Xuexiang Village, which literally means snow village, a once State-owned impoverished forestry farm located in China's northernmost province of Heilongjiang, has been transformed into a booming tourist resort, thanks to its forest resources and vision.
Formerly known as Shuangfeng forestry farm, the village is located at the southern foot of Changbai mountain. The snow here starts falling in October and begins to melt in April due to the influence of Siberian cold front and warm current from the Sea of Japan.
An unusual scene that is unique to the village is the "snow mushrooms", which are formed after sticky snow falls onto wood piles. Together with log cabins, pine trees and snowy mountains, the place looks like a fairy tale world.
雪村,一个坐落在黑龙江的农场变成的童话世界
雪乡村,名符其实的雪村,一个曾经荒废的林场,坐落在中国的最北的省份黑龙江省.现在这里成为火爆的旅游景点而被提起,多亏它的森林资源和美景.
它的原名叫做双峰农场,这个坐落在长白山南边的山脚下的一个村庄,这里的雪从10月开始落下,4月开始融化,受到西伯利亚寒流和来自日本海的暖流.
这里有有个一个不常见的独一无二的景色叫雪蘑菇,它们成型在粘的雪掉落在木桩上以后.小木屋,松树和雪山,使得这个地方看起来像童话世界.
