Snow Valley is located in the construction area of Dongsheng Forest Farm, Shanhe Town Forestry Bureau, Wuchang City, Harbin City, Heilongjiang Province. The snow valley covers an area of 14,654 hectares in total, with an average snow depth of 1 to 3 meters.
Snow Valley is also known as Dongsheng Forest Farm. It is separated from the Snow Country (ie. Shuangfeng Forest Farm) by a mountain of Leymus Chinensis. Usually, the trekking route from the Snow Valley to the Snow Country refers to crossing the mountain of Leymus. Many tourists prefer Snow Valley after they have been to the Snow Valley to the Snow Country, because it has not been deeply commercialized so far, so it is simpler and more original.
The Snow Valley is a small mountain village, and you can visit it in less than an hour. After driving into the small village, there is a small hill on the left hand side of the village, and you can walk across a bridge, where you can overlook the whole village. In the evening, the scenery of the snow valley is the most charming. The setting sun and the smoky smoke restore the scene of the most primitive village in the northeast, and it looks like a Chinese ink painting.
Many tourists will choose to go to the Snow Valley from Harbin for a group or charter car, and hike up the mountain of Leymus the next morning to experience Yang Zirong’s journey through the forest sea and snowy plains in the film of “Take the Tiger Mountain”. Over the mountain, you will arrive at the Snow Country. On the way, you will pass the top of Leymus Chinensis. The snowy field here is very open, with few trees and good snow quality. You can take pictures of the magnificent landscape of blue sky and white snow, and it is also a resort for watching the sunrise.
The Snow Country is located on the sunny side of the mountain of Leymus, and the Snow Valley is on the dark side of the mountain. Therefore, the snow in this area will be thicker in winter. When crossing the Mountain, you must be careful not to leave the main road and go deep into the mountains, let alone enter the mountain. This small village has a small population. Many people in the village run hotels and also have a kiosk selling food and common equipment.
