Pet friendly hotels in Heilongjiang, China

I have to make this review before the winter ends because this homestay deserves all the guests coming to snow town and snow valley. The hospitality of the owners is beyond imagination, i’m not kidding! They have been extremely helpful in guiding us throughout our travel to snow town and snow valley. We communicate using a translator but it still feels like speaking with a friend. Don’t hesitate to ask questions regarding your trip and the activities that you want to do. As for us, we booked a 3d/2n stay with them. They helped us maximize our itinerary as well. 2 nights before our tour, the owner gave us the number of bus driver. We paid the bus tickets in advance. Day 1 8am-2pm - Bus from Harbin to Snow Town (Xuexiang). We left our luggages in the bus. Tickets bought at the entrance. Dont worry about prebooking. Play in Snow Town until 8pm. 8pm - Bus ride from Snow Town to Snow Valley. The bus driver already knows where to drop us. At the bus stop, we were fetched by car and brought to the inn (~2 min ride). Day 2 9am-4pm Play at Guoxiongling Bear Ridge. For 400rmb/pax, we went up the mountain by snowmobile. We played banana boat drift, snowmobile, some went skiing and a super amazing view! There were also fun group activities! :) Note: The owner gave us drone videos of ourselves and took pictures of us. He also brought his insta360 and gave us copies of group activities videos. You can also use this during the banana boat drift which would look awesome with insta360. The owner is also a licensed ski instructed but my husband didn’t want to ski so there’s that. Haha. We went down around 3pm by snowmobile. At 5pm, we ordered dinner from their restaurant. The Northeastern Fish Stew is amazing!! Try it and thank me later. After dinner we did the hot water in ice trick for Free! We also had fun talking about traveling and sharing stories of our pets, while having tea, frozen persimmons, peach and sunflower seeds. 🥰 Day 3 Departure date. Bus leaves at 6am and 9am. They booked the bus for us back to harbin. I wish we could have stayed longer! Room we stayed had a heated Kang bed. The floor had heating too. Toiletries are complete with indoor slippers. Breakfast serving is large! The room is clean, with water heater. On top of that, it’s 1/10th of the price of snow town accommodations. Snow village offers a unique experience away from the glittery lights and sounds of snow town. It is both peaceful and charming. Thank you Liu Bo and your husband for the awesome stay we had. We truly appreciate it! Thank you for the surprise and gifts as well! :) We hope to see you soon again!

Choosing Nannan Guesthouse for this trip to Snow Valley was definitely the right decision, and the whole experience felt so heartwarming. Coming from the south, we were really afraid of the cold, but when we communicated with the landlady in advance, she gave us detailed travel tips early on and even helped arrange our pickup and drop-off rides. The moment we stepped inside, it was instantly cozy. The heated brick bed (kang) was warmed to perfection—not too hot or stuffy at all. The room was spotlessly clean, the quilts were dry with no dampness, and there was 24-hour hot water in the bathroom so we didn't have to wait to take a shower. The landlady is such a genuine and down-to-earth person; she treated us to frozen pears and frozen persimmons, lent us traditional floral padded jackets for photos, and taught us the best way to capture the boiling water splashing into ice effect. We had our dinners right at the lodge, enjoying hearty portions of authentic Northeastern iron-pot stew. She also gave us great advice on hiking routes in Yangcaoshan and viewing spots at Wusong Ridge, honestly pointing out tourist traps instead of blindly pushing activities. At night, the courtyard was peaceful and quiet, and pushing open the window revealed a vast, white snowy landscape. Coming back after a tiring day for a sound, restful sleep—experiencing such grounded warmth in the middle of a frozen wonderland is truly rare and precious.

Big thanks to Sister Qiu for always responding to our inquiries and to the boss, Hongbo, for the warm hospitality and care. We had a very comfortable and fun four-day, three-night stay (Dec 27-30) in Snow Valley. The warm beds, hot meals, and enjoying all the entertainment activities in Snow Valley and Snow Village gave our group of four an extraordinary winter experience. At Xiongling in Snow Valley, we tried snowmobiling, snow tubing, skiing, and snow drifting (super thrilling!). **Friendly reminder**: Please wear sunglasses, a mask, and a snow hat. This will help prevent the cold snow from hitting your face when you're snow drifting. The snow hitting your face is incredibly, unbelievably cold! For the Yangcaoshan itinerary, I recommend buying tickets for the horse-drawn sled and taking the snowmobile all the way up the mountain. Hiking would be a very long and time-consuming distance. For the second half, we opted to hike down to Snow Village, and the snow scenery along the way was absolutely spectacular, perfect for photos. You can also buy a small sled to enjoy some exciting mini snow runs on the way down. **The only drawback**: The shower head in the bathroom had low water pressure, so it took a bit longer to shower.

We had an amazing stay at Zurik Homestay and would highly recommend it to anyone coming to Yabuli for skiing or snowboarding. From the moment we arrived, the host made us feel incredibly welcome. They kindly arranged pickup and drop‑off from Harbin West Railway Station, which made traveling with winter gear completely stress‑free. The rooms were spacious, clean, and very comfortable, perfect for resting after long days on the slopes. The homestay is warm and cozy even in the coldest weather, and the staff were friendly, attentive, and always happy to help, communicating clearly in Chinese and making sure all our needs were met. One of the highlights was the breakfast — extremely diverse, generous, and filling, giving us plenty of energy for a full day of skiing. Another unforgettable part of the stay was their super cute and very friendly dog, who quickly became everyone’s favorite and added so much warmth to the experience. We also really appreciated that the hosts were open to feedback and genuinely interested in improving the rooms and overall experience to better cater to snowboard and ski guests — a rare and thoughtful touch. For guests who prefer a relaxed evening, we highly recommend walking across the frozen lake to their restaurant for dinner. The 铁锅炖 is excellent — especially the goose or freshly caught fish from the lake. It’s hearty, delicious, and perfect for a cold winter night. Overall, Zurik Homestay felt less like accommodation and more like a home away from home. We would absolutely stay here again and recommend it to anyone visiting Yabuli. 这次入住 Zurik 民宿的体验真的非常棒，强烈推荐给来亚布力滑雪或单板的朋友！ 从一开始就感受到房东满满的热情与用心，提供哈尔滨西站接送服务，对携带滑雪装备的我们来说非常方便、省心。 房间 宽敞、干净、舒适，在寒冷的冬天里依然非常温暖，是滑雪后放松休息的理想空间。工作人员 细心、友善、反应迅速，全程中文沟通顺畅，让人感觉非常安心。 早餐是惊喜之一，种类丰富、分量十足，每天都吃得很满足，为一整天的滑雪补充满满能量。民宿里还有一只 超级可爱又亲人的狗狗，真的为整个入住体验加分不少，让人心都融化了。 特别值得一提的是，房东非常 愿意听取客人的建议，也在不断优化房间和服务，努力让滑雪、单板的客人住得更舒适，这点真的很难得。 如果不想外出折腾，强烈推荐 走过结冰的湖面去他们自家的餐厅吃晚餐。铁锅炖非常好吃，尤其推荐 大鹅或湖里现捞的鱼，暖胃又满足，非常适合寒冷的夜晚。 总的来说，Zurik 民宿不仅仅是住宿，更像是 在亚布力的一个温暖的家。下次来亚布力，一定还会选择这里，也会推荐给朋友。

As a solo traveler booking, I’m always looking for safety and a peaceful environment. I found this at this hostel. This place is perfectly located, the staff are warm, friendly and helpful. I booked a private room and it was clean and comfortable. Getting around was easy for me and the hostel provided great assistance in answering all questions and giving suggestions.. I truly enjoyed my time in Harbin. I’m looking forward to visiting again.

While scrolling through Xiaohongshu for travel tips, I stumbled upon a photo of this place featuring motorcycle travelers – helmets hanging on the wall, group photos of fellow adventurers – and it instantly resonated with me. Driven by an impulse, I set off, and the moment I walked through the door, I wasn't disappointed. The walls weren't just adorned with photos of motorcycle enthusiasts checking in; there were also postcards and handwritten letters from guests all over the world. These messages conveyed sentiments ranging from the exhilaration of riding thousands of kilometers to the joy of seeing the aurora for the first time. It felt like stepping into a 'spiritual gathering place' for passionate travelers, where even the air hummed with the warmth of dream-chasing. Settling in, I felt even more at ease. Both the room and public areas were spotlessly clean and tidy. The bedding was neat and odorless, there was no clutter on the tables or floor, and even the smallest details in the corners were meticulously maintained. This cleanliness wasn't a forced orderliness, but rather a comfortable ease that instantly melted away much of my travel fatigue. What truly touched me was the human warmth here. The front desk staff were enthusiastic and genuine, taking the initiative to chat with us about travel routes in Beiji Village, sharing aurora forecasts, and offering photography tips. The hotel even provided free hot water and ladles, allowing us to experience the fun of 'splashing water into ice.' Everyone else at the hotel was also very friendly. Occasionally, when chatting with other travelers in the common area, the feeling of being strangers vanished instantly. In the biting cold winds of the far north, 'Motorcycle Enthusiast Home' wasn't just a clean and comfortable place to stay; it fulfilled my passion for motorcycling and allowed me to experience an unexpected warmth.

This trip was great. Thanks to Brother Xiaodong for taking me to many places and introducing special features to me. Going here feels like going home and my mood instantly healed. After eating dumplings, frozen pears and jelly persimmons, Brother Xiaodong was worried about whether I was cold or not and prepared them for me. The big cotton-padded jacket is really considerate

The decor is really stylish. I brought a bunch of stuff to have hotpot with friends, and I thought checking in would be a hassle, but it was all self-check-in and went smoothly. I got straight into the room. The interior is very clean, you can tell a lot of thought went into it, even the nooks and crannies are spotless. The customer service was also great, they answered all my questions, and food delivery came right to the door. Best of all, the subway station is right downstairs – it couldn't be more convenient! Easy transportation, excellent facilities, and the host was wonderful. It was truly a great stay, and I really felt the warmth of the people of Harbin [thumbs up emoji]. Wishing the owner prosperity, hope to see you next time!

Staying at this B&B in Yabuli, the moment I walked into the room, I was immediately charmed by the classic Northeastern floral bedding. The room was spotlessly clean, the pillows and duvets neatly folded, and the heating was cranked up – it was freezing outside, but inside I was sweating in just a t-shirt! The comfort was unparalleled. The owner pays attention to every single detail; staying here isn't just about getting a good night's sleep, it's about experiencing genuine Northeastern hospitality.

Traveling with a family of five, three adults and two children. They thoughtfully upgraded our room to one with an ocean pool and a slide – the kids were absolutely thrilled! The smart toilet was a nice touch, and I have to give a shout-out to the Casarte water heater. Whether showering or taking a bath, the water pressure was amazing and heated up super fast. The hotel's location is also excellent, right next to the Baroque-style street. We'd often take a stroll there after dinner. If you're driving, there's free parking nearby, but it's a bit hit or miss.
