We had an absolutely wonderful stay and felt truly well taken care of throughout our time here. Special thanks to Qiu Jie, who was always responsive and patient in answering our many questions via WeChat — her support made planning everything so much smoother. We’re also deeply grateful to the boss, Hongbo, for his warm hospitality and genuine care; it truly felt like staying with family rather than at a commercial accommodation.
Everyone we met — including the chef and our drivers — was extremely kind, friendly, and attentive. They were always ready to help with arrangements such as transportation and ticket bookings, and did so with great sincerity. We were also thoughtfully provided with frozen fruits, which was a lovely and refreshing treat after spending time outdoors in the cold.
The location is about a 2-hour drive from Snow Town, and we loved being away from the busy, crowded tourist area. The peaceful rural surroundings allowed us to experience local life at a slower pace, complemented by delicious farm-to-table home-cooked meals. The hosts even taught us how to do the hot water splash, which was a fun and memorable experience in the freezing winter weather. As a bonus, there’s also a cute little deer in the backyard, which added an unexpected and delightful touch to our stay.
They helped us book a visit to Gou Xiong Ling (¥400 per person, inclusive of transportation, entrance fee, and all rides). The snow activities — snowmobiling, snow tubing, snow drifting — were great fun, and we appreciated that photos and videos were taken and shared with us afterward.
In addition, they assisted with ticketing and arrangements for our visit to Snow Town, including crossing Yangcaoshan by horse-drawn sled, taking a snowmobile up the mountain, and then a jeep ride down (with the option to walk down as well). Transportation back from Snow Town was also smoothly arranged.
Overall, this stay offered not just comfort, but a truly warm, authentic, and thoughtfully curated experience. Highly recommended for travelers who value genuine hospitality, local experiences, and a peaceful alternative to the crowds of Snow Town.
I really enjoy staying here. The host was very nice. The room is clean and comfortable. There are a lot of activities we can do here. Beautiful place to visit .
My trip to Snow Valley was amazing, made even better by a wonderful host. My friends and I stayed at Kuolanting Inn, and the service was excellent—even before the trip began. From the moment we arrived, the host’s hospitality made us feel truly at home.
All the activities were well arranged by the host and were absolutely amazing. I would highly recommend staying here, as the host genuinely provides outstanding care and attention. Do stay here—you won’t regret it, and you’ll bring home unforgettable memories.
The room were spacious & clean. If the services allowed to give 100stars, I would definitely go for the max! Awesome services from the owner & family. They were really friendly and welcoming. For a first timer like us visiting Harbin, definitely not a worries under their care. 謝謝你,小黑妹! 有緣再見。再來哈爾濱的話,我們一定聯絡您✨感恩你這兩天的照顧🙏🏻
We love staying at Snow Village so much and decided to stay there for 4D3N. Chosen Xinfu Inn after long consideration. We are family of 6 with young kids so we prioritize a place where kids can enjoy playing snow to the fullest. The view was so nice. There is frozen river in front of the inn and a hill at the back of the inn with the snow slides made by the host with a nice landscaping. The host really helpful and treated us like their family-guest. Communication before the stay and during the stay was using WeChat and Google translate 😅. They helped to book bus from Harbin-Xuegu (Snow Village), pay direct to them (CN¥80 one way) using Alipay. They have 2 inns. The first room we booked was the new inn which around 800metres from the main inn. The new inn has modern kang bed and toilet but no play area and lawn to play snow, we have decided to move to the main inn and the host and hostess are happy to move us to the main inn. But the room in the main inn more traditional. The kang bed using old fashioned heating method - wood-burning-stove with bricks that retain the heat. It was very hot with just a layer of thick quilts. Feels like a hot sauna when laying on it. So we can't really sleep at night when the heat still ”fresh”, especially at the side of the bed where the wood is burned. If you sleep at the end of the bed it is much better. And for us personally with one layer of quilt the bed is so hard and not comfortable but it is good experience to live like the locals. The kids really love the snow slides built by the host at the back of the inn. Since we are Muslim, we informed the hostess to prepare food that we can eat - rice, eggs and tofu. The hostess all really understanding and always friendly and loves to play with the kids. The host helped took a nice picture of us with firework but we missed to have a picture playing hot water turned ice. The host helped to book a bus to Snow Town on the third day. Departed at 1pm and back to the Snow Village at 8pm. All the charted bus from Harbin or to Snow Town will come pickup at the front of the inn. Really convenient. We did not go to Wusonglin, instead we went to the local play area where we can play anytime anyday with only one time entrace fees. It just besides the new inn and there are skis, snowboard, snow mobile, ice skating and many mores. With kids, it is really recommended. We truly enjoyed staying at Xinfu inn and will come back in future maybe in other seasons to enjoy the view of the river.
This hotel very recommended, all good , good staff , good service and feel like at home . If i come back to snow village i will stay in this hotel again ❤️

ゲゲストINCREDIABLE INN!
We travel for just a day here.
We left our luggage at our booked hotel at harbin, we travel back pack, morning 6am sharp bus from Harbin central street and arrived at the inn about 10:30-45 ish. And back to harbin 7am the next day arrived at harbin close to 12pm.
The Inn location was fantastic, just a 2-minute walk to the main road where all the food and shops are located. The owner was incredibly kind and, even though we couldn't communicate in Chinese, she was very adept at using Google Translate. We managed to communicate very well, and her caring nature reminded me of my mom, so I ended up calling her ”mama.”
For Muslim Traveller just get ready your translation telling owner that you only eat vege. She will cater for it. On main street you can get sweet patato and can drink lots sort of things. If you unable to eat vege, get couple of ready meal prep from your country, as hot water is provided by the inn.
Overall, it was a pleasant stay. To get here, make sure to contact the owner, who will arrange everything from Harbin to the hotel and vice versa. For those who can't speak Mandarin, make a note of the inn's location on your map and inform the driver of your destination, asking them to prompt you when you arrive. While drivers do announce locations upon arrival, it's better to inform them beforehand using Google Translate, especially if you don't understand Chinese.
Overall, the journey and hotel stay were superb. The activities in Wusongling were mesmerizing. There's no need to go to Europe, when you can experience snowmobile rides and stunning scenery here at a much cheaper price even in euro you are unable to do so. All arrangements will be made by the owner. Simply you need to prepare $$$. Simply superb!

ゲゲストI chanced upon Yilaikezhan by chance after knowing the snow town was closed. So I searched for an alternative and after booking, the boss got in contact with me and helped me arranged transport to pick me up from airport to his place.
It was a scenic drive and the driver was great and very helpful. We were hungry and he stopped by for us to grab some food before heading to the guesthouse.
Upon arrival, we were greeted by the super friendly and hospitable host. The room is neat and tidy, comfortable bed with a heater that i realised by chance. Although we arrived late in Mar and most of the places, the snow has melted, but magically there are some really nice snow scenery for photo taking.
There is a really lovely river just infront of the guesthouse, where the view is really enchanting. The food served by the lady host is super delicious but it came it really huge portion that we felt bad not able to finish. We have small stomach to begin with.
The next day, the boss drove us into the mountain to see some really nice snow, at least knee height. Really beautiful and along the way, we saw cows. Stopped again for photo taking.
It was an enjoyable and unforgettable experience.
The stay, the food the hospitality is top notch!
This has been the highlight of our trip and would come here for another stay when we make another trip back to harbin.
RRoy2010I really enjoy staying here. The host was very nice. The room is clean and comfortable. There are a lot of activities we can do here. Beautiful place to visit .
