When I went, the only train from Harbin Station to Yabuli South left around seven in the morning. I woke up and went back to sleep :D By nine the tickets from Harbin Station were gone, so I booked from Harbin West instead.
The ticket came by email. I checked Trip in Alipay for the gate, B8–B9.
I took two metro trains between Harbin Station and Harbin West. I only found the public transport route after switching to a Chinese network and looking it up in Apple Maps.
From line 1 red to line 3 yellow there is free transfer but because I did not know how to buy tickets so I have to buy twice : D
When you get to the end of the point, there will be a walkway to the station, no need to go outside the street, after you pass the security check, find the door to the train, about 30-45' in the train will not run so go find a place to buy food, to visit China is also fun: D
It's getting snowier.
I took the express train to Yabuli west station, it took about 1h15', if I took the regular train it would take about 3 hours, there will be a bus going to Yabuli south railway station (near the ski area). I read on chinadiscovery.com that the price is free but when you get on the bus see the qr code you know you lost money: D, 5 yuan. I didn't know where the bus was going, but it stopped near the hostel I booked, so I got off, and I lost a glove when I got off too quickly.
The walkway into the village.
When booking the room I found the price ok, all around the snow so book, not concerned about the comfort, location. I went to the location on Trip but I couldn't find it, I went into someone else's yard, snow deep to the heels, wet shoes but I still couldn'ts find it, so I asked the locals for a direction.
I liked the snow so much that I ran out to play, but after a few minutes I had to hurry in because it was so cold.
This hostel cat came into my room and broke the roof, I gave him a sausage and then I chased him out.
8:00 pm I went out for a walk and saw snow, I thought it wouldn't snow, so I was pretty surprised, I went out and forgot to close the door:D
Take your camera and you'll get a nice picture:D This village is small, walk from the beginning of the village to the end of the village and back.
That evening I went for hotpot on my own. There was a Vietnamese tour group in the restaurant, but I kept that to myself :D Tomato hotpot, a plate of beef, mushrooms and a beer came to 150 yuan, over 500,000 đồng.
