China Snow Town, formerly known as the Shuangfeng Forestry Center, is a good place for visitors and photographers to view the splendid snowscape. This town will go through seven-month snowy period annually from October to next May. Because of the frequent snowfall, the 470-acre land will be covered by snow with an average thickness of 6.6 feet (2 meters) in winter. During that time, this town is turned into a white fairy wonderland. In addition to the beautiful natural scene, visitors can also enjoy the entertainment activities such as skiing, snowballing, and horse-sledding.

Some travelers say there are direct bus from Snow Town to Yabuli West Train Station, but I didn't find the the schedule. The distance is over 100km, I think you need to charter a car there. The cost is about CNY 500 per day. You can negotiate the price with the driver.

The first bus to Snow Town departs at 08:00 from Harbin and stops by Yabuli West Station. The first one back to Harbin leaves at 10:00 from Snow Town. The departure frequency depends on the passenger flow and is not fixed.

The booking is only available on the Chinese WeChat mini-program so it is better to purchase tickets on the bus.
