I have to make this review before the winter ends because this homestay deserves all the guests coming to snow town and snow valley. The hospitality of the owners is beyond imagination, i’m not kidding! They have been extremely helpful in guiding us throughout our travel to snow town and snow valley. We communicate using a translator but it still feels like speaking with a friend. Don’t hesitate to ask questions regarding your trip and the activities that you want to do.
As for us, we booked a 3d/2n stay with them. They helped us maximize our itinerary as well. 2 nights before our tour, the owner gave us the number of bus driver. We paid the bus tickets in advance.
Day 1
8am-2pm - Bus from Harbin to Snow Town (Xuexiang). We left our luggages in the bus. Tickets bought at the entrance. Dont worry about prebooking. Play in Snow Town until 8pm.
8pm - Bus ride from Snow Town to Snow Valley. The bus driver already knows where to drop us. At the bus stop, we were fetched by car and brought to the inn (~2 min ride).
Day 2
9am-4pm Play at Guoxiongling Bear Ridge. For 400rmb/pax, we went up the mountain by snowmobile. We played banana boat drift, snowmobile, some went skiing and a super amazing view! There were also fun group activities! :)
Note: The owner gave us drone videos of ourselves and took pictures of us. He also brought his insta360 and gave us copies of group activities videos. You can also use this during the banana boat drift which would look awesome with insta360.
The owner is also a licensed ski instructed but my husband didn’t want to ski so there’s that. Haha.
We went down around 3pm by snowmobile. At 5pm, we ordered dinner from their restaurant. The Northeastern Fish Stew is amazing!! Try it and thank me later.
After dinner we did the hot water in ice trick for Free! We also had fun talking about traveling and sharing stories of our pets, while having tea, frozen persimmons, peach and sunflower seeds. 🥰
Day 3
Departure date. Bus leaves at 6am and 9am. They booked the bus for us back to harbin. I wish we could have stayed longer!
Room we stayed had a heated Kang bed. The floor had heating too. Toiletries are complete with indoor slippers. Breakfast serving is large! The room is clean, with water heater. On top of that, it’s 1/10th of the price of snow town accommodations. Snow village offers a unique experience away from the glittery lights and sounds of snow town. It is both peaceful and charming.
Thank you Liu Bo and your husband for the awesome stay we had. We truly appreciate it! Thank you for the surprise and gifts as well! :) We hope to see you soon again!

Choosing Nannan Guesthouse for this trip to Snow Valley was definitely the right decision, and the whole experience felt so heartwarming. Coming from the south, we were really afraid of the cold, but when we communicated with the landlady in advance, she gave us detailed travel tips early on and even helped arrange our pickup and drop-off rides. The moment we stepped inside, it was instantly cozy. The heated brick bed (kang) was warmed to perfection—not too hot or stuffy at all. The room was spotlessly clean, the quilts were dry with no dampness, and there was 24-hour hot water in the bathroom so we didn't have to wait to take a shower. The landlady is such a genuine and down-to-earth person; she treated us to frozen pears and frozen persimmons, lent us traditional floral padded jackets for photos, and taught us the best way to capture the boiling water splashing into ice effect. We had our dinners right at the lodge, enjoying hearty portions of authentic Northeastern iron-pot stew. She also gave us great advice on hiking routes in Yangcaoshan and viewing spots at Wusong Ridge, honestly pointing out tourist traps instead of blindly pushing activities. At night, the courtyard was peaceful and quiet, and pushing open the window revealed a vast, white snowy landscape. Coming back after a tiring day for a sound, restful sleep—experiencing such grounded warmth in the middle of a frozen wonderland is truly rare and precious.

Big thanks to Sister Qiu for always responding to our inquiries and to the boss, Hongbo, for the warm hospitality and care. We had a very comfortable and fun four-day, three-night stay (Dec 27-30) in Snow Valley. The warm beds, hot meals, and enjoying all the entertainment activities in Snow Valley and Snow Village gave our group of four an extraordinary winter experience.
At Xiongling in Snow Valley, we tried snowmobiling, snow tubing, skiing, and snow drifting (super thrilling!).
**Friendly reminder**: Please wear sunglasses, a mask, and a snow hat. This will help prevent the cold snow from hitting your face when you're snow drifting. The snow hitting your face is incredibly, unbelievably cold!
For the Yangcaoshan itinerary, I recommend buying tickets for the horse-drawn sled and taking the snowmobile all the way up the mountain. Hiking would be a very long and time-consuming distance. For the second half, we opted to hike down to Snow Village, and the snow scenery along the way was absolutely spectacular, perfect for photos. You can also buy a small sled to enjoy some exciting mini snow runs on the way down.
**The only drawback**: The shower head in the bathroom had low water pressure, so it took a bit longer to shower.

Do not be fooled by the two stars hotel rating when selecting this Homestay. This Homestay offers a different experience as you could wake up seeing snowfall from your window, playing at the slides outside the hotel for the children and enjoying the sumptuous restaurant food behind the hotel in the negative temperature. The Manager of the hotel rendered professional service as she helped us book all the attractions and the driver would pick and send us there. The driver is very experienced and careful when driving in thick snow. The ski resort is near the Homestay which my boys spent 3 hours skiing. In addition, the Manager instructed the kitchen to prepare fries and pop corn chickens specially for my children. Excellent service and we truly enjoyed our stay at this Homestay. Keep up the good work!

As a solo traveler booking, I’m always looking for safety and a peaceful environment. I found this at this hostel. This place is perfectly located, the staff are warm, friendly and helpful. I booked a private room and it was clean and comfortable. Getting around was easy for me and the hostel provided great assistance in answering all questions and giving suggestions.. I truly enjoyed my time in Harbin. I’m looking forward to visiting again.

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.

This trip was great. Thanks to Brother Xiaodong for taking me to many places and introducing special features to me. Going here feels like going home and my mood instantly healed. After eating dumplings, frozen pears and jelly persimmons, Brother Xiaodong was worried about whether I was cold or not and prepared them for me. The big cotton-padded jacket is really considerate

Anonymous UserI wholeheartedly recommend this Guanlan Art-themed high-rise Airbnb! The location is absolutely fantastic, right in the Daowai Baoyu Tianyi Global Harbor. It's really close to Central Street and Chinese Baroque, making it super convenient for exploring and dining out. Getting around is a breeze whether you're taking a taxi, walking, or using the subway. The room was clean with a great view, well-equipped, and the service was excellent. Definitely great value for money, highly recommended!

Staying at this B&B in Yabuli, the moment I walked into the room, I was immediately charmed by the classic Northeastern floral bedding. The room was spotlessly clean, the pillows and duvets neatly folded, and the heating was cranked up – it was freezing outside, but inside I was sweating in just a t-shirt! The comfort was unparalleled. The owner pays attention to every single detail; staying here isn't just about getting a good night's sleep, it's about experiencing genuine Northeastern hospitality.

Extremely satisfied with the room! It was exactly as described, with excellent amenities like disposable towels, a washing machine, and a fridge. The drinks selection was also great, and the price was very reasonable. It’s super close to Central Street, St. Sophia Cathedral, and the Songhua River. My kid even said they want to stay here again next time we’re in Harbin, perhaps in a different themed room! ❤️❤️
