Mudanjiang 3-Day City Walk Guide
Lonely Planet calls China Snow Town "the last fairy tale of the Northeast" — seven months of snow, snow mushrooms, snow cakes, like a dream. Jingpo Lake is China's largest volcanic barrier lake, freezing into spectacular ice falls in winter. Hengdaohezi preserves the largest Orthodox church in the Far East.
