As the car too many people are too chaotic, and we who have brought a lot of money, has always been afraid to sleep. Later I went to middle of the night, cliff once again set out for replacement ticket, and finally added to the sleeper, you can sleep in peace of mind. (Replacement ticket in the shop 45 yuan a person, if in Jilin able to buy a sleeper on the 100 yuan or so).
Wake up to see out the window, under the snow, very excited, has been looking forward to more snow at lower Xuexiang. Unfortunately, it did some light snow in Mudanjiang days later, until the end of our journey have been no more than under the snow. Xue Xiang will be heard during the Chinese New Year under the snow goose feather, when the time will be very enjoyable, but the New Year many people, and the big snow weather will not be good, Snow would not we now see beautiful sun. Hey, this world of many people or things not always perfect, everything should have a choice, people always so helpless呀.
The train arrived at noon Mudanjiang (like 12 points more than 1 point). Due to Xue Xiang still a long way, we do not stop, immediately bought a taxi to the bus station to 14:40 Changting tickets (12 yuan per person). And then found a snack bar near the station to resolve the problem of food and clothing. Mudanjiang on the streets are placed outside the bars to sell, and even refrigerators are saved, Oh, interesting.
Beautiful scenery on the road, in the middle a black asphalt road winding stretch the distance, the roadside lined with white birch tall tall and straight, both sides of the snow-covered. Car in front of a big "yellow duck" is preparing to go down the mountain. Our spirits are high in this way. Facts have proved that this is only the prelude!
Beside him is a female teacher in Harbin, they also come to some tourism. Heard that we have not been to Harbin, immediately warm to me introduce Harbin how to play. She also told me that they contacted a residence, when we can go together. Gradually the sky go dark, there is no sign of the town, and we are beginning to hurry up, for fear can not catch up to the bimodal forest Changting 4:30 pm (ie Xuexiang) bus. No problem, though the driver can always anxious hearts. The same car a look at our locals worry that he would take the initiative to get off earlier than we do, to give bus driver when he called them, and so few of us. Northeast are Huolei Feng呀!
By Chang-ting have to fight a kind of local micro-car to the station to the bimodal (1 dollar a person). Mini truck drivers have always wanted to us a few packages in his car directly to the two peaks, he pressed his demand a lower price to 170 yuan (a car). The bid was zz from sina already low, and we were a bit shaken. However, the teacher or not, be said to have someone to help us call up the bus waiting for us, this situation can not be owed. We think also right. Within a short while to the station a look, a dense mass of people still do not know if the entire train packed with the goods, and we were dropped. We hesitated whether or not to pack the car to go two peaks, but with the station which pedestrians were also strongly advised us not to, saying that road through the dark night, not good to go, the road is slippery ice surface is easy, car drivers on the road again not familiar with the car also Gone with the Wind, in short, is right that we tremble with fear. And that the result is still a few people together in Changting spent a night (Xue Xiang Hotel, 50 yuan a person).
In fact, if we were playing their own mini-car to two peaks is also all right. Xue Xiang, when we came back from a riding that mini-car drivers. He said they are also frequently heard in this run on both sides, so do not have to worry about. If the night into the Twin Peaks the next day you can play more of a morning, and the double-peak cheaper accommodation. This is quite cost-effective.

To the opposite thing in the morning to eat a bowl of hot porridge 2, and the tasty meat buns. Xue Xiang Hotel around 6:30 the bus came to pick-up (in addition to the station, Xue Xiang Hotel is a pick-up points). But do not start immediately, the car is still turning laps in town, all the way pick up passengers, but more are loading. Chang-ting between the two peaks on this road there are 12 forest farms, tree farms, the people in the inaccessible, all rely on a phone call to buy something Changting (in vegetable food-based), and then sent to the owner of such vehicle delivered in the past, At the same time buyers out of the station next to the driver freight truck. As for the buyers and sellers of money is estimated based on the form of bar account. Such trading Tingyou characteristics, but also the environment caused by the bar.
Take the road to see if they deliver goods, but also an opportunity for us to stay photography. The closer Xue Xiang, snow more thick, but the more cold. Here, the car heating equipment is not the city's good middle of the car alone on the floor a warm iron. Shidianzuoyou we finally came to the Xue Xiang! (30 yuan per ticket)
They followed the teacher into the Xuexiang first stay in the house. Where the man of the house is known locally as chairperson. Is said to be union president, anyway, is official. His house quite clean, the kang is warm, enthusiastic people, very easy-going, often and talk with us, feel like at home. (Gong Kai-lin ,0453-7410777).
In Xue Xiang, everywhere is the family hotel, sleep heated kang, in the kang eat, too authentic life of the Northeast. No matter what house prices are uniform, accommodation 30 yuan a person / night, pack meals 20 yuan a person / days. Of course, you can own a la carte, the price is 20 dollars a day would not be so simple. Our own point, the results must register as if more than 30 one person / days. Their best every time, then ordering him to clear an individual, we are and the Housing Authority money, along with the final count, more than our own budget, a lot more, and no auditing accounts. Estimated that they will not be multi-operator, and should be our point of bar food more expensive, but its not sure. In fact Later he asked the others, pack meals also eat quite good, although not to eat chicken stew hazel mushroom, but also eat a lot of specialties.
The few of us pack the carriages (the locals call it horse sledge) to 81 ski resorts want to see athletes training in the country. Outside the original right of visitors are 15 to 20 yuan a person, we are landlord to help us say 5 yuan a person! Oh, I do not know many people we are, or because he is a officer, who knows. We are also curious about fun horse sledge was sitting, and sitting in a never Quzuo. To ride a cold, the second was frozen feet, quickly ran off a few steps before all right. Two years we get off most of the time Playing in the snow, and car time is not long.
Into Xue Xiang, we seem to drop into a white world, and was immediately captivated by her beauty! Looked at the roof covered with thick snow, we were surprised at the strange shape that is like God made, that snow can not even fall off. A one room is like Santa Claus's home, filled with cream and butter, ice-cream house, like to a fairy-tale world. Side of the road was a thick layer of snow accumulation, and particularly flat and smooth, like milk in general, that textures simply一级棒! America was too much to bear to destroy her. Muzi, or take the lead, but broke down. Eight children by the way is that he did not go to single stepping on the roadside snow feel the thickness of the snow. Hee hee, we also follow suit, and regardless of the snow into the ankle did not even jump that a smooth sea of milk, then straight to the waist did not! In this piece of the sea of snow that we like children laughing heartily as slapstick, it really unrestrained joy.
This speed of course, can not see the training, we decided to come back tomorrow. Anyway, do not see the training can also be Playing in the snow on the road. After eating we went to the village collecting folk songs. Here a scene is really a step, but the camera should be exposed hands, good pain呀. And the camera batteries much faster, but also easy to failure, if not we will have more good works. After the play of the sled (the locals called the sledge), sitting on a sled was rushing down from the mountainside can be stimulated. Each of us have played several times before let it go.
Dark early, the sun was particularly close fast, we had to return to housing. As the cold weather, everyone's appetite is greatly increased, and the Northeast is very fragrant rice, we are well fed. Nothing can stroll at night, we are taught to their home workers, a small cook, to play two cards of the tractor. That young man quite clever, another escalation of background, learning much faster. Is estimated that next time again, the snow village's young people will be playing two cards of the tractor had. Haha, but we have contributed呀.
Heated kang early dinner light a fire had started. To sleep nice and warm, and comfortable sleeping comfortably good sense! But do not rely on a firewall greed warm sleeping, or you can not sleep at night, will be hot呀.

Yesterday morning, the line up and walk along the ski over the past 81. Morning sunlight foot, according to the phase also particularly stick out. Come back to a friend saw the photos we have asked photo is not fake, or processed through Photoshop. They do not know, we really have is that exposure to such a beautiful, where people enchanted scenery.
Although the village to a 81 3 km, but we were rumbling Playing in the snow, I do not think that far. We enjoy playing the snow battle, competing in the snow to leave their own footprints, but also piled a snow man. However, we Southerners do not snowman, only had a small pile. Muzi contributed to his scarf and hat in the absence of material from eyes, had to Muzi's sunglasses are also picked to it. Cute yo, everyone turns and close it in shadow. But the heap exhausted hands had been hardened, and Hehe.
I do not know too happy time, before I came back to play to a noon meal. Harbin, a line of teachers who have been sat 12:30 bus back. We intend to tomorrow morning walk, this way Yabuli more convenient, because this is dark and too early, the road inconvenience.
In kang eaten delicious lunch, we start to go skiing! This, however Muzi dream! Of course, his goal is to Yabuli! Because we are all for the first time skiing, so please the coaches. We do not rent ski suits, many people are wearing down jackets slippery ordinary. That is blowing stiff face, and what is not natural, and Hehe. Everything is difficult at the beginning, we started all came to fear. Coach told us the action essentials, and let go of our own feelings. Wrestling coach said to have its own Shuaichu feelings, so as to learn. The beginning we always fall, but here, the snow thick, wrestling does not hurt. Gradually, we really felt Shuaichu came, Oh, reached the final had not "the Internet" (hanging on the sidelines of the block), and fell down. Coach Dukua We learned quickly it, hee hee! In fact, to be bold as long as the slip on the right, the more fear the more wrestling.
Time flies quickly, to a slip of the performance the last time a result, everyone had a memorial to stay. Trying to flaunt the highest in the Muzi went sliding, resulting slide into the half fell in front of me for a long time failed to get up. I do, it is too fast it will not brake the result straight into the still snow-line in front of a hut. Coach said that knew you are so anxious to pull open the door you go in, Kaka Kaka. We do not see a half-day Cliff came back, finally came to see him holding snowboard, but he still thought that he moves so fast, the snowboard is unloaded. Surprisingly, he said he hit the Great Wall on the (ski resort near the Great Wall with the snow in a ski sled people on the inside), the corner of the Great Wall, bashed, and snowboarding are also fly, ha ha. Sherry skiing I was not problem, but is also found in the snow with only the big toe frostbite, and have no perception, and may be because shoes did not fit. Coach to help her with the snow quickly rub frostbitten areas Guoliaohaojiu began to feel a little bit. The people said ski at night they still continue to rub, not yet able to heat blisters. If not well done, but slow to come, year after year would be guilty of pain. Scared her to death.
Today is the twelfth lunar month 23, the local customs and today is too small years. The landlord an invitation to join us in Chile Dun dumplings. We had wanted to come back with them the package, but we came back Guzhuo skiing and they have already done well. Ski descendants feel particularly tired, but want to get up early the next day by car, so we are early to drill into the warm blanket of.
