Itinerary Details
All routes are for reference only, the actual route is subject to the explanation of customer service
The 'snow mushrooms' in Snow Village are shapes formed by snow piling up on wooden fences and eaves, caused by the area's unique snow quality and wind direction. When paired with red lanterns after dark, it is the most photogenic scene of the Northeast winter.
