, and not too crowded, making it a nice first stop upon reaching Mohe.

What should a southerner pay attention to when traveling to Harbin for the first time? Is there a travel guide?
Ice and Snow World 1. It is recommended to buy a VIP ticket for over 800, which is free of queuing all the way. We thought it was unnecessary at the time, it was okay to queue up, so we bought one for over 300.
We really queued for 6 hours on the big slide, cold and tired, it was really uncomfortable. And in the end, there was no time to go to the Ferris wheel (because there were also many people queuing up) which means we played the slide once for over 300.
2. The temperature in Harbin was okay during the days we were there, and it was enough to wear a base layer + thermal underwear + fleece jacket + storm jacket and pants + earmuffs + gloves.
But if you want to queue in the Ice and Snow World, you still need to bring a down jacket. We felt stupid when we went out with the down jacket, but we found it was wise at night.
3. It's hard to take pictures in the Ice and Snow World, the scenery is too big, and when the lights are on, it's basically backlit shooting.
4. If you want to take pictures, try to buy larger clothes, because with hats and various clothes stacked, people will swell a size, and if you buy too small, you will look fat.
5. The heating insoles work.
6. If you want to rent a snow ring in the Ice and Snow World, rent it after playing the big slide and Ferris wheel, because you can't bring it in, we can only put it outside, and it was indeed lost.
7. Girls queue up for the toilet until they doubt life, it is said that some people deliberately stay inside for half an hour because it is too cold outside.
8. If you want to go to the toilet while queuing for the big slide, it is recommended to find a staff member, if you go out by yourself, the people behind may not let you in.
9. If you plan to come to Mohe, the Christmas Village is a substitute, the ticket is low, there are also small slides and various ice sculptures, and Santa Claus, and there are few people, you can play to your heart's content. It's just that there is no Ferris wheel.

What is it like to ride a 30,000 yuan ice and snow train?
Wake up in a cozy and private room in the morning, open the curtains and see a fairy tale world covered in silver. The northern landscape of birch forests, broad-leaved pines, grasslands, and glaciers presents itself before you like a movie.
Although it's minus 50 degrees Celsius outside the car, it's warm as spring inside, with a constant temperature of 25 degrees Celsius and thoughtful itinerary arrangements and care from the vacation ambassador, which allows us to comfortably experience this rare eco-tour.

Many friends have asked me if I feel bored on the train. On the Hulunbuir train, there is everything you need for eating, drinking, and entertainment. They have brought a five-star hotel onto the train, and in the dining car, you can taste different types of Chinese, Mongolian, and Western cuisine for three meals a day. My favorite is the beef and mutton from Inner Mongolia, which is juicy and delicious without any gamey taste. Each dish is a delight when cooked by the chef on board, and even the tableware is specially customized by an Italian handmade brand. Eating delicious food while enjoying the scenery is full of ritualistic feeling 🍴 and is a unique and exclusive journey.
You can also invite friends to compete for the title of singing king on the KVT in the salon car, and enjoy the snowy scenery outside the window with a drink at the bar. If you prefer quietness, you can read a book in the reading area, immerse yourself in the beautiful scenery and have a conversation with your soul. There are also trips to niche destinations and cultural explorations under the car, making every day fulfilling.

Arrive at Mohe, the northernmost point of China, and search for various "northern" things here, such as the 138th boundary marker of China and Russia, the northernmost post office, the northernmost sentry post, the northernmost family, etc. Take a photo with Santa Claus from Rovaniemi, Finland in the Christmas Village. Ride on the local primitive transportation tool, horse-drawn plow 🐎, which is said to be faster than driving in the snow. Lie down and enjoy the scenery under a festive flower quilt, which can only be experienced in Northeast China. Visit the homes of Northeasterners in the Arctic Village, where every household makes ice lanterns as decorations for the New Year. Sitting on the kang, you must try the authentic frozen pear, which will amaze you as a southerner.
