Tickets are hard to get, but I was lucky to meet a soldier who swapped seats with me. The beautiful scenery is outside the train, and the view from inside is not as good, but the whole trip is about the journey. I met some like-minded people in the same compartment, and it was fun to make friends. There are several trains, so you don't have to focus on just one. I chose trains that would allow me to enjoy the scenery the next morning. The return flight was very convenient, but there are not many flights. I recommend taking a flight if you can't get a ticket for the Snow Country Train. 🗓Itinerary: I booked a private car tour on Trip.com, which was very convenient. I booked the hotel and planned the itinerary myself. You can also ask the local guide to plan the itinerary for you, which may be more reasonable. The itinerary can be adjusted at any time, and the price was reasonable. Overall, it was a good experience. 🏨Hotel environment: I stayed at "Beiji Village Fengyue Zhi Yue Hotel". I didn't stay in a homestay this time. The hotel is a bit far from the village, but it's only a 10-minute walk to the square. The hotel room is large and comfortable, and the breakfast is good. Homestays should also be good. The friends I met on the train all stayed in homestays and had a good experience. You can choose according to your preference. 🍽Dining recommendations: The food recommended by several major apps is good, and the local guide's recommendations are also good. It mainly depends on how much you like northeastern cuisine. I'm a meat lover, so as long as there's meat, I'm happy. I had iron pot stew and chicken stew with mushrooms, and there was no problem ordering dishes based on the amount of meat. 💗Other tips: 1. The hotel should provide equipment for throwing water to make ice. It's best to use theirs, as professional equipment can guarantee good results. 2. You don't need to wear too many layers. With a car accompanying you, you won't be outside for too long. It's comfortable when the sun is out. 3. Check the weather in advance, and hope for the best when it comes to seeing the aurora.
