Neyin Ancient City Travel Recommendations for 2023 (Updated in Sep)
Not Your Typical Ancient Town in China!
NeYin Ancient Town (讷殷古城 nèyīn gǔchéng) is just so different than all the other ancient towns I’ve seen in China. The gate is decorated with bull’s skulls and the houses inside actually look modern (and it seems like you can book those houses to stay overnight!).
Upon entering the area, you’d be greeted by a line-up of important figures of the area. Many involved in the area-dispute with Pyongyang, and others are Manchurian VIPs or the indigenous people.
The Tree-God (that tall tree wrapped with red ribbons and God of Changbaishan (riding a tiger) are looking so mighty. The snowy path and are beautiful.
Definitely worth visiting during your stay at Changbaishan!
—————————
Getting There - take Taxi and ask them to wait for you (hard to call for other taxi from this place). We spent 1.5hrs there, roundtrip to Sheraton hotel (around 20mins ride one-way), paid ¥120.
Attractions - ancient town. Good for some walk and photo-taking.
Tickets - it was free when we visited.
Hotels - Closer from Wanda Ski Resort’s area hotels. It would take more than 2hours from North Slope (Crowne Plaza), or stay inside this ancient town!
Food & Restaurants - none that we saw. But also there was no other tourists when we visited. Not sure if it’s always the case or usually there would be food-service.

Wanda Changbaishan International Ski Resort Travel Recommendations for 2023 (Updated in Sep)
Igloo Dining-Hotpot
🚗Getting There- Free transport (pick up and drop off) 🚌is available for everyone staying in Wanda International Resort. Otherwise, You would have to drive yourself to the office, which is right next to the bridge, a few meters away from the main gate. I was first picked up by car from the hotel to the office and then with a snowmobile from the office to the igloo. The ride to the igloos was amazing. It was like riding through the a snow maze in the bushes🌳. The rider was kind enough to stop on the open field to take some quick shots.
❄️Attractions: 🍽Dinner in an igloo, an experience of a lifetime. As freezing as it may sound, as long as you are well equipped, you can survive an hour or two in there. Each igloo accommodates 6 people. 🎇Fireworks can be popped at your own cost. If you get too cold you can always go into the wooden house to feel warm enough to go out again. If you don’t want to go back to the igloo, the food can also be brought inside the wooden house for you. The bench 🪑and the table in wooden house are continuously heated with 🔥 fire.
🍱🥘🍜Food: The food is more than enough, the people were also friendly enough to give me more meat🥩 for free. 🍿Snacks and 🥃🍵drinks are also available at an extra cost.
💰Cost: 560 yuan for the hotpot and igloo experience
🏨Hotels: There are several hotels to choose from in the resort ( Wanda International Resort)

Bucket List CHECKED! My very FIRST Ski!
And it was WORTH IT!
I was born in tropical country so the sight of snowy mountain excites me so much! Never ever tried skiing before and I must say, it was fun only on a gentle slope. The speed is apparently not my thing 😂 Fell so many times (in so many different positions) but happily reporting I’m back without serious injury (expect sore knees and calves).
Overall happy with the experience and read through some more details below that might be useful if you plan to go!
Tips:
1. Check weather forecast and if possible choose a sunny day to visit! You can see the difference from my photos, the day I tried ski it was snowing badly but the next day it was all blue sky and sunny!
2. They have WechatMiniApp to hire a professional coach for different levels (ski or snowboard), but usually full on same day. BOOK BEFORE YOU GO! Search 长白山度假区社员 on Wechat. Do not choose hotel’s suggestions, illegal coach and definitely not safe for beginners (don’t fall for the cheaper price).
3. Although most hotels are international chains, it is not so easy to communicate in English. Equip yourself with basic conversational skill and vocabulary (or just ask them to send messages to Wechat so you can translate)
4. Ski gears: boots, boards, and helmet are usually included in hotel room’s price (check when you book your hotel). Additional rental: jacket & pants ¥60, goggles ¥40. And you’ll need ¥2000 as deposit to activate Ski Card (used for all these rentals, taking ski lift, magic carpet, and gondola). It’ll be fully refunded on the last day.
————————
Getting There - take a flight to Baishan Changbaishan Airport (NBS) and there are red shuttle buses on parking lot taking you to most hotels (just tell the driver which hotel are you going to, they’ll point to the right bus). Around 20mins drive to hotels on Wanda Ski Resort. 2hours+ to North Slope’s hotel, like Crowne Plaza.
Attractions - Ski Resort
Hotels - plenty of options depending on your budget and preferences.
• closest to Ski Entrance: Wanda Hotel / Hyatt & Park Hyatt.
• closest to Hannasan Hotspring: Hyatt & Park Hyatt.
• Westin & Sheraton location is slightly farther to main ski entrance but still walkable.
• Holiday Inn has its own cable car to the main area, but rather far and also directly on a high slope. Definitely not for beginners.
• Crowne Plaza is in North Slope. Has its own hotspring and ski area.
• Swissôtel is one of the popular choice, too, but I didn’t see it during my whole trip (I stayed at Sheraton and spotted all above hotels mentioned, except Crowne Plaza as it is on different area)
Food & Restaurants - Korean Foods (yes, because it is bordering North Korea!) and 东北菜 North East Chinese Cuisines.
Shopping - ski clothes and accessories. Ginseng and medicinal mushrooms. Black pears.
Vegan friendliness - OK! Hotels’s breakfasts are fine. Restaurants are generally happy to modify dishes per your request.
