After six years, I came to China's snow country again, a familiar place, a completely different feeling.
The snow town in winter is a must-visit place to come to Heilongjiang.
Snowy, into the snow country, as if jumping into the silver wrapped fairy tale world, the scenery here can be described as unique in China, the colorful lights in the log cabin at night are even more wonderful, in addition to surprise or surprise!
Xuexiang, also known as Heilongjiang Xuexiang National Forest Park, belongs to the Heilongjiang Provincial Forestry Bureau of the General Bureau of Forest Industry and Forestry, which was once a staff dormitory and has now become a national AAAA-level tourist scenic spot.
The special geographical environment has created a unique climatic phenomenon. Due to the frequent intersection of the cold air of Lake Baikal and the warm and humid air flow of the Sea of Japan, as well as the microclimate influence of the dense forest of the mountains, the strange microclimate of "no three days of sunshine in summer and snow in winter" has been created here, and the snow begins to fall from October to April of the following year, with a snow period of up to 7 months and a snow thickness of about 2 meters. It is precisely in this way that the romantic scenery we can see today has been achieved.
Xuexiang is located in the forest area, under the old bald mountain, the first peak of the "Three Giants of Longjiang", so it is surrounded by mountains. Due to geographical reasons, the traffic is not convenient, and the natural materials are not abundant in winter. People living here, transporting supplies, are most commonly mules, which are almost a traditional means of transport.
On the second day of the Chinese New Year in 2016, I met Xuexiang for the first time.
The road to Xuexiang is not easy to walk, and it takes a long national road to start from Harbin. At that time, when it was snowing, the roads were very dangerous, and in the event of traffic accidents, traffic jams for 2 hours, but such a "village" hidden in the mountains still attracted tens of thousands of tourists.
It was a sea of people at that time, and now six years have passed. On non-weekends, it is convenient to drive all the way from Yabuli. With my friends, I can even experience the feeling of a private room.
The snow descends down the eaves, the light from the lantern hanging high, and the red flame clings to the soft marshmallow, as if in the ice fairy tale world. Here you can experience splashing water into ice, having snowball fights, and building snowmen. The beauty of the snow country is suitable for climbing high and appreciating. Mountain forests, pines, wooden houses, snow and festive red lanterns. This scene in Xuexiang is an unpainted freehand Chinese painting.
The snow-capped snow in the snowy countryside follows the objects and piles up into a variety of mushroom-shaped snow peaks, which complement the typical northeastern houses. On Xueyun Street, dogs are everywhere pulling and climbing plows, two huskies or Alaskans, and ropes tied to their bodies pull on the modified chairs, and visitors can be pulled forward when they sit on the chairs.
Walk on the creaking snow, watch the song of the northeast, experience the bonfire party of a thousand people, and the happiness of a thousand people jumping wild. Sleep in the hot kangtou of the northeast, nibble on the northeast frozen pear, frozen persimmon, frozen grapes! In the winter of the north, the outdoor is a natural big refrigerator, which has its own temper, which makes these, and we rarely see the delicious. (Sneak a tip, these things must remember to thaw before eating, otherwise it may be very toothless)
As night falls, neon lights echo with the snow, accompanied by creaking footsteps, head to the dream home of the castle built with snow. Soft blankets of snow, bulging snow mushrooms. The white and fat snow house makes people can't help but want to stay here for a while.
Pines are evergreen, and snow presses the branches.
Such a beautiful scenery is the magic work of nature and the most beautiful gift that nature has given to mankind.
