-China Snow Valley
Situated on the same mountain peak as the famous "China's Snow Town," China Snow Valley is located on the north slope, while China's Snow Town is situated on the south slope. In winter, China Snow Valley typically experiences an average snow depth ranging from 1 to 3 meters. Within China Snow Valley stands the highest peak in Heilongjiang Province, known as Datuzi Mountain (Big Bald Man Mountain). With an elevation of 1690 meters, the mountain peak is covered with snow in June and witnesses snowflakes falling in October. The summit, which is flat, has earned the nickname "China's Mount Fuji." The snowscape in this area is stunning, featuring rime ice, crystal-clear ice formations, and unique rocks and trees embellished by falling snow, all contributing to breathtaking views.
