2-Star Hotels in Daxing'anling

I only saw the aurora because I booked this hotel! When I looked up from the bridge leading to the hotel, everything around me was a bit bright. At first, I thought it was light pollution, but then I noticed several taxi drivers getting out to film it. It wasn't until many locals came over to look and take pictures that we realized it was the aurora. If I had stayed at a different hotel, I probably wouldn't have seen it. The room was large, and the bathroom was nice. The wooden decorations looked a bit old-fashioned in photos, but they weren't at all. There was also a cat and a dog. The owner didn't actively solicit good reviews; this is entirely a subjective assessment.

Our family drove to Beihong Village, the northernmost village in China, and stayed at Shangbei Family Inn. The rooms were clean and tidy, and the bedding was changed after each guest. You can order food, and the vegetables are picked fresh from the garden. The food tasted just like home and was very comforting. The atmosphere was great chatting and relaxing with other guests. The owner was warm and sincere. I highly recommend staying here!

The owner was very kind; he picked us up from the bus station and drove us to buy tickets when we left. The room was really clean, and knowing we were sensitive to the cold, he arranged the warmest room for us. It had underfloor heating, and the toilet was heated and fully automatic. We heard there was an aurora borealis, and the owner said he would definitely let us know if it happened and would take us there, so we wouldn't have to wait there freezing. He was very considerate throughout the trip, even telling us where to go and recommending restaurants. Most importantly, they offer free water-to-ice water-splashing service, and you can do it for as long as you want, right in the hotel's backyard.

I absolutely love this guesthouse! It's clean, comfortable, and they thoughtfully provide disposable toiletries for guests. The decor makes it feel like you're staying in a cabin abroad. The breakfast is delicious too. There's even a little courtyard outside the guesthouse that's perfect for photos, you can even try the 'splashing water into ice' trick there. I'll definitely stay here again next time! 😊

I have to give this hotel a huge shout-out! From check-in to check-out, the service was incredibly thoughtful, and the staff were always ready to help. The biggest surprise was being able to do laundry, which is super practical for anyone on a longer road trip – it solved a major headache. Parking was also incredibly convenient; no need to hunt for a spot, you just park right downstairs, which is hassle-free and secure. The environment is really comfortable, clean, and tidy; the hygiene is impeccable, and the bedding feels fresh, making for a very pleasant stay. The owner is also incredibly warm and friendly, chatting with us like a friend and even proactively recommending great local spots. The whole experience was top-notch! I'll definitely stay here again next time I visit, and I highly recommend it to everyone~

This is an absolutely amazing guesthouse! 👍 Even before we got off the train, the owner started calling us frantically, worried we'd get ripped off. We originally booked a double room, but he upgraded us to a family suite. The room was very clean and comfortable. After showing us around, he took us everywhere – feeding reindeer, playing in the snow at his secret spot, and treating us to delicious food. The sweet and sour pork was absolutely fantastic! He even showed us how to make water freeze instantly – all for free, unlike the cheap places outside. Breakfast was included the next morning – the pickled vegetables made by the Russian auntie were incredibly tasty! The owner also helped us avoid many bad restaurants. In short, book this place with us! Highly recommended!

A Southern Girl's Winter Wonderland in Mohe! This Unique Hotel is Absolutely Photogenic! ✨ As a Southern girl who loves taking photos and having fun, my best friend and I were absolutely blown away by the winter wonderland of Mohe! This hotel was a huge bonus, its unique charm was simply amazing! It's not your typical budget hotel; the winter theme blends perfectly with the local style, creating a wonderful atmosphere. The wooden elements paired with warm lighting, against the backdrop of the snow-covered landscape, make every snapshot a masterpiece. Nine photos on social media aren't enough! The room was clean and cozy. In Mohe, where temperatures are tens of degrees below zero, being enveloped in warmth upon entering was pure bliss! After a day of winter activities, returning to the hotel to relax was a dream come true for hedonists! Immersing yourself in the romance of the northern winter landscape while enjoying a high-quality stay, I've already raved about it to all my friends planning a trip to Mohe. It's definitely worth it—just go for it!

”Don't judge a book by its cover.” This saying is truly accurate to the houses in the village. They appear to transport you back to a time when homes were constructed with simple materials. The outside really showed the actual village style from a long time ago; however, what was more interesting was the modernization of the interior designs inside the house. The Arctic Village definitely reminded me of the simplicity of earlier eras. Moreover, people there were really nice. And to auntie and uncle, who were the best hosts, thank you so much for your kindness. I really appreciate the bbq and the experience of eating breakfast with the Chinese people. I will definitely comeback in the future. To those who wish to stay comfortably while traveling. I heartily recommend this place.Wish you all the best. Until we meet again 😀

I'm not a shill, not a shill, not a shill! I saw a triple room available at Mubei Guesthouse late at night while browsing online, so I booked it. I added the owner on WeChat to ask about carpooling. The owner was incredibly enthusiastic, explaining the itinerary to me. Upon arrival, he took us on the North-South route of Beiji Village (provided the owner was home and not busy). The owner's mother runs the guesthouse, which is exceptionally clean. You can see the sheets she washes and hangs to dry in the rooms every day. It's also incredibly warm inside, warm enough to sleep without a blanket. There's a large courtyard in the back where you can splash water and have fun in the morning! The next day, we shared a car with the owner to Baihualin Longjiang First Bend. They weren't rushing us at all and let us take lots of photos and enjoy the trip. Oh, and there's a very friendly little dog that lets you pet it—super well-behaved. In short, I was very lucky to stay at Mubei Guesthouse; the owner and his aunt are truly wonderful and genuine people. I'll definitely stay at Mubei again next time. Happy New Year and best wishes to the owner and his family for a prosperous business!!! #Hygiene

While scrolling through Xiaohongshu for travel tips, I stumbled upon a photo of this place featuring motorcycle travelers – helmets hanging on the wall, group photos of fellow adventurers – and it instantly resonated with me. Driven by an impulse, I set off, and the moment I walked through the door, I wasn't disappointed. The walls weren't just adorned with photos of motorcycle enthusiasts checking in; there were also postcards and handwritten letters from guests all over the world. These messages conveyed sentiments ranging from the exhilaration of riding thousands of kilometers to the joy of seeing the aurora for the first time. It felt like stepping into a 'spiritual gathering place' for passionate travelers, where even the air hummed with the warmth of dream-chasing. Settling in, I felt even more at ease. Both the room and public areas were spotlessly clean and tidy. The bedding was neat and odorless, there was no clutter on the tables or floor, and even the smallest details in the corners were meticulously maintained. This cleanliness wasn't a forced orderliness, but rather a comfortable ease that instantly melted away much of my travel fatigue. What truly touched me was the human warmth here. The front desk staff were enthusiastic and genuine, taking the initiative to chat with us about travel routes in Beiji Village, sharing aurora forecasts, and offering photography tips. The hotel even provided free hot water and ladles, allowing us to experience the fun of 'splashing water into ice.' Everyone else at the hotel was also very friendly. Occasionally, when chatting with other travelers in the common area, the feeling of being strangers vanished instantly. In the biting cold winds of the far north, 'Motorcycle Enthusiast Home' wasn't just a clean and comfortable place to stay; it fulfilled my passion for motorcycling and allowed me to experience an unexpected warmth.
